Electimuss London Astrum Nova Review (David Chieze) 2025 + bridging oud and mango giveaway

Astrum Nova by Electimuss

Electimuss London Astrum Nova via the brand

Before you watch Redolessence review of Electimuss Astrum Nova, I asked LUZI Senior Perfumer David Chieze (he was co-perfumer for KAJAL Faris and the nose for M.Micallef Ô Féminin) about his creative process: “There is mango in the top note which is an accord. There are also citrus notes to give some freshness. Ambrette seed with its fruity, musky and freshness links oud and mango together. In the heart, osmanthus (fruity and animalic) links the oud and mango. The blackcurrant plays the same role. In the bottom note, Ambertonic (a musky woody spicy molecule) continues building the bridge between oud and mango. Orris, tonka and vanilla softens the animalic facets of oud which I didn’t want to express in this fragrance.” –Michelyn Camen, Editor in Chief

Top: Mango, Bergamot, Mandarin; Heart Notes: Blackcurrant, Osmanthus, Orris; Base Notes: Oud, Ambertonic, Vanilla, Tonka, Oakmoss, Musk

    Davin mentioned the osmanthus note (fruity and animalic) that links the oud and mango. A tropical oud fragrance…yes please. Steven’s nose picks up a “darker mango” and that description sounds interesting. I’m a fan of Electimus London. One of my faves is Trajan. MI USA

  • LATONYA GIPSON-BOWMAN says:

    Steven, had me at the Strongest Mango fragrance, and David had me with the description of the note breakdown. Mango, Oud and Blackcurrant, Vanilla, and Tonka….yes I would love to add this one to my collection. Thank you for the opportunity. I live in Orlando Florida,USA

    I own Imperium and Trajan from Electimuss. I love those fragrances so much. Steven’s channel on YouTube is a channel I love to watch and get all the new fragrances from. I hope you win Astrum Nova because Mango and Vanilla are my favorite notes in fragrances.

  • serdzo says:

    I really enjoyed how David Chieze broke down the role of each note in the fragrance, describing how it contributes to the finished scent, and as always, Steven’s reviews are a pleasure to watch with a likewise detailed explanation of how Astrum Nova smells and even how it feels to wear the fragrance. I would absolutely love to own this one!

  • Dumitru Preda says:

    Love the note of Mango in perfumes, seeing Redolessence review this is definitely my cup of tea style of perfume , I really love to win a bottle or at least have the chance of smelling it from a sample .
    Much appreciated

  • ms_katie_baby says:

    Steven does this so effortlessly, always inspiring to watch him in action.
    And I really appreciate how the David used mango as the star and built a bridge between the fruity brightness and the depth of oud and vanilla. Just incredible!

  • jlsteckley says:

    I thought David Chieze’s introduction of Electimuss London Astrum Nova was really engaging. He did a great job highlighting its brightness and complexity. Steven’s video added another layer by breaking down the nuances in a way that felt very approachable and detailed. I’m definitely familiar with Electimuss London, and my personal favorite from the house is Persephone’s Patchouli. It’s such a rich, elegant take on patchouli that really stands out.

    Sounds amazing! Never smelled a fragrance with a mango note. Can’t wait to check it out!

  • Brad Woolslayer says:

    I liked how David Chieze talked about how the different notes in this fragrance work together, especially ambrette seed and mango. I enjoyed Steven’s thoughts on this one, especially how this isn’t so much about our, but mostly about mango. I live in Maryland USA and would love to win a bottle of this fragrance.

  • Ramses Perez says:

    I love that David Chieze explained with every note that they all serve the purpose of bridging mango and oud. Now, don’t be apprehensive with the oud accord as he explained at the end that the addition of vanilla and tonka tones down the oud. Then Steven mentions the mango accord here is strong and I will say mango can be that. I have smelled many mango-centered fragrances and it tends to take over even against prominent notes like vanilla or other fruity notes. If this is the strongest mango fragrance out there now like Steven said, I’m definitely gonna love it. Many thanks to Kintessence for the giveaway and I’m located in the USA.

  • nduggs says:

    Mango notes are so interesting and fun to explore! Watching redollessence’s review makes me eager to try this! Located in NY

  • Jona says:

    That sounds like a really good combination. I’ve always been a big fan of strong, animalic notes like oud or civet. In general, perfumes like Oud Wood, Oud Khôl, Alexandria II Anniversary, and Oud for Greatness are incredible. Earlier this year I discovered Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli, and I’ve been saving up to buy it because it’s quite expensive. Astrum Nova is definitely a perfume I’d like to try.

  • reyessence89 says:

    Animalic Osmanthus is something I’ve not experienced, as far as I know. I guess it makes sense that the perfumer used it to bridge fruity mango with the oud. Although it is curious that he relied on animalic osmanthus, but suppressing the animalic facet of oud.
    As for Redolessence’s video, I’m hoping that the oud is not as hidden as he said. I’m an oud fan (synthetic and natural), and I’ve enjoyed passion fruit, cherry, apple, etc. paired with oud. So, Astrum Nova is right up my alley. I own six bottles from Electimuss – Rhodanthe, Auster, Amber Aquilaria, Gladiator Oud, and Patchouli Of The Underworld, so I’m familiar with the quality. I live in the USA.

  • Susan Tierney says:

    I cannot wait to get my nose on this creation. I have few misses with blackcurrant, orris, mango, and oud. Sounds unique and tropical!

  • Steven A says:

    The written intro spoke of the notes and their connection. The video explained the mango and sweetness and darkness. US

  • samozain1 says:

    David’s introduction got me interested. I am a fan of fruity oud in general and to see mango with oud linked is something I have been waiting for. I love the addition of citrus to freshen the oud and vanilla/orris to soften it. The transition from mango to the oud base had me! Steven confirmed!

  • David F says:

    I am intrigued with this fragrance because of the special notes that it has. steven mentions how well the oils are mixed to create a beautiful fragrance. oud and mango are one of my two favorite notes in perfumery. also want to say the way david chieze introduced the notes makes me want to acquire this fragrance even more, i heard about Electimuss London through steven and i see the quality of your products is top notch. thank you for the opportunity.

  • Alex says:

    From the listed notes alone this fragrance seems to be very interesting combining citrussy freshness with dark oud. I could imagine it beeing very versatile troughout the year and occasions. Definitely cant wait to try!

  • Ricardo says:

    Hello I would Like to share Steven has been incredible with his works those days that always a man look to be incredible and smell incredibly good, I just saw the video Electimus astrum Nova, and I bought the sample before watch this video and the curiosity I’ve been enjoying so much this scent is not that heavy and has a strong potential to go to work with it, to go out it’s pretty versatile I think come from the oud, and mango citrusy that’s a perfect scent.

  • ianbradleyandrews says:

    This sounds awesome. Reading about it, the black currant jumps out to me the most. Steven describing the strongest mango fragrance peaked my interest. I’d love to win and live in Indiana.
