Description of Nez 1 1 - Le Lac
Nez 1 1 - Le Lac is a unisex Eau de Parfum released by Nez in 2021.
This fragrance is designed for those who appreciate unconventional perfumery, cool mineral accords and an expressive character that cannot be confused with classic floral or gourmand compositions.
The Nez brand was founded in Paris in 2019, continuing the idea of popularising olfactory culture previously associated with the pages of a magazine.
In Le Lac, this editorial attention to detail is especially vivid: the composition is built around an unusual contrast of freshness, technical nuances and dark woody-resinous shades.
Character and olfactory profile
The fragrance belongs to the aromatic and mineral families, while its olfactory profile unfolds further through woody, balsamic and ozonic facets.
Its character combines icy airiness, green freshness and a dense smoky-resinous texture, creating the impression of a waterside setting where clean air meets damp wood and industrial nuances.
Aldehydes play an important role, giving the composition a radiant, almost metallic opening and a feeling of cool cleanliness.
Eucalyptus and mint sustain the fresh impulse, while a petrol accord adds boldness and a contemporary character.
Ozone intensifies the impression of transparent air, while pine and tar create a deeper, darker and more resinous background.
Development and sillage
On the skin, Nez 1 1 - Le Lac feels like a dynamic composition that moves noticeably from cool, airy nuances towards green woody and balsamic shades.
As a result, the fragrance never feels linear: its character evolves while retaining its recognisable mineral coolness and distinctive petrol accent.
The sillage is described as very strong, making Le Lac a good choice for those who enjoy noticeable fragrances and want to leave behind an expressive trail.
For everyday wear, it is worth taking the composition’s intensity into account and starting with a small number of sprays, especially indoors or in warm weather.
Specific recommendations for applying it to skin and clothing are not provided in the database.
The perfumer and the fragrance impression
The composition was created by perfumer Annick Menardo, known for working with contrasting, richly textured and memorable materials.
In Le Lac, his style is expressed through the daring combination of fresh natural nuances with unusual petrol and tar facets.
This fragrance will appeal to women and men who see perfumery as a form of self-expression and are not afraid to experiment.
It is especially intriguing in cool weather, for evening walks, creative settings and occasions when you want to emphasise your individuality.
For further exploration, consider Loewe Solo Loewe, or compare it with Elizabeth Arden Iced Green Tea and Xerjoff Accento Overdose — though Le Lac retains a colder, more mineral and provocative character.
