Built on Memory

The soul of our brand begins with our brother, Nicholas Van Aernam.

Born unable to walk or speak, he experienced the world through heightened senses—especially scent. To bring the outside in, we traveled the globe collecting natural materials and capturing real-world fragrances with drone technology, pairing them with immersive virtual films. These sensory journeys allowed Nicholas to explore places he could never physically go—but could deeply feel.

Today, NV carries his name forward. Each vessel we craft is sculptural and intentional—slanted by design to honor Nicky’s uniqueness. Every fragrance is sourced from nature’s raw beauty and built with transparency, sustainability, and reverence.

This is more than a brand. It’s a tribute. A fusion of memory and innovation, design and emotion.
