Sculpture Parfum

I've owned Sculpture Parfum for about a month and a half now, it is definitely a wonderful and unique fragrance, but I wouldn't say it is exactly mass appealing or mainstream, it has a fair amount of uniqueness, I enjoy it a fair amount but I feel like this is not a safe blind buy, I'd recommend trying/sampling before buying, in my case it was an acquired taste, took me a while to start liking it because of the heavy florals in the opening, they're quite sharp, but after a while they soften up and become enjoyable, the opening is a pretty pleasant mix of florals and citruses and dries down to a slightly sweet woody base, in it's later stages it becomes a surprisingly interesting mix of vanilla and tonka bean, sweet and soft now, catch this, I bought Xerjoff Naxos quite a while after getting Sculpture Parfum, and surprisingly enough I felt like, to my nose, they have a lot of similarities, when I first smelled Naxos, I immediately thought of Sculpture Parfum, they both have this floral citrusy and slightly sweet opening, and in their base they both have this sweet soft vanillic scent, I found that interesting, so I believe that Sculpture Parfum could be used as a much cheaper substitute to Naxos, although not entirely identical, they have many similarities. Scent: 9/10 (Takes time to get used to and enjoy and doesn't cater to most people, is more restricted to mature men and more suitable for Fall, Winter and the cooler Summer days.) Longevity: 8/10 (Solid longevity, lasts most of the work day for me (I'd say about 6-7 hours), although for most of it's lifespan it's a skin scent due to it being a parfum concentration) Performance: 6.5/10 (Might be only on my skin, but it doesn't project that much off my skin and becomes a pretty soft skin scent after 2-3 hours, I'd say it's understandable since it is a parfum concentration and is mainly a floral and citrusy fragrance) Overall: 9/10 (Great fragrance, honestly based solely on the scent profile and performance I'd give it like an 8/8.5, but due to it's super affordable price tag (got mine for about 28$ for a tester bottle), it deserves a higher score, it has a pretty unique scent profile and is more mature, quite versatile and suitable for most occasions, elegant, sweet, and not overly masculine while still being gentlemanly, is an acquired taste but very refined)

I think this is excellent. Picked it up for €35 including delivery from Makeup.ie but was last bottle. I think this is my new love. I like white florals and Orange Blossom in particular and it seems to be all the rage at the moment so I am in luck. I really like fragrances like Gucci Guilty Love Edition and Elixir for their Orange Blossom Blast. I also recently got a 4ml free sample of the women's perfume Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc Blanc, and I ended up buying my sister a gift of it but that is a banger too (Orange Blossom Musc basically and fairly unisex). Anyway back to Sculpture Parfum, great cheap fragrance that holds its own or might even outshine the above mentioned fragrances. This is a beefed up version of the EDT, they just increased the concentrations to make it longer lasting. Bond No 9 copied the EDT and sell it for a tidy profit. This is the OG for the 90's just enhanced. This is top drawer. Think White Florals, Citruses, beefed up with ambery tonka to give it some lasting power. Easy get a full days wear out of it. Got complimented on this today and it was my first time wearing it. I am telling you here and now buy a bottle. This is an absolute gem in my eyes

Same scent as the original for sure. Sculpture is such a great and timeless summer fragrance. I have gone through at least 3 bottles of it. The issue was always the performance in hot and sunny weather, it just seemed to die out on skin in very little time. It performed better in cooler and damp wheather, could hang on for maybe 7-8 hours. But Sculpture is much more a hot weather scent, and I'd rather wear something else in cooler environments. They fixed the performance somewhat with the Parfum version, but it is still a bit weak when it gets hot and sweaty. Also the original can be found dirt cheap online, I could only find the Parfum on Niko's own home page, and it is a bit pricey. You can get 3 or 4 bottles of the regular instead. Still pleased I purchased the Parfum and will probably reorder it at some time. The bottle is iconic and nice to look at, I prefer the original clear bottle I think. However it is not practical, awkward to hold and spray, you want to use both your hands for that and it tips over easily when you put it down. I can live with that when a bottle looks that nice and the scent is yet not surpassed as perhaps the best summer freshie around.

