NEKTAR Fragrance Guide

Find your signature scent

Nektar's gender-neutral fragrances are designed around how they smell and feel. Start with a scent family, then follow the notes that appeal to you. Our spray perfumes are hand-blended in Canada at 35% fragrance oil concentration.

Choose a scent family

  • Fresh citrus: Helios’ Surge smells of orange, mandarin and neroli, settling into pepper, cedar, tonka and musk. Poseidon’s Trident is greener: apple and bergamot over violet leaf, cashmeran, musk and oakmoss.
  • Floral fruit: Eos’ Bloom pairs peach and lychee with peony, jasmine, musk and soft woods. Aphrodite’s Blush combines peach and rose with white flowers, amber, musk and vanilla.
  • Sweet and warm: Ares’ Ember opens with pink pepper and juniper, then toffee, cinnamon, vanilla, tonka and amber.
  • Dark and rich: Hades’ Omen layers saffron and lavender with oud, nutmeg, patchouli and musk. Hades’ Velvet is rose and violet over oud, amber and vanilla.

How notes change on skin

Top notes are your first impression; heart notes develop next; base notes form the lasting trail. Try a scent on your skin and give it time to settle before deciding. Skin, weather and the fragrance itself affect wear time.

How to wear and store perfume

Spray on clean skin at the neck or wrists and let it dry without rubbing. Start with a light application and add more if you like. Store the bottle upright in a cool place away from direct sunlight and heat. Test on an inconspicuous area before spraying fabric.
