Baklava Royale

This was love at first sniff! It is such a "pretty girl fragrance". It isn't as oberly gourmand as I thought it would be (although I would have loved that too!)... the orange blossom plays a nice role in making this super wearable. The composition is well-done and smell very high quality. It smells more expensive. It is nutty and sweet and all the things but more than that - it has that floral touch that really elevates this perfume too. Very impressed. First Navitus that I loved at first sniff (second now being Lost In A Dream), where other Navitus had to grow into loves but now I wouldn't be without them in my collection! (talking about you Ambrosia Imperiale, Amorous Intense, and Chocolate Queen!!)... The only issue I am having is - I am not sure that the performance is the best. I wish it would last longer and be more noticeable for longer. It isn't too light, but it does seem to fizzle out quickly. The scent & blend is very high quality, but is it actually HIGH QUALITY?? I am not sold on that part because of the longevity - still testing! And also hoping that with time it will only get better like I feel Chocolate Queen has gotten better with time too. Just want to note that the projection could use improvement but is better than Mahni Cassonade (which gave me ZERO scent bubble or silage).... Overall - no regrets! It's gorgeous and can be worn anywhere, any time of year.

My FAVOURITE Navitus fragrance. I had high hopes for Baklava Royale and it definitely didn’t disappoint😍 I literally can’t stop sniffing my wrist after I sprayed it. It’s sweet but not sickeningly sweet, it has the perfect amount of sweetness. It smells like a perfumey version of Baklava. If you smelt it without knowing what it was, you wouldn’t know that it’s Baklava, but you would think it’s a delicious and amazing floral gourmand smell! So it doesn’t have that buttery pastry aspect of baklava, but it has the nuts and the honey and the gorgeous orange blossom syrup. It smells sooo beautiful and elegant and sweet and gourmand all at the same time. The orange blossom and bergamot keep it from getting cloying and give it a lovely perfumey vibe. I also get alot of vanilla which I’m loving. So imagine a floral nutty gourmand with some honey and vanilla🍯💛🍦 Also, this doesn’t smell like cheirosa or girl of now to me. Yes, both are nutty florals but completely different. Gabby did an amazing job with this one it’s just perfect 10/10. I LOVE chocolate queen but this might be even better! Ps. Trust me this is not basic or boring as some of the reviews are saying, atleast to me personally this is SO special and delicious and gorgeous.

Received my bottle yesterday and fell in love on first freezing spritz. I wore it to work and... it was time consuming. One of my coworkers hassled me all morning about sending the link to the perfume, others hovered like vultures trying to figure out who smelled so good, which means the sillage must be pretty decent. Men complimented "you smell good." It's pretty feminine to me. I don't see a man wearing this. It holds up well in the freezing weather. I'd be hard-pressed to find a pistachio- almond (or any creamy nut)- vanilla- tonka- honey perfume I don't absolutely love. The pistachio, tonka and honey are the most pronounced and long lasting. About 4-6 hours on skin, longer on clothes. I sprayed it on the inside of my coat last night. I expect it to be even better in a few weeks time. When it comes to gourmands, Navitus x Youtubers understand the assignment. Overall, a yes for me!

This fragrance is so beautiful. I love that it is not sickly sweet. The smell took me back to when I worked at this Italian bakery in my early twenties, where I would serve up freshly made Baklava frequently. I wouldn't say that this fragrance smells exactly like actual baklava, but certain notes peek through that definitely played into my baklava memories, like the honey, pistachios (just a touch), and almonds The only problem I had with Baklava Royale was that it stayed close to my skin and did not last long at all- about 2 hours at the most. That was very disappointing, but it's a delicious scent.

I love this perfume so much. Initially I got a decant and thought it was unremarkable on paper strip, but I tested it on my skin and it was so different. It smells like a hug, I can't explain, the scent is just so warm and inviting. It's gourmand without being too food-like, sweet but not overpowering. It doesn't seem to last very long on skin but I can still smell it on a scarf I wore a month ago. Or maybe I just become noseblind to it I don't know. It's just a shame it's quite hard to get in the UK as there doesn't seem to be an official stockist, and it's rather expensive in my opinion.
