Crème de Clementine

When I first tried Crème de Clémentine over a year ago, I was honestly blown away. I couldn't believe how photorealistic the creamy clementine accord was. It smelled exactly like a dreamy orange creamsicle or a bowl of freshly churned clementine sorbet - bright, juicy citrus wrapped in the fluffiest, creamiest vanilla. As a gourmand lover, I was incredibly impressed by how well Nest captured that scent. Ironically, despite loving the smell, I didn't see it as something I wanted to wear. To me, it smelled so much like creamy orange dessert that I appreciated it more as a fragrance to admire than one I wanted to smell like myself. Fast forward about a year, and I revisited my travel spray. Whether the fragrance matured, macerated, or simply my nose and preferences evolved, I fell completely in love with it. It now feels incredibly comforting. I ended up purchasing a full bottle because I found myself wanting to wear it constantly. What I appreciate most is how beautifully rounded this fragrance is. There are no harsh citrus edges whatsoever. The creamy vanilla softens the clementine perfectly, creating a smooth, airy scent cloud that feels cozy rather than sugary. The citrus isn't sharp or sparkling, it's soft, creamy, and comforting. Although many people will probably think of this as a summer fragrance, I actually think it works year round. The creamy vanilla makes it cozy enough for cooler weather, and the clementine reminds me of fall. It brings to mind the smell of fresh clementines and the oranges I use in simmer pots during autumn, so it has a nostalgic warmth that I wasn't expecting. Performance has also impressed me. On my skin I get moderate longevity and projection (not a beast by any means) but on clothing it's fantastic. I often wear it as a bedtime fragrance and can still smell it on my shirt the next morning. This ended up being one of the biggest surprise loves in my collection, and oh I love her so!

Nest fragrances are not always my favourites, but this one, Creme de Clementine is really good! It’s basically what’s advertised in the title, a creamy vanilla, sweet, juicy, bursting with freshness clementine scent. If you like clementines and vanilla, in my opinion this is a safe blind buy. Just don’t expect massive sillage or longevity, expect something in the moderate performance, but smelling truthful to the notes listed. For spring and summer, Creme de Clementine is perfect. It’s sweet and creamy, light and airy, fruity and vanillic and I’d say very mass appealing for citrusy lovers. I am testing it from a sample currently, but I will upgrade to a travel size for my upcoming summer trips because it’s the kind of scent that pairs beautifully with the Mediterranean climate. For me, Creme de Clementine it’s a love! Would recommend over other classic citrusy perfumes because how photorealistic it smells!

This is my favorite scent of Spring/Summer 😩 I went to ULTA for the Balinese Coconut (which is also fabulous!) and I left with this!! At first there is this crazy bright, burst of citrus from the clementine, then you smell the crème start to come through turning your skin into a delicious Orange Creamsicle! My boyfriend smelled it once and picked it up for me 😂😂 This scent is magnificent! However, it only projects moderately for a short period, then quickly becomes a skin sent that doesn’t last long on its own, at least for me. At first I was really bummed out because I LOVE this scent. But a light bulb flickered and I realized this is a perfect spring/summer layering scent!! I do not have a big collection, but I do own Alien Goddess Intense and these two scents pair AMAZINGLY together. Honestly I put down a good base of Goddess and then place the Crème de Clementine on top 🖤💜

Im STUNNED this perfume is so good! It brings back such nostalgia vibes. I wont beat a dead horse here, but yes, this is purely & perfectly the most well done creamsicle scent. I saw a review below stating the citrus doesnt last and I say BS to that!! This citrus is CRAZY strong, two sprays and Im on hour 6 and its projecting like crazy. Its creamy, dreamy and a necessity in your collection if creamsicle or citrus is your vibe!! Nest killed it with this release. My only complaint is I wish they released this in the spring/summer instead of fall. I hope this becomes a top seller for them, because it deserves to! 10/10 and Im a mostly niche girly 😆 I havent loved a designer fragrance like this in some time. FB worthy. Edit: 12 hrs later and I still smell it on my wrists - CRAZY strong!

I struggle to wear a lot of citrus fragrances because they can become too astringent on my skin. I almost didn’t try this one for that reason. I’m so happy I ended up testing it at Sephora today because this is everything I could hope for in a citrus scent. The clementine is very realistic and lasts throughout the dry down; however, it’s not sharp because the vanilla rounds it out with a sweet creaminess that truly is reminiscent of an orange creamsicle. It’s just sweet enough where it doesn’t become cloying. Because the fresh, brightness of the clementine lasts, I think this would be great for the summer season, but I’d reach for it year round. This is a love for me and will layer well with a lot of other fragrances.

I just sprayed a butt load of this on my skin in Sephora. Here's my experience. The opening smells like an orange creamsicle! It is delightful and instantly put a smile on my face, although the orange creamsicle scent disappeared quickly OR I went nose blind (sad face). The dry-down is a light wood scent. I want it! And, I am going in knowing I will need to use every trick in my book to make it last as long as possible. I will also try my darnedest to get it at a deep discount, because the scent does not seem to last on my skin which makes the price point too high for no longevity. To my nose, this is the breakdown: Top/Middle: Orange creamsicle (clementine zest, creamy vanilla) Dry-down: Light wood (blond wood)

I mean, there’s no incredible complexity to tease out of this fragrance and everyone else has already summed it up: orange creamsicle. I’m really not a big vanilla or gourmand fan, but I do love citruses, and this is a winner for me. Smells like an orange creamsicle has melted in the sun and run down your skin, really warm and delicious. On my skin I get a faint cedar note on the dry down that I really like. Summer is the obvious season for this fragrance, but I think it would also transition nicely into fall with the warmth it has. Honestly, orange works so well for winter, too—if you layer this with something woody/spicy, it could absolutely read as winter.

