Nectar

So, I have a Garden Home. I have a some of my favorite fragrance notes as vines/shrubs/trees. So, when the Grapefruit tree began to blossom, I took a whiff, and was instantly enamored by the complexity of the fragrance that was coming off the blossom. I instantly knew I wanted a fragrance that could emulate that type of powdery creamy zesty freshness that was coming from that blossom. So, I stumbled onto Givenchy Gentleman, which was very close, but was missing something. It needed a deeper "zestiness". Enter a local Tj Maxx, they had this there. I had never heard of it, but knew Commodity does fantastic scents. So, I blind bought it. Omg, so before I even sprayed it, I could smell the citrus already poking through. I didn't bother putting it on a card, I just went head first on my wrist. Immediately I was transported to that blossom. The creaminess was there. The bright, crisp, zesty, green tartness in full glory. And that hint of sweetness of the tangerine. Just the right balance to portray what I experienced, but now I have. A bottle of it. Essence!! (Anyone who knows what I said, gets it. Lol) Surprisingly, it lasts quite a few hours. Roughly, 6-7 hours. And so far, since owning it, I have reapplied just because I wear it to smell that opening which last about 2 to 3 hours, so by the 4th hour, I can still smell it, but I just want it louder, so I reapply for no reason. Simply just to smell it. It's pretty rare a fragrance does that. So, when you include the $40 I paid for it, and I feel it set out to do exactly what I wanted of it. So to me, this is a rare 9/10

I'm not sure if my nose is just not picking up on the bitterness, but on first impression, I get what smells like Neroli mixed with the orange blossoms. To that end, I suppose it can be categorize as "bitter" in the beginning, but I honestly like it that way. I agree in that it's similar to Jo Malone's Orange Blossom, but with a touch more neroli. Nectar feels too intense of a name for something that is actually a naturalistic white floral.

Smells exactly like a hot and humid tropical Aussie summer. A little goes a long way so spray with caution or it could get overwhelming. Amazing during the day but my favourite time to wear it is on a night out when the weather is stink’n hot and the air is thick with humidity. I wish it was available as 10ml though so I can have it with me at all times.

this is my new summer event, absolutely devine, and i do NOT like citrus scents that much. to me it smells like a sweetened, citrus, summer scented soap bar. it’s dry, but also sweet from the pomelo and the neroli. it’s also great for keeping mosquitos away, since it takes on a citronella type of smell.

divine. a green-tinged citrus, warmed up with the honeysuckle the same way that an orchard is warmed by the sun. doesn't last very long on the skin, but the novelty of toting around the giant 3.4 oz bottle to touch up is kinda fun to me.

This fragrance is so beautiful! I receive so many compliments on it. I love the smell of honeysuckle and it smells like fresh honeysuckle on the bush. The citrus is bright and brings it together nicely.

I’m obsessed with jo Malone nectarine blossom n honey, this smells just like it and lasts waaay longer. I get a good 5-6 hours out of this. Absolutely love it!

An aggressive shove into a Sicilian citrus grove. I love this but it might be too potent for others.

Love it, great for vacation or hot summer days)

Pomelo is one of my favorites fruits (if you eat it a lot you'll start to feel the subtle differences with grapefruit) and I've been searching for a true pomelo fragrance and stumbled upon Nectar. Youtuber Sebastian hyped it up for me in a top grapefruit/pomelo fragrance video and I decided to blind buy this. While the opening definitely has a very nice & tart pomelo note, I was hoping it to be a lot more prominent in the composition. The pomelo/citruses here have that nice slightly sharp, sour and bitter raw fruit/peel smell, as opposed to ripe. Don't get me wrong, the scent is very sweet overall, but this dense sweetness is clearly coming from the honeysuckle not the citruses. You kinda have to smell up close to get the details of the citruses, because Nectar's main accord is this sweet and fresh white floral accord especially after the citruses quickly fade in about 20 minutes. The combination of orange blossom and neroli give it a clean, refreshing, spring time smell, and has a slight soapiness to it. Neroli also adds to that slightly bitter opening, which balances the sweetness nicely. The white florals here kinda remind me of a sweet, iced jasmine tea. The performance is quite nice especially the projection. Don't overspray or the honeysuckle sweetness could get cloying. Although Nectar isn't exactly what I expected, and is also pretty feminine leaning (I'm a guy), I really enjoy this scent and the more I wear it the more it's been growing on me. It just feels so clean, pleasant, uplifting, comforting and relaxing.

