A Year of Niche Perfumes at Nectar Atelier - 117

👋 Hi fragrance friend,

Through my Scented Letters, 2025 was a year of exploring fragrance as a mindful ritual of connection. As I reflect on the year, a few scents stand out more clearly than others — not for how bold they were, but for their ability to ground, connect, and evoke feeling. They offered moments of wonder, reverie, and presence when I needed them most. In no particular order of love:

• Havana Gold arrived as nostalgia. Warm and familiar, it felt like returning — to memory, to softness, to something gently golden that lives just beneath the surface of time.
• Outlands brought wilderness. Open, untamed, and grounding, it reminded me of wide landscapes  — the expansiveness of nature when things feel oppressive.
• Existence held reverence and presence. Airy yet profound, it felt contemplative, almost luminous — a scent that invites stillness and awareness, asking nothing more than to be felt.
• Eshal was exuberant nature in full bloom. Lush, radiant, and alive, it carried the pulse of the earth — generous, expressive, and deeply sensual.
  
• Solar Flair intoxicated with floral warmth. Radiant and enveloping, it felt like sunlight.
• Like This stayed close, a subtly spiced second-skin cloud. Soft, comforting, and enveloping — the kind of scent that becomes part of you rather than something you wear.
• Celine Zouzou added elegance to comfort — beauty held in a softly glowing, golden-pink cloud.

These fragrances shaped my year in subtle ways. They became markers of feeling — small anchors throughout the seasons, reminding me that scent can be a form of presence, a pause, a way of noticing the world within and around us.

I hope you find yourself reaching for a scent that meets you exactly where you are.

With kindness,
🕊 Flor at Nectar Atelier