This is what I would call a textbook fragrance. First off, it's versatile can be worn any pretty much season but I feel this is particularly best for spring. Second this works at almost any maturity. You can be a high schooler or in your 50s and this fragrance will be good for you. This is also a somewhat long lasting scent where I am getting about 6 hours and maybe a 1 ft sillage. So what makes this a textbook fragrance and not a LV Imagination, Xerjoff Naxos, or Creed Aventus is its simplicity. The fragrance accords and even the notes are rather common, but I wouldn't necessarily diss this because that's what makes it so versatile and a mass appealing scent. This to me just isn't a massive head turner. Excluding price as a factor this is 8.5 out of 10, but given that this thing costs less than 30 bucks is what makes a no brainer 10/10. By far the best cheap daily driver that isn't some synthetic dupe that has 1 hour longevity. This does have some similarities to the well known fragrances such as Lafayette Street, Reflection, and Uden, but as mentioned it has good performance and isn't synthetic.

I was a teen in the late 90's when the original edt was released which was at a time when I would have wanted to wear something like this. Yet, somehow I completely missed the boat and only recently discovered the parfum flanker due to some online reviewers wearing it as part of their weekly rotations. What I really love is how versatile it is. I can wear it casually during the day, to the office, or even for a relaxed evening out. I wore it out to the ballpark for an evening game/date with my gf, and by the time I got home it was still on my chest, neck, and shirt. It's not overpowering at all, but it is certainly dense as you would expect from a parfum concentration and it definitely leaves a pleasant trail. The longevity is surprisingly good for a fresh citrus scent– I usually get a solid 8 hours on my skin. If you're looking for a fresh, elegant, and slightly sweet scent that stands out from the typical "blue" fragrances get this one. I was able to pick up the 100ml bottle on Jomashop for around $25 this year, which I think is an amazing value for what you are getting here!

I finally bought it after waiting months, for the price to drop below 30 bucks. And that was a discount on a discount, very temporary. Sculpture Parfum is ravishing but friendly about it. It smells like the OG and is as strong as the OG was 30 years ago. But Parfum does not smell dated so it must be subtle tweaks with the latest molecules. Not particularly masculine in its time, but now many young men wear amber honey spice elixirs so this nectary floral slots right into the zeitgeist. I highly recommend anyone try this parfum. A school marm's note on syntax. OG Sculpture is an iconic fragrance by Michel Almairac, no less, launched in 1995. Allure in 1999. Reflection Man was launched in 2006. So the frequent observation that Sculpture "smells like Reflection" might more accurately be stated as "Reflection smells like Sculpture." Uden was launched in 2009. Credit where credit is due. This new Sculpture Parfum is a flanker of a great 1995 fragrance, Sculpture, that may or may not have inspired many luxury fragrances that came after it.

Wow. Just. Wow. This stuff has no right to be this good for as inexpensive as it is. Less than $30USD for a beefed-up version of the OG that, in many ways, rivals some seriously high-end fragrances. I, too, am a sucker for the Reflection man DNA, and pretty much anything in its ballpark. Could be mistaken as a dead-ringer for Lafayette street. This one is a no-brainer if you like the lighter, white-floral based fragrances that essentially 'float' around you with slightly above average sillage and projection. I had sprayed a couple times on the inside of my arm as I was working around the house. My wife was across the room and paid me a compliment on how I smelled. I know, I know. My spouse. But, she is my biggest fragrance critic. If she reacts positively, its a definite win. I agree that If you are a fan of the OG, but want a better performer, you can't go wrong.

