French cosmetics and skin care company Nars will celebrate their 25th anniversary this year with Audacious, the brand's first fragrance. Audacious was developed by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti.
Audacious is a smoky floral inspired by the South Pacific island Motu Tane. The notes include frangipani, ylang ylang, cedar, sandalwood, white musk and incense.
Nars Audacious will debut in October. The concentration will be Eau de Parfum; I will update with sizes when I can.

Introducing François Nars’ signature fragrance—top notes of White Frangipani and smoke of incense harmonized with Tiare flower and Sandalwood.
Provocative. Evocative. The new daring sensation. Discover the embodiment of audacity in François Nars’ signature fragrance. Designed as an abstract study of contrasts, top notes of White Frangipani and smoke of incense harmonize with Tiare flower and Sandalwood to arouse an aura that is uniquely minimal, modern, and unexpected. Light meets dark. Sensuality meets individuality. An eau to expression.
Wow, I really hope it’s good.. It has everything working in its favor, but still.
Yeah. Fingers crossed.
And toes!
Esp regarding the white musk…
Beautiful bottle.
It is.
But where is the vanilla…? ?
Ha!
Oh you!
This sounds amazing! I mean you all know I’m a Giacobetti fangirl, but this sounds really interesting.
Smoky and floral, bingo.
I’m intrigued. Love the bottle.
Oh, a new Giacobetti… And the bottle looks amazing. The notes filled me with dread though, “cedar”, “sandalwood” and “incense” often mean lots of iso e super and general synthetic-smelling. But it is a Giacobetti, so maybe it will work out for me.
Pretty bottle, will definitely give it a sniff.