Applause to Commodity, because this thing smells like straight up nectar from a honeysuckle or something. The opening is pretty beautiful. Fantastic sparkling white floral citrus, a little tangy so the choice of tangier citruses like the bergamot and pomelo definitely show. The neroli is definitely there after the spray but it becomes very subtle afterwards. As with most citruses these fruits fade pretty quickly, and you get a milky, honey-like white floral that smells almost EXACTLY like a honeysuckle. The other reviewers were right this smells like a bee made it lol. On the drydown the citrus is sort of there, and I feel it lingers a little closer to the skin than the florals, still tangy though. Super sweet, but in a natural way, like honey and definitely not like refined sugar. Like what other people say about the whole Commodity line this is probably at its best layered. I've been pairing it with Hermès Eau d'Orange Verte since it highlights the citrus without making it too complicated. They executed the concept very well, but of course if you dislike that concept you'll despise this. It's a little cloying, like eating raw honey.

This fragrance is has a special place in my collection, and it's for no particular reason. She has just become one of my go tos and most reliable fragrances. This is the year I wore her most so far. If became one of my go to work fragrances and also an easy reach for running errands. It's a staple for spring/summer and I felt my review was long overdue. With the summer coming to an end , it felt necessary to share my feelings about it. What you get with this is a citrusy white floral. If you don't like those profiles, this just would not be for you. There's a brightness to this fragrance coming from the pomelo note. Then it softens into a sweet green floral. This fragrance really introduced me to Néroli even though it's not a Néroli forward fragrance. But I love how it peeks out between the blend of notes.

The more I wear this and buy other fragrances, the more I like it! The florals are sweet, I find the citrus note fades pretty quickly on my skin. It doesn’t project virtually at all and after 3-4 hours I can usually only smell it if I get the area I sprayed a good sniff. I blind bought this at TJ Maxx so I’m not disappointed. I like to wear this alone but sometimes I will layer it over a more one note fragrance. I love the scent but it doesn’t last long enough so I wouldn’t buy it again at full price even if I could.

I ordered this based on the fact it had neroli, orange blossom and honeysuckle I thought this might be a much fresher version of LDBS by kilian that I could wear in spring and summer & I was right! And the price is amazing! I love it, it definatley is not super super sweet which isn't summer appropriate for my taste personally like LDBS is (which is what I hoped) I can really detect the honeysuckle note! It's a LOVE I will be purchasing a full bottle ASAP.

A very good choice for spring/summer day time scent, without going too citrusy/freshie. BUT, you have to like white flowers in order to like Nectar. Unlike what its name may suggest, Nectar is strong white florals but on the fresh and green side, with minimum sweetness. To my nose (and my husband's too) this has a similar smell to bottled jasmine green tea. It doesn't project far but stays quite well on me on a warm summer day for about 6 hours.

I blind bought this for $30 at tj maxx because I had heard good things about this brand. It was super floral forward on me, like smelled like a fresh bouquet. Some people might like that, but I tend to think fresh flowers smell a little bit sour and funky. It didn't end up being for me, so I passed this along to a friend. It's strange because I can tell whenever they wear it and it smells amazing on them. Very fresh and citrus forward.

To me this smells of sharp pomelo and honeysuckle blossoms. I sprayed this on a gloomy early march morning in the UK for the first time, and it instantly transported my to the sweltering heat of the summer, sat on my mothers patio, surrounded by honeysuckle and drinking a too strong Gin cocktail haha. Powerful olfactory memories and response to this one :) made me happy even though its not my usual type of perfume.

went into this one with zero expectations and it became one of my favorites from the archive collection. JUICY, bright citrus and honeysuckle. plays well with other fruit notes if you want to up the juice factor by layering. like most other commodity frags, it doesn't scream, and the performance is.... mid to meh for the (newly updated) pricing, but if i saw this at a discount i would not hesitate to pick it up.

To me this smells like very high quality jasmin green tea! there are no notes of jasmin at all, its probably the orange blossom, neroli and honeysuckle that's making it smell like a floral green tea, but i definitely smell green tea here!!! I've actually been on a hunt for a TRUE green tea perfume (not the Elizabeth Arden green tea kind)... and I think this is it!

This fragrance smells like how eating a sour key tastes. This was very unique and I can't say I've smelled anything like this before. It smells almost sour, but in a nice, candied sort of way. This might be due to my love for sour keys, but the more I smell this fragrance the more I appreciate and enjoy it.