I bought it because I used to have this cult classic, Sculpture EDT, hoping that this one would be better in terms of concentration: Parfum intense. The notes are almost the same as its predecessor, and they smell similar in the air, but this new one is much stronger and longer-lasting. I see it as a fresh, summer, light perfume that is supposed to refresh and uplift the mood. It has very high citrus notes that currently suit me well. The bottle is beautiful, maybe because I really like blue perfumes. The longevity is significantly better; it lingers for hours. I can comfortably say that I can still smell it even after 6-7 hours without any issues. Hats off to the Nikos company. This is something that Chanel should do for Allure Homme, for example, create a Parfum concentration in a darker bottle...

Parfum finally has come down from 90 to 45 Euros. It smells like the OG. I would buy it for 28 euros! Where is everyone finding it at that price? USA? I see Sculpture Mykonos EDP around, the frosted no color bottle, for 30 euros but there's no way to test it. A school marm's note on syntax. OG Sculpture is an iconic fragrance by Michel Almairac, no less, launched in 1995. Reflection Man was launched in 2006. So the frequent observation that Sculpture "smells like Reflection" might more accurately be stated as "Reflection smells like Sculpture." Uden was launched in 2009. Credit where credit is due. This new Sculpture Parfum is a flanker of a great 1995 fragrance, Sculpture, that may or may not have inspired many luxury fragrances that came after it.

I didn't know that this was the original that Bond No.9 copied for Lafayette Street. This smells better than that, in my opinion. I have the Maison Alhambra clone of Lafayette Street, Luxe Street, and this is amazing compared to it. It took almost 6 months for that to not smell like orange Pledge. But this is nice right out of the gate. I could see this being a bit cloying in high heat. But other than that, this stuff is strong, lasting a good 8+ hours, projects well, and leaves a nice sillage for about 2-3 hours. I would be careful with overspraying this. The floral/orange blossom note hits you hard at first, but the drydown is amazing.

I think this is a super underrated clean fragrance. Very unique compared to a lot of fresh fragrances as it is masculine despite all of the interesting floral notes, and it opens with these and some citrus. To me the tonka bean is very prominent in the dry down, though it also has some wood and vanilla. It is incredibly versatile for all ages and situations. You could wear it to the gym, school/work, summer and winter. My only complaint is that I think I go nose blind to it quite quickly or the performance varies. I can't smell it too much after a couple of hours wearing it but others can smell it for longer.

Huge blast of white florals and citrus to begin with, and this was hugely diffusive and I had a massive sillage cloud for a good 4 hours. 7 hours in and it was still going strong, It's dried down to a predominantly musky floral, still very strong with the initial white flower smell, but there is a tonka/vanilla hidden beneath it. Nearly 13 hours after I sprayed Sculpture on me and it is still going very strong as a skin scent. A lot more creamy vanilla & fabric softener now, but incredible performance and smell for such a bargain scent. Final verdict: Impressed to fuck with this £25 gem

This is NOT a summer fragrance. It’s a great fragrance. NOT for summer. In genre of cologne it is a ‘blue’ made for evening wear - which means you can wear it through the day as long as it is NOT summer. The reason it’s a blue is due to the orange blossom and citrus but it sits on a bed of tonka, and personally I get a sweet thick honey. Think of orange blossom infused honey. It’s lovely, rich, and thick. This stuff is very very strong in sillage & longevity whilst being thick and warm thus cannot be worn in summer. But a great fragrance if you like more dense fragrances.

So glad for this release! Sculpture Homme has been a summer go to for years, but I always hated the performance this fixed that making this in my top summer fragrances. The perfumer did a wonderful job beefing up the fragrance as well, the citrus is slightly toned down the musks amped up, the accord it has in common with dreamer has been amplified as well. I sprayed 2 sprays at 5am it's now 6pm and I'm still catching strong whiffs of the parfum. It projects amazing about 6 feet for me, and it smells unique and great. A true summer masterpiece now. 10/10

A wonderful scent. I highly recommend this. Even more so if you live in a hot and humid environment. Clean, bright and fresh. Light and airy with a hint of sweetness. Sculpture Parfum also has a classy edge. It does remind me of the 90s, even though I was still a kid. Something wonderfully nostalgic about it while at the same time staying pretty modern. This is definitely a crowd pleaser, especially if you enjoy white floral. Longevity is above average and sillage is pretty standard.

