Ultimately, if all else fails in the hunt for your new date night scent, it’s best to go with what you know would work. NEST’s Black Tulip ($72) balances the candied sweetness of Japanese violets with pink pepper and an intriguing mix of amber and plum. As the wateriness of the plum cuts through the density of the violets, a tiny strain of patchouli is also released, making this a balanced evening scent that keeps itself in check: perfect for anyone who wants to smell good without thinking about it.
