Neroli Nasimba

I find that one of nature's greatest expressions of elegance is manifested in felines. What could be more beautiful than watching the fluid movement of a lioness on the hunting ground: its sinuous, delicate majesty, its velvety steps... Nasimba means lion in Swahili, and this fragrance has been defined as a ‘Feline Neroli’. I could not find a more appropriate description: the sparkling, citrusy opening, with slight bitter nuances typical of neroli, is combined with animalic tones, with a sophisticated but at the same time wild leather, which make this an olfactory creation truly remarkable. And for me it is the scent of the lioness: it brings finesse, sensuality and strength, something unusual but magnetic especially on a woman. Of course it got into my collection, it couldn't be any other way. Appropriate for every season and occasion. ‘Lion with Lioness’ painted by Antonio Ligabue.

I love this perfume, i think maison crivelli is overall unique, trend builder and for sure the quality reflect on to what they deliver. i have been trying to control my addiction and not buy it - but then i tested it again and it was the only perfume across many coming to my nose.. finally i own a bottle - first of all i am bit surprised people selected more mens perfume to me its the book of unisex as a female i am loving it and never expect a compliment when i wear a perfume . To me its a feel good perfume. i actually get it as per the list above neroli white flowers and then a close to skin, smooth leather. For me its a day night every season every hour type if perfume. I find it super elevated , unique and to any perfume with neroli still an insanely good performer. I dont represent vanilla gourmand club - so this is definitely what i needed and what i wanted

I feel if they had just named this scent Tangerine Leather, or something like that, its reception would have been much better. That’s what this is. Like other reviewers I sampled this a lot before deciding on a bottle. I also ordered about 15 “fresh” leather and leather neroli combinations samples only to decide I got it right the first time. The leather accord is very interesting here, not the smokey leather I’m used to, but instead almost translucent and slightly oily one that seems to merge with the neroli in a very subtle fruity way. There is a surprising amount of neroli here though, you can really sense it in the late dry down (8 hours) when the leather subsides. Still, those looking for a neroli focused fragrance might be put off by the leather switcheroo.

I received this as a sample, and I fell in love immediately. It smells like a more expensive, bit fresher, bit more floral, creamier, little less anabolic version of Gucci Guilty Absolute. Sexy, confident, calm. You should smoke a cigar and practice your rich guy laughter to match this scent. It might be unisex, especially in the beginning, but I still feel like this is for a man. To be honest. Sorry! It's 78% alcohol, so it behaves like a parfum. Think of a scent bubble rather than laser beams coming from you. Longevity: 15+ hrs. Edit: I'm layering this with Gucci Guilty and what a success! Recommend!

its very simple scent, I must say, I dont like it, for summer maybe good I must edit this: after few tries, I must say, its lovely scent, I rly starting to love it, yes, its smells like something old, but its very likeable scent and scent profile EDIT 2: best neroli I ever smelled EDIT 3 on 30.1.2026: finally order a 100ml of this masterpiece, lovely scent, not very likeable from other parfume lovers, but I am in love with this kind of scent, best neroli, best leather, on of the best spring and autumn scent for daytime

I really, really like this one. The leather they’ve used is a bit similar to Gucci Guilty Absolute’s leather, and it feels like a natural extension of the Neroli which can be quite a leathery floral by itself. It’s fairly linear, opens with a bit of cardamom, and turns into something a bit more simple and leathery as it dries down, but it’s never derivative or redundant. The overall effect is an arid, smoky and textured floral that still retains lightness and transparency. Incredibly chic.

I tested this fragrance a lot before ordering a full bottle, every summer I try to look for a unique citrus scent and the leather add-on is what captured my attention. I can happily say that this checked all the boxes for me to add it into my citrus library collection. Sometimes simplicity and an unusual note like the leather in this fragrance makes a scent standout among other freshies.

A love at first sniff sort of masterpiece. The most unique neroli fragrance I've ever smelled. Floral on the opening, a bit spicy and the dry down is just heavenly addictive. As a leather lover, this is one of the best hidden gem I've owned. You guys who do not enjoy, please keep on not enjoying. The least people known/wear it, the better. I will gatekeep this.

A true masterpiece. I believe it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves—but I’m perfectly fine with that, as long as it keeps me smelling unique. I personally don’t get the strong leather note that many people mention. To me, everything feels incredibly well-balanced: not too much leather, not too much neroli, not too much citrus. Just perfect.

I don't know why, but this perfume draws me in; I keep smelling my wrist. It's a dry, woody, and floral summer perfume with leather notes. I've never been a fan of leather perfumes, but this is a fresh leather perfume I can tolerate and like to wear. Many people dislike it; it's a "love or hate" perfume,I will definitely purchase it.

This neroli fragrance is absolutely unique! It strikes the perfect balance between floral and fresh, reminiscent of Tom Ford Neroli but with a delightful floral twist. What sets it apart is the addition of leather and pink pepper, creating a truly distinctive scent. It's really nice, but I'm still undecided about making a purchase.

Stumbled upon this beauty on my annual neroli search and it definitely stands out from the rest. It leans masculine and quickly dries down to a leather note that would've been perfect for me if I wasn't so set on finding another citrusy white floral. So good but at a wrong time, my new metaphor for a summer fling.

Beautiful fragrance. I find it very similar to Reflection Man but without orris root. Can barely feel any leather in there, for me it is just a beautiful and elegant neroli/orange blossom scent with a touch of cardamom on top. Update: in the dry down delicate leather note showed up. Drydown itself is very pleasant

This is just a perfect leather summer fragrance, which I didn't even think was possible to think of. Were I'm from it is very hot and humid most of the year so this is just perfect! I get that the name is a bit misleading but I'm obsessed and I think people should definitely give it a chance if you like leather.

This is a great fragrance that gives a classic clean soapy neroli with a leather twist, which suit daytime professional/office settings very easily. The leather scent complements the clean sharp neroli and green petitgrain. Lasted me 8-12 hours with 3 sprays. My favourite from the house of Maison Crivelli.

It is one of the most balanced masculine all-season perfumes made with Creed Aventus. It seems strange to me that people somehow did not like it, because I would call it mass appealing. It makes me feel very safe. It is a completely masculine scent and unique, LOVE it.

This immediately made me think of Fahrenheit. It gives me the same old sweaty saddle vibe with less smoke and more citrus spice. I totally love it.

Heaven in a bottle... The review below mine nailed it! Adventure in a bottle. This stuff is addictive so be careful! Lasts all day.

Love it! Perfectly unisex. With it would have been stronger..

This is nice, it's a fresh leather, essentially leather and neroli. The leather in this reminds me a lot of gucci guilty absolute but toned down a little and maybe a little more wearable. At dry down (after about 2 hours) it is basically 85% gucci guilty absolute once the neroli becomes sort of background noise. I like this scent profile the only issue for me is the projection is really weak. I'm not the type that likes projection bombs and want a whole room to notice me, but the projection of this is really understated. Longevity is also a bit underwhelming, as I get around 5-6 hours. I haven't spent a lot of time with this fragrance so maybe with other wears that projection will increase. Edit: the longevity is better than I thought but as a skin scent.
