Highlights
Summary
The Nue Co. Otherwhere Nostalgia is the now, shaped by everything before. Smells like skin — but better. Unlike anything you’ve smelt before. Notes of Caramel, Gentle Oud, Sandalwood, Cardamom, and Incense create a fragrance reminiscent of the past, but grounded in the present.
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.

Such a beautiful scent, smells sophisticated and sexy! I nice mix of sweet and woody <3
The most beautiful blend

This is a gourmand fragrance but has so much depth to it. The caramel gives a hint of sweetness to it but the sandalwood provides a perfect woody warmth, without being overpowering. It's the perfect day to night fragrance as it lingers on the skin all day. I love the packaging too - the purple bottle looks stunning on my dressing table.
Insanely beautiful scent

Okay this perfume is SO insanely beautiful, it's not something that I can quite place. It's long lasting, feels very grounding and has the right level of sweetness.
Stunning

The stunning glass bottle and the nue co logo sculptural lid, this is something special. It's a work of art. The scent is also a perfect balance of caramel, gentle oud, and it really lasts (which was something some of the others nue co scents lacked) - love
Something totally new

OH MY!!!! Ok this smells insane. Nothing like anything I have smelt before but a true Nue Co classic. If you like their signature woody/musky take then you will like this. The unlikely pairing of caramel and incense gives this gourmand a night time/ sexy edge. Smells amazing on everyone
