Arabian origins,
Western refinement.
NOVACRYNE begins where perfume once began: in the Arab world, where scent is part of hospitality, of ritual and of daily life.
The Arabian tradition
For centuries, amber, woods, resins and spices have been blended in the Middle East into scents that are warm, deep and lasting. Scent is worn there not to stand out, but to welcome: in the home, on the skin, in clothing.
The Western eye
In Europe another school grew: bright, light and structured. Fresh citrus, powdery iris, creamy vanilla. Compositions with few notes, well balanced.
East meets West
NOVACRYNE brings those two worlds together. The depth and character of the East, with the clarity and refinement of the West. Every scent is a blend of its own: recognisably Eastern at the base, Western in the opening.
Amber, sandalwood, musk, labdanum, cinnamon, cardamom and cedar.
Bergamot, mandarin, iris, neroli, pear and vanilla.
