Nirmala Limited Edition

This is lovely... Tried it and totally failed in love with it, purchased next day full bottle. It is fresh, yet sweet, intense, but not overwhelming, elegant and different, easy to wear to office or anywhere you want, can be the signature scent, UNIQUE... I tried modern EDT and this limited EDP on each side of the same blotter; EDT faded quickly, EDP still there since 3 days and still goes strong! Excellent longevity, even on my skin, when usually perfumes does not last good on me.... What is the most amazing about this scent is that even the formula was created in 50s there is no old fashioned filling about it, it smells quiet modern! Some people say here that it smells like the Angel, I agree, yes after smelling it there is some similarity with it. When I tried it first, I thought that it smells like good thick, white liquid shampoo and then in few minuted it was very similar to Lancome Hypnose, every one who wear it knows this sweet clean scent mixed with vanilla,Hypnose has strong passion flower note, when in Nirmala it is passion fruit, also in both there is vanilla and jasmine... Nirmala is less sweet and stronger. Actually if you want to blind buy it imagine that it smells like Angel minus patchouli mixed with Hypnose. I love both and love the Nirmala. I truly believe that Lancome was inspired by Molinards Nirmala to create it's famous Hypnose.

This lady has finally found her holy grail. What an amazing scent, which BTW predates Angel by decades. Here we have a hidden gem,and I almost hesitate to write this review for fear my precious secret will be out. Gorgeous sweet(but not candy-sweet), fresh and clean, but sophisticated and sexy all at the same time. Yes, it is very similar to the well known Thierry Mugler perfume but so much more wearable. Nirmala is the "Angel" you could wear in the summer, its the "Angel" you could wear in close quarters....and the price is unbeatable. I applied the EDT this am in anticipation of a difficult day at work, and thank Goodness because it was tough. My quiet perfume friend was with me all day,in pleasant little puffs, putting me at ease and not overpowering anyone at meetings in small rooms. For the price, its a must try. Longevity is also excellent, it is 10 hours later and I can still smell it-and I usually smell nothing after 4 hours. Highest recommendation, a perfect 10.

I have an old review on the original Nirmala listing. The limited edition bottle is a perfume vs. an eau de toilette. I had the original for awhile and my daughter HATES IT! So, reluctantly, I either traded it or sold it..can't remember...but I couldn't stop thinking about it. This parfum is intoxicating!!! It is hard to imagine how these elements come together to make this melodious odor but I can say there is nothing like it. A lot has been made about a similarity to Angel by TM. It's not true. What is true more than likely if you like Angel, this is your style. If you hate it, best stay away. Nirmala doesn't have that sharp patchouli bite. I love it!

I'm blown away by how sweet and true the passion fruit in Nirmala is. The fruits here are sparkling with juice, just the thing for a warm summery day. I can't believe this has gone overlooked in my collection so long. I don't feel it's particularly sour or reminiscent of body odour in the slightest. Far from it, this is all flirty sweetness.

this is one of my favorite perfumes to wear in the spring and summer. i have been through several bottles in my lifetime. it is fresh, long-lasting, and every time i wear it both men and women comment on how delicious is smells. to me, this is like a fruity more youthful "angel", but not in an immature way, it's still sensual and super sexy.
