The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by the Italian luxury brand Xerjoff, Newcleus is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that bridges the worlds of sweetness and warmth with a sophisticated twist. The composition opens with caramel and green notes, creating an intriguing contrast between sugary indulgence and fresh, crisp accents. This gives way to a heart of rose petals and milk, which blend seamlessly into a musky base of vanilla and sandalwood. Newcleus is neither overly sweet nor heavy, striking a balance that feels both comforting and refined.
Newcleus is best applied in light layers. The caramel and green top notes are fleeting but impactful, so a second application after an hour can help maintain that initial sweetness. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings or quieter evenings.
