All Nuence‑MTC skincare products share the same olfactory signature: a floral, green, and slightly gourmand composition, inspired by white tea. This fragrance, 100% natural in origin and compliant with Cosmos Organic requirements, is created by an independent, family-owned French fragrance house. The result of an eco-design approach, it contains 99.825% biodegradable ingredients—a choice that reflects our commitment to conscious beauty, respectful of both skin and the environment.
Like all fragrances, this one unfolds in three stages: top notes, heart notes, and base notes. In this article, the Nuence-MTC team offers an interpretation of this fragrance from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where the botanical properties of plants and energies resonate with each other.
1. Top Notes: Lemon, Green Apple, Aloe Vera
Freshness, clarity, vitality — the Wood energy in TCM.
Lemon — Citrus limon
Botanically, lemon is rich in limonene, a molecule that brings a lively and bright freshness. In TCM, citrus fruits are associated with the Liver, the organ of movement and energy circulation. → Lemon opens the fragrance like a clear breath, which "unblocks" and energizes.
Green Apple — Malus domestica
Green apple brings a crisp, green, almost translucent note. Botanically, it evokes natural aldehydes, which provide a clean sensation. In TCM, apple is linked to the Spleen, an Earth organ, nourishing and stabilizing. It brings a gentle, balancing freshness that prepares the heart of the fragrance.
Aloe Vera — Aloe barbadensis
Aloe is not a perfumed ingredient in the classical sense: its presence brings a gentle, almost watery freshness, evoking sap and plant tissues. In TCM, aloe is associated with purification and cooling energy, two qualities that soothe and clarify. It softens the opening of the perfume, offering it a hydrating, clear, and serene dimension, like a calming and refreshing plant water.
2. Heart Notes: Sweet Almond, Neroli
Softness, comfort, emotion — the energy of Earth and Metal.
Sweet Almond — Prunus dulcis
Almond brings a gourmand, milky, enveloping roundness. Botanically, it evokes natural coumarins, which give a sensation of sweetness. In TCM, almond is linked to the Lungs (Metal), the organ of respiration and refinement. It creates a tender, reassuring heart that evokes care and skin.
Neroli — Citrus aurantium var. amara
Distilled from orange blossom, neroli is floral, bright, and slightly green. Botanically, it contains linalool and limonene, molecules associated with soothing properties. In TCM, orange blossom is linked to the Heart (Fire), the organ of emotions and joy. Neroli brings floral elegance, emotional clarity, and balance.
3. Base Notes: Cedar, Sandalwood, Vanilla
Anchoring, warmth, longevity — the energy of Water and Earth.
Cedar — Cedrus atlantica
Cedar is dry, woody, and structured. Botanically, it contains sesquiterpenes that provide a sense of stability. In TCM, deep woods are associated with the Kidneys (Water), the organ of grounding and longevity. It gives the perfume its backbone, its calmness, its staying power.
Sandalwood — Santalum album
Sandalwood is creamy, warm, and enveloping. Botanically, it contains santalol, a molecule known for its soothing properties. In TCM, it is linked to the Heart and the Spirit (Shen), which it harmonizes. It brings a gentle depth, a meditative warmth.
Vanilla — Vanilla planifolia
Vanilla is gourmand, solar, and comforting. Botanically, it contains vanillin, which evokes sweetness and olfactory memory. In TCM, it is associated with Earth, the Spleen organ, nourishing and balancing. It imbues the perfume with a long-lasting, familiar, addictive sweetness.
