Uranus — the perfumery alchemy of Nui Cobalt Designs
Nui Cobalt Designs Uranus is a unisex fragrance released in 2025 by the American indie brand Nui Cobalt Designs.
The release is part of the Astrology & Whole Being collection, where perfume compositions are connected with astrological symbolism and the idea of inner balance.
For the brand, founded in the United States in 2017, Uranus continues its characteristic approach to distinctive indie perfumery, where mood, imagery and unusual combinations of accords are essential.
The fragrance is presented as an oil perfume: this concentration develops close to the skin, gradually and softly, allowing the composition to unfold with exceptional flexibility.
At the same time, its stated sillage is very strong, so Uranus can make a noticeable presence in a space despite its oily texture.
It is an intriguing choice for those who enjoy expressive fragrances with an unconventional character and are not afraid to experiment.
The character and olfactory profile of the fragrance
At the heart of the composition is a contrast between cool mineral-airy nuances and rich gourmand accents.
Absinthe adds a bitter-herbal, almost mystical facet, while sweetish almond and fig soften it, making the scent rounder and more seductive.
Ice and ozone create an effect of fresh air, cold radiance and pristine space.
This very contrast makes Uranus memorable: it does not try to be an ordinary sweet fragrance or simply a fresh one.
It combines coolness, fruity juiciness, a touch of bitterness and appetizing softness.
Its olfactory profile brings together drink-like, fruity, gourmand and mineral nuances, while the composition’s main family is gourmand.
Notes and practical recommendations
Uranus is credited to perfumer Forest Nui Cobalt. The listed notes are absinthe, almond, fig, ice and ozone.
No separate pyramid dividing the notes into top, heart and base notes is provided, so it is more accurate to experience the fragrance as a unified composition in which cool, fruity and gourmand accents unfold together.
The exact dosage for application to skin and clothing is not specified in the available data.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small amount and intensify the fragrance if necessary, especially when applying it to fabric.
Uranus may be suitable for cool weather, evenings, creative events or situations when you want to highlight your individuality with an unusual fragrance.
No information is available about other concentrations of this release or the brand’s official website.
There are also no confirmed similar fragrances in the database, so Uranus is best viewed as an independent experimental release by Nui Cobalt Designs — expressive, cool and gourmand all at once.
