Dumont Nitro Black 100ml

The composition

The first minutes bring Apple, Black Currant, Bergamot and Pineapple; the middle settles into Patchouli, Birch, Lavender, Pepper, Rose and Jasmine; closing on Amber, Musk and Vanilla. Overall it reads dry rather than sweet.

On the skin

It projects and lingers, which means one or two sprays is genuinely enough. Wears from the cold months into spring, and it comes in a 100ml bottle.

When to reach for it

We file it under Beach & Holiday, Office & Everyday and Date Night. The picture we have in mind is linen drying in the sun — that is the moment this one is for. If woody-spiced scents already work for you, this will feel familiar.
