Nostalgia

I bought a second bottle of nostalgia and sadly have come across the same issue I had with Interplay Extrait, compared to the first bottle which is great this second bottle smells terrible. I reached out to AF and told them about this ongoing issue, now for them to fix the problem and exchange the fragrance they want ME to pay the shipping costs? As I did with Interplay extrait, I will be sending them the new bottle along with a small sample of the original. This is getting out of hand, I bought Paris nights, forbidden plum (both smell great), and nostalgia (horrible) at the same time. There is no consistency and if they somehow mess up the fragrance even if you provide evidence of how their fragrances have variances and horrible harsh ones at that, you have to foot an extra bill for their mistakes. I will no longer be purchasing from this company.

This perfume has a pretty good similarity to MFK Oud Satin Mood. It has the opening impression of Oud that kinda feel so Bozzy, but a little overwhelming from the oud. Somehow there is some oud blend that can feel so boozy. This may be because the oud itself has a Complex aroma. It also has the scent of roses that envelops and makes this perfume so luxurious and certainly very beast, but it didn't stop there. The role of vanilla gives a sweet effect on this perfume, so it has enough temptation to get all attention in the room. Lol. For the occasion itself, I think more is in place for formal events, for the dating scenario could be too much. Maybe a spray would be enough for an intimate moment. Time: Evening to Nighttime. Season: Cold, Spring, Fall. Don't you dare spray it in summer in the middle of the day!

2 different roses used but the scent does not smell feminine at all to me. More candyish than anything and completely unisex. I'm a big benzoin fan and it is a very key note in this composition that uses a minimum of notes to obtain many different accords. Light smokiness with an amber accord is the best way to describe the dry down which is 10x better than the opening. I have not tried the original in years but if you are looking for something different than the typical rose/oud combo this is a good place to start. Get samples from smellsandsuds from Facebook.

I find the most impressive fragrances are the ones that are simple in composition but blended and balanced beautifully. Nostalgia is just that. Soft sweet rose, mild vanilla and benzoin, light oud, and just a tinge of violet is what I detect. Yes, it's not as refined as OSM but the scent is very similar and the performance is better (10-11hrs). The scent remains linear thoughout its life. Also, it's a very versatile fragrance that could be worn year around in just about any occasion.

This is a very nice representation of Oud Satin Mood by MFK. Starts with rose and some oud to my nose. The combination of rose's in this juice are exceptional if slightly feminine to my nose. I would say this is overall a unisex scent once you are 2 hours in or so. You still get rose with sweetness from the vanilla and amber in the dry down. I really like it and it is a great alternative to OSM. Enjoy!
