Description
About
Novel is a dry, woody fragrance with mild pepper and a subdued vanilla sweetness. Its warm, slightly dusty character evokes aged paper and book bindings, with woods supplying the main structure and vanilla softening the composition without turning it into an overtly sweet gourmand.
An aromatic fragrance for men released around 2022: it features cumin, bergamot and heliotrope at the top, a heart of almond, lavender and jasmine, and a base of vanilla, amber and sandalwood — leaning into creamy almond-vanilla territory with woody support.
