Nouveau vs Sphinx

Shared character

Both fragrances contain the same four core notes—musk, peony, lychee and yuzu—yet they do not share any broader accords or fragrance families.

How they differ

Nouveau is built around heliotrope, sandalwood, geranium, tonka bean, blackcurrant bud and a citrus accord, while Sphinx leans on cedarwood, patchouli, peach, lotus and carries floral and fruity accords. Both share musk, peony, lychee and yuzu, but have no other overlapping notes, accords or families.

Who each suits

Nouveau may appeal to wearers who enjoy the creamy sweetness of heliotrope and tonka bean, the woody depth of sandalwood, and a citrus lift. Sphinx may suit those who prefer the earthy richness of cedarwood and patchouli, the fresh fruitiness of peach, and a floral‑fruit character highlighted by lotus.
