NILUFER Extrait De Parfum

REVISITED AGAIN: As I have lived with Nilufer for the last few days in a row, it has grown on me; I've come to love this almondy fragrance of great performance. REVISITED: Upon testing weeks later I find the almond is more apparent! Proving once again that fragrances deserve a second chance. * * * Nilufer extrait de parfum was launched in 2021. Upon first sniff comes wonderful almond, quickly replaced by greens and lavender to create a masculine-leaning fougère. Then come hazelnut and heliotrope as a welcome relief. The fresh and nutty notes provide an interesting contrast, but I long for that warm almond sensed in the opening.✿ Scent family: Amber Fougère Longevity on me: super long-lasting

Very nutty and gourmand fougere that sets itself above the rest. If you want a delicious, high quality and unique take on a fougere, that I personally haven't seen since D&S Durga Burning Barbershop; and Beau du Jour, Fougere d'Argent or Fougere Platine from Tom Ford, then get this fragrance immediately. Most fougeres that I've preferred, fill me with confidence for the day and make me feel like a high exec businessman. This is the only one so far that I want to wear on date night or potentially in a swank lounge. I owe my knowledge of this one to Sabastian, the Perfume Guy. Impressive.

Mmmmmm so underrated, gorgeous perfume. Nutty, sweet, lavender and vanilla. Definitely full bottle worthy.

I’ve been on the lookout for a masculine leaning nutty fragrance and this is the first that’s been a love at first sniff. This is a softly spiced, sweet nutty fougere, to my nose. It gives a wearing experience similar to Naxos, replacing candied nuts for honeyed tobacco, but maintaining the warm glow and gentle accents of lavender and citrus with just a dusting of cinnamon. The blending here is just as accomplished at a fraction of the price. This is not a challenging fragrance and so also quite versatile. Very happy to have found this hidden gem.

You need to love lavender (I don’t). Leans too masculine and lavender for me. Nutty lavender vanilla, well done. If I liked lavender I would probably love it. I’m going to give my decant to my brother.