Not having smelled the Bond No. 9 original before, I can tell you that this is a luxury fragrance sold for dirt cheap. Lovely white florals that dries down to a slightly woody tonka for a chefs kiss. The apple note isn't listed but I swear I can smell it... I absolutely adore this fragrance, but I do have to say that maceration is what makes the diamond polished for this fragrance, so for optimal wear, I'd stick it in your underwear drawer for about a month while you wear it.

Still experimenting with this one, but as for first impressions, it's an instant love. It seems to be almost the exact same as the original but thicker with better performance. In fact, I might actually agree with Ash for once when he says the original is great, but skip it and just grab the parfum. Beautiful orange blossom focused scent that fits right in with the current popularity of similar frags like MYSLF and Lafayette Street but sits at a much better price point.

Blind bought this cheap (30€) so called "Allure-LafayetteSt-Dreamer-Uden" alternative. I get a lot of The Dreamer in it, especially in the opening. It's floral, bright, fresh and smooth. It seems to last quite long (~8h). So if you are interested by this type of fragrance, you should definitely get that one. As for me, I still prefer Allure and Uden. But considering the price.... If anyone has any alternatives, let me know :) 8,5/10

Smells fantastic, almost like a vineyard. Projects strongly and I would wear this on a day trip to the field, picnic, outdoorsy stuff. Too strong for the office possibly but I doubt it'll be offensive. Gotta be honest though I do not like the bottle, vaporizer, or cap. I guess what they save there goes right into the fragrance cause this definitely punches above its price point.

Very beautiful floral clean elegant masculine scent, in the style of amouage reflection or gucci guilty elixir in terms of floral signature scent masculine fragrances, the profile is different though ofc. good longevity too, 7-8 hours on skin, more on clothes, projects for 1.5-2 hours Insane how its possible to buy something like for 30-40 bucks

Definitely not worth the price.. It smells good and sexy.. but isn't projecting well and didn't last long. Original EDT version is better and totally worth the price has better projection and longevity.. if you want notes like this than is worth buying because no one fragrance smell like this.. i wish for the parfume to have better projection..

Reminds me of walking into a Macys or Nordstrom in the 90s or early 2000s. Citrus, florals, tonka. Nice balance of fresh and sweet. A bit deeper than the EDT but definitely lasts longer. Throwback scent but by no means will this have you smelling like an old man. Timeless scent that stands out compared to more popular fragrances today.

Definitely get the Reflection Man comp, but to my nose it might smell even more like Le Male Le Parfum. I’d actually rather wear this than Reflection Man. Le Male Le Parfum is a bit better in my opinion, though. That said, for the price, Sculpture is a no-brainer: buy it, blind buy it, keep buying it—it’s a fantastic cheapie

This is one of the nicest perfumes I have had so far. Opening is so addictive, and the dry down is so warm and good on my skin. If you know how tonka bean smells and you like it, then this perfume is for you. Unfortunately, the performance is too weak; maybe only 3-4 hours maximum, and then it disappears.

Very nice!....You can buy it blindly because it is a fragrance that is difficult not to like and generates many compliments.It has good performance for about 8 hours with moderate sillage.Bond no 9 Lafayette Street and Dunhill Desire Blue is the closest thing to this but not completely.

Elegance. Truly and utterly elegant, graceful, sexy, and so pleasant. This wont offend anyone. Id say it leans just a tad masculine. It lasts on me all day, and smells amazing at every step of development. Sillage isnt massive, but its plenty to be noticed. 9/10 fragrance all around.

Clean, masculine, not offensive, everyday fragrance. I was wearing during all summer and several times during autumn. Noticeable on close distance, however do not expect non stop compliments. I would give 10/10, if it had much better performance and projection.

