Le Fleur Narcotique

On my skin, the opening is a bright, watery burst of Litchi and Peach. It doesn't smell like a literal fruit basket; instead, it feels like a high-end, chilled fruit tea you’d sip at a luxury resort. It’s crisp, slightly tart, and very refreshing. As it settles, the Peony really takes the lead. This is my favorite part—it’s a "cold" floral, not a powdery or heavy one. It reminds me of fresh flowers kept in a florist’s refrigerator. There is a certain "metallic" or "airy" quality to it that makes it feel very modern and expensive. It’s the kind of scent that makes you feel put-together, even if you’re just wearing a white t-shirt and jeans. Is it a 100% match for the original Ex Nihilo? Maybe 90%. The original is perhaps a bit smoother in the transition, but for the price I paid, Fragrance World has done an incredible job. It’s a "safe" scent, but it’s definitely not boring. If you like scents that are floral, airy, and sophisticated without being cloying or sweet, you need this in your collection. It’s my "clean boy" aesthetic in a bottle.

Im a man, and i looove this fragrance for myself as in wearing it not in public. Too feminine for me. Bought a decant because i was curious on Fleur Narcotique, ended up having a full bottle just for room spray. Delicious juicy lychee opens up bright and explosive. Great initial projection. Let it dance for a while, then the white floral comes to say hi. A bit pale but super soft and it doesnt mean that you couldn't smell it. Almost like a good, cozy bed sheet after your side chick stay the night if you get what im saying. Tad bit musky but like really2 late on the drydown. Sprayed it on the inner part of my hat, lasted 3 whole day with all the sun in Indonesia. Astonishing. If i could afford Ex-Nihilo ill definitely buy it just because how good this dupe is. But i agree with the DNA familiarities on this, doesn't make it not unique though. 9.3/10

I just got this today and sprayed one spray on my wrist. Yes, the first few minutes were not pleasant, but the dry-down and the fragrance just got more and more delicious and magnificent! Le Fleur Narcotique has not been reviewed much and has not been given the attention it deserves. I currently live in Morocco. My husband is Moroccan and speaks many languages, including French and Arabic. I recently discovered Arabic perfumes and have bought many. Each one is just fabulous! My husband can read the Arabic name and pronounce French perfectly. He loves everyone of the Arabic fragrances I bought for him and me. I am a perfume collector for more than 30 years and always bought perfumes in the USA. Obviously, I kept just my favorites. This, along with many other fragrances will be with me always!

One of the safest blind buy imo, inoffensive flower scent. Opening for me is all about peach and bergamot, or more like peachy earl grey, and later we get peony until it fades away few hours later. Easy to wear, safe office perfumes, safe for a gift, to wear when you don't have mood for anything else weird from your collection, and when you have to meet your potential mother in law for the first time. And later she will ask you what you wore ;)

The exact same, seriously. Absolutely gorgeous and long lasting. Edit: Not as long lasting. But very beautiful and similar.
