Astrum Nova by David Chieze
“A celestial burst of citrus and luscious fruits, anchored by precious woods and sensual vanilla.”
Luminous, effervescent, scintillating
Astrum Nova is an elegant woody fragrance with an abundant heart that bursts with fruity notes. Opening with a constellation of citrus essences, Astrum Nova ascends with bergamot, lemon and mandarin. A lush garden filled with delectable mangoes and dark berries adds an ambrosial effect, which is continued by the apricot-like freshness of osmanthus flower and luxurious orris root. This effervescent opening is grounded by precious oud and oakmoss to create a deep woody effect and a sophisticated trail. Ambery notes and musk give a sensual and lasting impression with warm tonka bean and vanilla. The effect gives a feeling of modern opulence and is joyful to wear. Fiery and vivacious, Astrum Nova is a luminous and refreshing fragrance inspired by the natural world.