For people that like sweet sugary scents this may hit the spot. This is so much better than the original which is watered down. Very nostalgic but timeless scent that still works today. Just don't over spray because it can get cloying especially in the heat.

It smells like a classic Nikos bottle, but more intense. I love it—it reminds me of the old version, with a stronger scent. I do wish the projection and sillage were a bit better, but overall, I’d give it 8.5/10. The price feels fair for what you get.

Just bought this fragrance and tried it today. It is a soft floral scent that is reminiscent of Reflection Man. It’s perfect for the office or school. I would give it an 8/10 for scent and a 7/10 for longevity. It’s well worth the price.

This reminds me of thallium (which I love). It's obviously of way better quality and different style but in the same space and realm. I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen anyone make the same reference. But absolutely awesome.

OFFFFF İM BOUTTA CUUUUMM valla çok güzel koku mükemmel sonraki alacağım parfüm bu olacak net imza kokum bile olabilir bu parfüm normal sculptureın biraz daha derin hali gibi bir şey koku 8 performans 6

I love it. Citrus, White Floral with Tonka Bean undertone to give depth and sweetness to otherwise refreshing scent. Could be signature scent, but winter and coldest times might be too weak. Pleasant.

Great cheapy (only 28 dollars) fragrance for all seasons, quality is better than other arabic clone fragrances.have little similarities with amouage reflection man but not clone

It's good for winter. It reminds me of gorgeous 1980s big shoulder power houses. In the winter there is a cool wintergreen tinge. Fun fragrance for skiing in the sun.

Really happy with this parfum concentration. The same amazing Sculpture scent, but well rounded and heavier. 10/10 stuff here. Bravo NIKOS!!

As I love the EDT sculpture, I love this. Original floral and fresh. A must have with a super value for money fragrance. 9/10

Loved the original one, but it didn't last long especially the later batches. Hopefully this formulation will be potent

Just as fresh, clean and beautiful as the original, but with better performance!

This smells like a new car and im all for it

***UPDATE AT BOTTOM*** IF YOU ARE HERE FOR A LAFAYETTE CLONE; (pls read all, don't want to discourage) This is.. good. But if you want Lafayette, you kinda get it, and you kinda don't. Firstly, the scent profile is very, very similar. You could easily mistake this in the air as one or the other. The issue mostly comes down to how they smell on skin, along with the subtle-ish appealing nuances that Sculpture really doesn't bring to the table that you may be missing from Lafayette. In the open, this smells more airy/watery/older and the closer you smell your skin the more you get this odd toilet bowl water smell. Point being, the closer you get, the less pleasant this is. In the air this quality really seems to dissappear so I dont think others will pick up on it. It also becomes less noticeable as it dries down, which is a bonus. As this dries, it smells more and more like Lafayette, but if Lafayette had been on your skin for 8 hours and lost much of its flavor. Lafayette is warmer with a sweetness/amber that helps bind everything together and it's notably more "mass appealing" and modern, though, they both smell good. This may even be a bonus, if you're hoping Lafayette leans a bit more 90s with the florals more pronounced with that signature blend roughness so many fragrances from this era had. Personally, I MUCH prefer Lafayette and I guess unfortunately I'm going to have to buy Milano's clone and see how that goes, and if that's a bust too, Ive gotta get a big boy bottle of Bond. There's just a specific quality Lafayette has that this lacks that makes this unsuitable as a replacement for me. Many say Sculpture parfum IS a worthy replacement, so it's up to each nose. If I remember, I'll come back with an edit after I get Milano's clone. Otherwise, unless you're a picky snob like I am and you want the Lafayette-ish profile, this should be fine 🫡 ***UPDATE*** Im back with a promised update after getting Jo Milano's Wildcard, and its definitely SO much closer to Lafayette, so if you're here looking for a clone or replacement, fork the little extra money and get Wildcard; there's no comparison if you want Lafayette DNA. Sculpture Parfum is still great in its own right and its grown on me more, its even different enough that (as an avid collector) I dont find any redundancy in owning both, but I still prefer the warm, smoother Lafayette signature. Also worth noting that as good of a clone as Wildcard is, it really still cant quite catch those magic nuances the Bond has, but damn does the latter come with a pricetag

