The 5 Best Nette Fragrances NYC It Girls Are Wearing Right Now

I actually find it really hard to place this fragrance within the walls of any singular fragrance family—and that’s precisely why I love it. The tangy brightness of the lemon takes charge, but the addition of gourmand notes like torched meringue, toasted almond, and vanilla bean prevents it from being too airy or zesty. It tingles my nose with just a spray and is one of the only perfumes that manages to bottle innocence with such complexity. The brand describes it as a simultaneous mix of “lemon groves at sunrise, toasted meringue, crisp white sheets in an old-world 5-star hotel, and a Parisian patisserie.”

Review: “This has such a lovely and sophisticated fragrance. I thought it would be overwhelmingly lemony, but it's not. Blended well and sprays like a dream.”

I’m definitely biased, but I firmly believe that Pear Jam is the best scent from the brand’s entire offering. As a floral hater, I was shocked by how much I love this, but one spray has me convinced that it’s joy personified. Think: eating a juicy peach on a white sand beach or having a PB & J at a picnic in a floral field. Now, my life is not that picturesque, but I’ll certainly spray on the sentiment. And a little fun fact for fragrance nerds: Demi Moore in Ghost inspired this fragrance.

Review: “I love the pear jam perfume because the top notes of pear are perfectly blended with the deeper base notes. It smells perfect for fall or summer and never gets old.”

I’ll be totally honest: this was not a love at first scent situation for me—more like a slow burn. I was expecting something reminiscent of a tart, loaded frozen yogurt dessert and instead was met with a very powdery perfume that gave more tropical rainforest than gourmand. My mistake was thinking this was a traditional yellow banana fragrance; the blue banana almost smells like the peel. Once I was able to check my expectations, it started to grow on me. The scent bounces between powdery and milky depending on the duration it's been sitting on the skin, eventually settling into a cashmere-like blanket of creamy comfort. You need to trust the process with this one, but it’s well worth the wait.

Review: “This is such a pretty scent! It’s definitely not a stereotypical banana scent, more of a powdery, floral vanilla. I’m usually not a fan of vanilla scents, but between the nuttiness of the sesame notes and the powdery, starchy rice, I really can’t get enough of this fragrance.”

If Mochi Banane is a chic Upper East Sider, then Rose Parade is a trendy Tribeca girl. It’s probably the most youthful, playful scent from the brand, drawing inspiration from rose bushes blooming on a spring day. I like to think the girl in low-rise jeans with a cherry bag charm on her Fendi baguette is wearing this scent. As for the note breakdown: it's heavy on the rose at first, settles into a white floral, and dries down with an amber-and-vanilla finish.

Review: "I won't lie–I normally despise rose perfumes; I find them to smell a little stale and dusty. But this might just be the exception. It's more of a sweeter, airy take on the classic note. Just give it time to mesh with your skin—it took around two hours for it to really grow on me."

I stand by the fact that vanilla ice cream is better with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, and Nette agrees. This doesn’t fit the typical archetype of a vanilla perfume—it’s less gourmand and more mineral. With the addition of matcha, a note that’s notoriously marine and powdery, and turmeric root, which is spicy and bright, it feels like an unexpected take on the gourmand trend. I actually find it the ideal scent for summer nights.

Review: “I got the Nette Discovery Set and ended up buying this in a full size. It was my favorite Nette scent of them all—but you definitely have to smell it before you buy because it’s not what you expect! I pick up a lot of the matcha notes, which are balanced nicely by the creamy base notes—but this is not your typical vanilla scent at all. I could wear this for any occasion, and I just really enjoy it every time I wear it. A great addition to my fragrance collection!”
