Nostos Shiver Eau de Parfum

Snow melts slowly as the crisp air hits your nose. The earth is defrosting alongside you as the first signs of spring start to emerge.

Shiver feels like the moment winter begins to loosen its grip: you’re standing in a small-town parking lot, snow banks shrinking, cold air on your face as the ground starts to thaw.

You experience a cool, airy profile that leans clean and slightly mineral, with a brightness that recalls leftover snow, wet pavement, and the first hints of green pushing through the slush. The mood is quiet and hopeful rather than loud or heavy, crisp atmospheres that still carry an emotional softness—like walking home in a light jacket for the first time after months of heavy coats, aware that something new is starting even though winter hasn’t fully left.

Top: Eucalyptus, Bergamot, Ivy, White Pepper
Mid: Wet Concrete, Vetiver, Cold Metal, Orris, Pear
Base: Pure Amber, Cedar Wood, Oak Moss, Musk, Patchouli

Nostos is a fragrance-focused sensory brand from the United States that explores the emotional terrain of memory and homecoming through perfume.

Founded by Jackie Mayol, Nostos collaborates with New York–based perfumer Marissa Zappas to translate hyper-specific personal memories into wearable scents, crystallizing experiences like adolescence, intimate nostalgia, and fleeting moments into immersive compositions.

Its debut collection of three fragrances was created to feel like olfactory snapshots of lived experience, designed to connect wearers not only to their own pasts but also to a shared, poetic language of scent.
