Get to Know Astrum Nova – A Celestial Masterpiece by Electimuss

An Ode to Earth, Sky & the Art of Scent

Introducing Astrum Nova, the newest release from Electimuss’s “Lustrous” collection a captivating fragrance crafted by perfumer David Chieze. Chieze has created a modern interpretation of oud, weaving together fruity, woody, and musky facets to evoke a powerful celestial narrative

INSPIRATION BEHIND THE SCENT

Astrum Nova draws its name from the Latin for “new star,” and the fragrance symbolizes the ancient cosmic practice of astro-gardening: aligning cultivation with celestial events. The scent aims to celebrate humanity’s timeless bond with the heavens and the earth, offering a luminous yet grounded presence.

FRAGRANCE NOTES – A SENSORY EXPLORATION

Top Notes:
Citrus medley (bergamot, lemon, mandarin), ambrette seed, and mango – a vibrant, sunlit opening that feels fresh and uplifting.

Heart Notes:
Blackcurrant, orris (iris root), and osmanthus – a rich, slightly fruity-floral heart that bridges brightness and depth.

Base Notes:
A warm blend of oud, oakmoss, ambertonic, ambroxan, musk, tonka bean, and vanilla – a sophisticated, earthy, and smooth dry-down with a radiant trail.

David Chieze explains:

“This composition is an exploration of a different facet of Oud… there is also a fruity facet in it, that, if dressed properly, makes it shine in another way… the fruity and animalic facets of Osmanthus are linking the Mango and the Oud together… Vanilla and Orris … make sure the bottom notes stay smooth and accompany the oud with elegance and richness” 

ROOTED IN HERITAGE

Created by London-based Electimuss, Astrum Nova still pays homage to ancient Rome—not through empire, but through its cosmic connection to time, planting cycles, and the harmony of nature and stars. It embodies the brand’s premium ethos: 25–30% pure parfum concentration, rare ingredients, and thematic depth.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Astrum Nova is a compelling sensory journey—a bright, fruity start grounded by refined oud and creamy warmth. For daytime sophistication or evening elegance, it’s a modern classic with a story rooted in both earth and sky.
