Molton Brown’s new Geranium Nefertum range caught me by surprise. I couldn’t wait to try it on Mr. AMR, so much so that I ran downstairs to spritz him. He thought something big had happened! The fragrance was already captivating in my office, but on a person, it became truly irresistible.
It left a scent that reminded me of a mysterious, dashing secret agent visiting my workspace. If I had to describe it, I’d say it combines the freshness of figs with warm, woody undertones. It feels like a fresh summer morning blended with hints of an exotic adventure. Imagine the musky scent of a confident man in a linen shirt.
The fragrance mixes fig with bergamot, geranium, jasmine, sandalwood, oakmoss, and labdanum. I was curious about the name “Nefertum,” which doesn’t refer to a scent but to an ancient Egyptian God of perfume and aromatherapy. If I could, I would definitely take that job!
There’s an old-world charm to this fragrance, reminiscent of hot desert sands and floral breezes. It’s both comforting and exotic, sweet yet deep, with a blend of florals and woodiness. It’s the kind of scent that makes you take notice, just like those from Le Labo or Byredo.
Mr. AMR has claimed the Geranium Nefertum deodorant, which is convenient and affordable, while the Eau de Toilette offers an even more pronounced effect. Though marketed as unisex, I’ve focused on how it enhances the appeal of a sexy man, but rest assured, it’s universally appealing for anyone who enjoys alluring scents.
You can explore the whole Geranium Nefertum collection, which includes body lotions and shower gels, at stores like Molton Brown or LookFantastic.
