Nebula

I like to think I enjoy serious, complex perfumes...but sometimes you just want to smell fruity and feminine, and Nebula gives this. I’ve sampled the Burberry Her range but don’t have them available to test side by side. This does smell like my memory of them...take that for what it’s worth. This is a strawberry-forward fruity musk which is light, bright and easy to wear. It’s pretty synthetic but it lifts my mood and I’m happy to own it. No regrets!

Smelling Burberry Her and Oakcha’s Nebula side by side is impressive but not exactly a match. They aren’t twins, not quite sisters, but maybe cousins... and that’s okay. Nebula hits all the right notes & marks listed, but there is this very ~Herbal Essence shampoo-like~ cloud that encompasses the whole frangrance, that Burberry Her just doesn’t have. For that reason, Nebula comes across more juvenile and really soapy. Nebula is still a very pretty fragrance and the price is a lot more attractive, it’s just not quite a close dupe in my opinion. I can appreciate the effort, and I would still wear this out for casual purposes.

Pretty similar to Burberry Her imo, but there are some slight differences. Nebula is more fruity overall and less heavy on the strawberry specifically and musk. Although it’s less heavy on the musk, it still comes out pretty strong on my skin (musks on me just become overpowering pretty easily I guess). To be honest, I like this more than Her. Her is WAY too musk heavy and just becomes bitter on the dry down for me, but nebula manages to have the fruity/sweet notes stay throughout its duration.

I did a big oakcha haul summer 2024 and I had researched the notes prior alot to find something I liked. I was curious about the one named praised the perfume but nebula caught my eyes with the notes on the website. When I received it I tought that I would maybe not like it that much because alot of people praised the other one. Turns out I absolutely love it! It's so warm and sweet and comforting to me! It kinda reminds me of snow fairy from lush!

Too young to get a good idea of how it's supposed to smell but... It's not too sweet, a tiny bit creamy, more generic than fruity but doesn't remind me of chemicals either so it's ok. Will update in a few months after some time to macerate. Edit: I just don't have the patience to wait. Gifted away to a friend for his wife. I hope they like it. 4/10 Does not wash out of clothing! Ugh, shampoo-sweet, not as nice as I'd hoped. Too synthetic.
