Nelson
Guy Fox's Nelson eau de parfum is the 2022 addition to their collection. It's a green, woody scent featuring eucalyptus, sandalwood and American Cedar.
Their most wood-forward fragrance yet draws inspiration from a place where the woods meet the waves. Picture yourself standing on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean with a towering forest behind you. Nelson captures the freshness of eucalyptus colliding with a warm base of Sandalwood and American Cedar.
Nelson is a light, fresh wood scent that sits close to the skin. It's a very forgiving fragrance that you can spray 2 or 5 times without ever becoming overwhelmed.
Inspired by a favorite modern cowboy who happens to be one of Guy Fox's best friends, the real life Nelson loves the great outdoors. The map on the label features a small coastal California beach that Nelson and his family visit ever year. And of course it's known for its breathtaking views of where the woods and waves collide.
Notes: citron leaf, eucalyptus, green cardamom, black pepper, fresh juniper, clary sage, lavender, sandalwood, upcycled American cedar, patchouli

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchase full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
Excellent scent! Kudos!
I absolutely love Nelson; it is my new everyday.
This scent is definitely masculine presenting (I usually prefer genderless scents) but not in an aggressive way. The description sounds a bit more woody than I would describe this scent as. It gives me the scent in an expensive boutique clothing store; clean, dynamic, and subtle. I tend to prefer scents that are less "cologne"-y and more based on unique notes and components (like DS + Durga Cowboy Grass). This is a wonderfully balanced fragrance that sits between those--the citrus, juniper, and woodiness come through but it also has a bit of a perfuminess to it where it smells like a fragrance rather than essential oils. It is a perfect balance in every way: not too strong but you can smell it, sillage is moderate enough that you can't smell it far away but you also don't need to right up against it.
I have sampled all of the Guy Fox scents and they are all great (though sometimes very similar) but this one stands out as the best to me.