First fragrance that ive ever had the need to leave a review on. Crème de Clementine is simple but absolutely DEVINE!! The clementine is sweet but citrusy as youd expect, like freshly squeezed oj, and the vanilla adds this cozy layer to it just like an orange creamsicle!! I find with nest the fragrances longivitg on me are 50/50 and i was afraid with this one being a citrus that it would disappear quickly but that is not the case, for me it doesnt evolve much from the initial spray, quite a linear fragrance which makes me really happy!! This fragrance is a must for the gourmond girlies who are looking to branch out to something citrusy but still cozy!

She's not nearly as creamy and sugary as I expected, having a creamsicle in mind. But that being said, I loooooooove this scent! To me, it's almost pure clementine, with a musky vanilla drydown. There's some sweetness, maybe a hint of creaminess, but I definitely wouldn't call this one milky, sugary, gourmand, or lactionic. This scent is so bright, so playful, so pretty. A citrus girly's dream. Considering how quickly citrus normally fades, this performance is not bad at all! I get a solid 4-5 hours of wear on the skin, and even more on clothes. Great for every day, even in the heat, since it's quite fresh and not cloying at all. Love.

Here's what I get Opening (10-15 minutes): Orange creamsicle. Mouthwatering, pillowy, creamy Mid (5-10 minutes): Juicy orange zest. Bright, fresh, lightly sweet End (the last 4-6 hours): Orange pez. Light, soft, a hint powdery or dusty...like how a pez is when you bite into it. The orange and vanilla are more blended so you don't get them each so distinctly like in the orange creamsicle opening, or just one like in the fresh orange mid It's really nice and isn't cloying! (I sprayed a lot on at the store to make sure I got a good idea of how it would wear on me) It's fun and playful and bright and sweet and soft and cute!

Soooo so so good. I sprayed this on my arms in Sephora at the beginning of my shopping day and for the next 4 hours of shopping I could smell it in every fitting room I went in. I went back the next day and bought a bottle. It smells very nostalgic, creamy with a touch of citrus. I usually don't like citrus in my fragrances or cleaning products but this isn't harsh like a lemon cleaner. It's orange peel that's well rounded with sweet vanilla. I've been layering it with cyklar vanilla verve perfume oil and glossier doux as a entry to fall layering routine and it mixes amazingly.

As the number one endorser of all things orange vanilla flavored, this perfume hits the nail straight on the head. As is with most Nest perfumes, the scent of this is identical to the namesake. It smells like summer is high in the sky, the sun is beaming down on you, and in your hand is an orange cream popsicle, just melting into your hands and encasing your body in the brilliant faux vanilla and stark orange scent. Absolutely beautiful and jovial. The wear power of it isn't miraculous, but I adore pairing it with other perfumes to kind of coax out the longevity.

I think for what this is which is a simple scent, it delivers. The opening is an intense clementine which although is quite sweet it has a nice sharpness to it still, almost like a slightly bitterness of an orange peel and the creamy element is present from the opening which may be giving the orange creamsicle everyone is talking about. It dries down and changes quite quickly to the vanilla coming through as the more present note but for me the citrus element definitely remains. It’s a fun perfume and I like it.

Yet another than a beautiful fragrance that lasts for maybe 15 seconds before disappearing entirely. I adore this scent. It is a photorealistic milky orange creamsicle with orange zest. It's so beautiful, light, and sweet. Perfect for spring/summer... But it doesn't last on skin or clothes. Extremely disappointing, but I'm sure this would layer beautifully with other scents. Unfortunate they don't have a perfume oil of this, I'm sure it'd layer and last longer. Ughhh whatever.

This is so delicious! The most realistic orange creamsicle scent 🍊🍦🧡. I know some people were confused as to why this was released so late into the summer, however I think this would be beautiful in the colder months layered with different fragrances. I actually layered this with the new Rare Beauty fragrance and got the most yummy spiced orange scent. I only bought the travel size, but I will definitely purchase a full sized bottle in the future!

why is nobody talking about this !? it's INSANE !!! mouth - watering ripe juicy clementines and creamy vanilla ice cream ... trust me , layer this with lolitaland and you will smell edible . sprayed this on my boss at work and we both finished our shift smelling like orange creamsicle lollies . feel like you could wear this in the colder months , too , depending on what you layer it with !

There are these orange sticks from Trader Joe’s, the ones with that soft jellied orange center dipped in milk chocolate. The second you open the bag, it’s just this aggressive waft of sweet, candied clementine straight to the face. This smells exactly like that. Just louder. I literally went “mmm” out loud while was smelling it in the store. Fully involuntary. Like some sort of pervert.

Creme de Clementine is so pretty and creamy. The initial spray is tangy citrus, the drydown is milky vanilla with the orange undertone. Imo it's reminiscent of BBW Orange Vanilla Twist, but elevated. My only complaint is the projection could be better. This is what I'd hoped 7 Virtues Clementine Dream would have been, but was disappointed with that take on clementine and vanilla.

This surprised me; I was expecting straight up creamsicle, and there is a bit of that, but it's more clean & fresh than that. There's almost subtle hint of balsa wood too like the popsicle stick. It's a soft, sweet, fresh skin scent, but very long lasting. I was still getting a faint hint of it the next morning! Very charming & wearable and a new favorite!

This is very much just a sweet, creamy orange. I love that you get exactly what's advertised. It isn't long lasting, as expected with the citrus being basically the only note, but when it is there I do get complements on it. It isn't a go-to scent for me, it is too fun and strong for my day to day, but I love using it when the occasion rises.
