Nostos
Nostos is a niche fragrance house built around the emotions of memory and nostalgia, turning familiar moments into distinctive scents. Founded by Jackie Mayol, the brand launched with three eau de parfums created in collaboration with perfumer Marissa Zappas, each inspired by a specific memory rather than a traditional fragrance family. From the bright, youthful energy of Teen to the crisp atmosphere of Shiver, Nostos approaches perfume as a personal experience rather than an accessory. For shoppers looking beyond classic floral or woody fragrances, Nostos offers thoughtfully composed scents with a modern artistic point of view and a strong sense of storytelling.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nostos
What is Nostos all about?
Nostos is a fragrance from a house that thrives on bold, narrative scents. It conjures nostalgia as a sensory journey, balancing strength and vulnerability with a spicy-floral-woody arc. Top notes mingle incense, mandarin and saffron; heart notes layer Turkish rose and jasmine with oud; the base settles into sandalwood, suede and musk for a lingering, confident finish.
What does Nostos smell like in practice?
Think warm spice meets lush rose and dusky woods. The opening is bright but charged with incense and saffron; a floral-oud heart unfolds; and the dry, slightly smoky base blends suede with musk for a lasting signature.
How should I wear Nostos to get the most from it?
Treat it like a statement: two light sprays on pulse points, then let it bloom. For extra longevity, layer with a matching lotion and avoid rubbing the wrists together after application. A little goes a long way, so start slow and escalate for evening events.
Who is Nostos for?
Nostos speaks to fragrance lovers who want nostalgia with edge. It suits those who love a scent that feels cinematic and unapologetic, crossing from day to night with ease.
How should I style with Nostos to make it sing?
Let the fragrance take the lead and pair it with modern, streamlined silhouettes or a touch of vintage romance. Dark tailoring, leather details, and minimal makeup let the scent do the talking, while clean lines keep the moment contemporary.
