Nevernot Kitchen in Pool is an eau de parfum from the Indonesian brand Nevernot, released in 2022.
This unisex fragrance has a floral-green character, where the freshness of citrus and cool herbs gradually meets a soft, woody-tonka depth.
The composition is designed for those who enjoy expressive fragrances with a noticeable presence and a contemporary feel.
The name Kitchen in Pool creates an unusual mood: it suggests a playful contrast, where everyday spontaneity meets a sense of coolness and cleanliness.
The fragrance does not strive to be formal or strictly classic. It smells lively, energetic and gender-neutral, making it easy to incorporate into different looks and personal styling choices.
At the opening, Kitchen in Pool comes across as a bright, fresh burst: citrus facets of bergamot and lemon are supported by cool mint and juicy pear.
This combination creates a feeling of clean air, green leaves and a light fruity freshness.
The opening is invigorating, noticeable and well suited to moments when you want to make an impression without heavy sweetness.
As it develops, the fresh accord becomes fuller and more floral.
Geranium adds spicy green notes to the composition, lavender softens the transition and brings aromatic transparency, while wisteria creates a delicate floral nuance.
As a result, the perfume retains its cool temperament while sounding more composed and layered.
Kitchen in Pool is described as having very strong sillage, so it should be viewed as a noticeable accent rather than a barely perceptible background scent.
For the office, small rooms or public transport, it is best to start with a minimal number of sprays and assess how it develops on the skin.
The database does not specify exact application amounts for skin and clothing, so it is sensible to adjust the intensity gradually.
The fresh green-floral theme makes the fragrance suitable for warm weather, especially during the day and in active urban settings.
At the same time, the woody tonka base adds density, allowing it to smell appealing on cooler evenings as well.
Kitchen in Pool will suit women and men who prefer energetic, distinctive and not overly predictable compositions.
In the drydown, amberwood and tonka bean come to the fore.
Amberwood gives the fragrance a dry woody foundation and reinforces its lasting presence, while tonka rounds out the scent with a soft spicy nuance.
Thanks to this, the transition from the fresh opening to the base feels seamless: the composition does not lose its character but becomes warmer and deeper.
If you are interested in the idea of an expressive fresh fragrance with a woody base, try Chanel Bleu de Chanel Parfum for comparison.
Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Absolu and Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass follow a similar direction, but Kitchen in Pool stands out with a more pronounced green-floral accent and a contrasting combination of mint, fruit, flowers and ambery woods.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition opens with bergamot, lemon, mint and pear: sparkling citrus blends with cool aromatic and juicy fruity nuances.
Geranium, lavender and wisteria unfold at the heart, creating a green-floral accord with a subtle spiciness and airy transparency.
The base is built around amberwood and tonka beans, adding dry woody notes, softness and depth.
The overall palette combines aromatic, citrus, floral, fruity, green, spicy and woody nuances. The olfactory character is primarily defined by the floral and green families.
