The Nue Co.  Otherwhere Comfort Gourmand Eau de Parfum

Features

• Nostalgia is more than a feeling. It’s a physiological response that calms the nervous system and grounds the mind. When you smell something familiar, the olfactory system sends a direct signal to the limbic brain, the center of memory and emotion.
• It’s why scent can unlock vivid memories in an instant, often tied to moments of safety and warmth.
• Research from Brown University found that the scents we experience as newborns hold the strongest power of emotional recall. These early scent memories are imprinted in the brain, forming a blueprint for comfort that lasts a lifetime.
• We are naturally drawn to gourmand notes like vanilla and tonka bean because they share compounds found in milk and childhood sweets. They remind the body of when things were simple, good, and safe.
• In one study, patients exposed to gourmand scents during MRI scans reported 63% less anxiety compared to those exposed to neutral scents (PubMed, 1994).
• Another study showed these same notes can activate the brain’s reward centre, triggering the release of dopamine, the neurotransmitter linked to pleasure and calm (PMC5742189).
• This is the science behind The Nostalgia Collection. Each scent is designed to work with the body’s chemistry to reawaken comfort, release tension, and restore emotional balance: a way back to yourself, through scent.
• The now, shaped by everything before. Smells like skin, but better. Unlike anything you’ve smelled before; it’s familiar yet ethereal, grounding and comforting. Blending notes of Green Cardamom, Almond Blossom and Caramel with the deep complex notes of Alaskan Cedar, Incense and Oud.
