Nuvole

Nuvole, which means clouds in Italian, was released by Zeromolecole in 2010 and composed by Stefania Marzufero Boni. It is mostly citrus, with a soft musky layer beneath.

The note list is short and the idea is simple: clean, airy lightness. Lemon and citron open with a fresh, zesty brightness, citron being a little rounder and less sharp than lemon. Flax adds an impression of linen, dry and slightly powdery, like freshly washed fabric drying in the sun. White musk then settles everything into a soft, laundered finish that sits close to the skin and supports the cloud theme of the name.

This is the sort of scent that suits warm weather, mornings, the office and any moment when a discreet, clean freshness is wanted rather than presence. It is meant to be worn by anyone and will appeal to people who like simple citrus and clean-linen fragrances that feel calm and uncomplicated.
