Nox is one I tried ages ago but have revisited because it’s taken time to make my mind up about. It opens with a ozonic blast of bitter, herbal notes and a hint of minty, eucalyptus which I attribute to the combination of hinoki, cedar and wormwood. As it settles the salty sea breeze accord comes into full effect, almost but not quite rendering Nox a washout, Nox isn’t short for noxious as many of the salty sea accords can be. There was the softer sweeter surprise of vanilla in the drydown. This was surprisingly subdued and short lived considering the evident quality. I thought it was okay, bracing start made me think...granted mainly think ‘this isn’t my cup of tea’ salty sea vibes are tonally correct for the composition, with other nice stuff peeking through but not enough to excite me I’m afraid.