This is just a perfect beater fragrance. Clean, citric floral fragrance that just smells plain good. Reminiscent of Reflection Man, especially as it dries down, but much brighter, particularly in the opening. Incredibly versatile, I could easily wear this dressed up or in sweatpants. That being said, there are aspects of this fragrance that do feel cheap. Not the highest level of quality or attention went into the design of the bottle, and the atomizer sprays nice and wide but doesn't seem to pick up a ton of juice. I find I need to spray this twice to get enough for what should be a single spray. It also lasts about 6 hours on my skin and doesn't project much. Fairly average in that department. In short, you get what you pay for as far as peresentation, longevity, and projection are concerned. But if you're willing to look past that (and for $23 I absolutely will), I would absolutely recommend this. This is like the Toyota Corolla of fragrances. Not the flashiest or highest luxury fragrance on the market, but it'll get the job done and you'll be pleasantly surprised to see where it takes you. Blind buy if you enjoy Reflection Man or anything like it.

I think my skin might be malfunctioning. I just received my bottle of Nikos Parfum, and I have let it sit for an hour on both forearms. Hmmm, how to describe it? Not meaning to through the cat amongst the pigeons, but, all I get is...'Brown-Designer'. To my nose it smells for all the world like this is a blend of everything male from the designer houses. *Using the term, 'Brown-Designer' was a reference to what happens when you mix a bunch of different coloured left-over paints - you get brown. Now, brown is not outstanding nor revolting, it's just very middle of the road. So, in short, I like Nikos Parfum, I'm just not in-love. Yet. EDIT 30 Aug 2024; After almost a year sitting on the shelf, in the dark, macerating, I am pleased to say that it has now developed its own personality. The florals + citruses + tonka are really jumping out now. 'Brown' is no more! I now see myself reaching for this on hot [summer] days, but in saying that, it's 34*C / 93*F today here in Australia ...and it's still technically Winter!!! Here in Brisbane we only have 2 seasons, hot, or, hotter!

Nikos Sculpture edt is a total classic, so when they dropped Sculpture Parfum, I was hyped. And guess what? It's pretty much the same deal, just beefed up. You know how the fragrance gurus always say to let the edt age until it turns yellow for better performance? Well, the parfum version skips all that waiting. The edt's bright citrusy vibe gets dialed down a notch, but in return, you get boosted longevity/performance. So, it's like an upgraded edt without the waiting game. It's still that same gorgeous blend of amber and white florals you love. If you're cool with trading a bit of citrus zing and brightness for stronger performance, this is your jam. And hey, keep an eye out for discounts—patience pays off, even in fragrance hunting.

Classic floral DNA that brings back great summertime memories. Imagine being a child on 90s on a family vacations in a hyped Greek island. The cool uncle gets you along in a local bar to use your cuteness as a lure to score a girl. Probably that is the perfume that he is wearing ! Decent longevity, moderate projection amazing scent and good quality. Given its price a 10/10.

Well i was expecting more different things to edt, they don't have big differences between edt and edp. It's deeper, more floral, less soapy, less airy (fresh) and long lasting version. Scentwise i prefer edt but performance is important. They're almost same thing actually.

Don't overspray, this guy is very is strong, specially when you get hit by the flowers in the mid. Not an office fragrance or the most natural smell but still a great offer if you like this style. Great performance cheapy.

This parfume smells like a Mandarin Orange %40 and Jasmine %60. Definitely a unisex scent. In fact, since the jasmine scent is dominant, I think it is a scent closer to women.

Good perfume Masculin Vintage yet modern characteristic

i just want to 2nd everything @tripokaridos said
