Totem
It's a perfume so hard to describe! Let's start with the bottle, very particular, certainly not go unnoticed, a big Y, it almost looks like an Indian Totem, with the chrome ball-shaped spray, marbles so fashionable in the 90s. I always wanted to smell it but I never had the opportunity, then seeing the prices on the internet I had to wait for the deal to make it mine.
I remember that in the commercial there were so many guys, so I always imagined it as a perfume for the young age but I was wrong, this is a great perfume wearable by everyone. This fragrance has different elements, but the one that stands out the most are the spices, it opens with pepper, a lot of nutmeg, lavender and leather, a sort of mineral notes, accompanied by woody hints, with a very "classic" and solid base, made from cedar and patchouli. The modern intro blends in great with the base, the spices, the floral sweetness and the sea breeze very well accompany the final woodiness, making it a unique perfume. Sweetness reminds me a little of JPG hurts. I have to say a lot about the 2000s, especially the opening brings to mind the videos on MTV, the first CompactDiscs, the first mobile phones, the boyband, the first videogames.
Average projection and longevity, a beautiful sweet, sticky and basically aquatic essence remains on the skin.
Today it is unacceptable, if you find it as a remnant in some store, buy it without delay, I recommend, those with the Y shape

A Fabulous Woody Anti-Powerhouse Scent from the Past With A Perplexing Bottle...
Nemo opens with a walnut-like accord, mixed with nutmeg and cardamom spices deftly blended using a very subtle implementation. Just detectable underneath the light spices is an initially supporting cedar incense that grows stronger as the scent enters its heart phase eventually becoming the star. The woody incense is joined by a slightly sweet labdanum and supporting patchouli tandem. During the dry-down, the labdanum grows as the woody incense diminishes; giving the dry-down a resinous amber quality that dominates the now relative skin scent. Projection is below average and longevity is average.

Nemo is an incredible scent, plain and simple. I expected an 80s crude and bold powerhouse type of scent (even though Nemo was released in the late 90s), and instead got a very subtle well-blended and highly polished lightly spiced woody incense and labdanum driven scent that is much less sweet than many other have indicated, just enough to effectively soften its already smooth nature even further. The amber-like dry-down really sneaks up on you as the transition between the cedar and the labdanum is handled exceptionally well. The bottom line is this is an outstanding composition by Jean Bethouart that should never have been discontinued. While prices for the limited remaining stock are increasing by the day, Nemo is definitely worth the investment, earning a stellar rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 and an easy "buy" recommendation.

There was a time the 1990s were about sweet spiciness, Gucci Envy included. Enjoy the times gone bye.
