Naki

This perfume is so good. As others have mentioned, it opens quite strongly. Citric and floral notes dominate. One could say it leans feminine, but as I man I feel like I could rock this. Despite how strong and sharp the opening and top notes are, I didn't find them synthetic. It reminded me of opening a bottle of citrus essential oils, strong but natural. The dry down is incredible, as the sharp notes simmer down significantly and you are left with a mildly aquatic floral that smells natural, bright, and full of life. It reminded me a lot of dragonfly, which I adore but would not wear because I found that one a bit too feminine on me. I think Naki strips down a little bit of the busyness of Dragonfly in the dry down. Performance was extremely good for a freshie. Sprayed on at 8 AM and could smell wafts from my skin until 6 PM or so. I've tried Amoral, Naki, Kama, Masar, and Vitias from the sample set so far and this is by far my favorite.

I could see myself committing to a full bottle of this... It's been like meeting an old friend that I haven't seen in years! A warm hug and a conversation while walking by the sea, barefoot. That's how friendly this is. Edit: Although I like it, on my skin it turned aci/rancid in the dry down (after 2 hours approximately). Not a blind buy, test on skin not just paper. It really changed in an unexpected way. The kind of perfume I would have bought by sniffing the bottle!

I've tasted this smell before... Ah yes, the reasonable priced hotel with a decent continental breakfast with a juice dispenser. My eyes wander between classics such as orange juice, but today I'm feeling something different. Passionfruit, Orange, Guava juice commonly known as POG juice. The juice feels watery, but for some reason is syruppy sweet. The discrepancy between texture and taste is discombobulating. However, you just need a sugar rush to attend to your corporate meeting so ignore the juice and check out. It's a ripe, sweet juicy scent with slight florals to add freshness. It's a balanced sweet fun scent for warmer days. It nice, but there are better options with similar scent profiles on the market. I have a hard time finding a purchase worthy scent from this house.

Tried this from the Pernoire discovery set. Naki is a pleasant tropical-fruity scent with soft florals and a clean musky base, all wrapped in a noticeable powdery veil. It reminds me of other fragrances in the same genre, but what really surprised me is how long it lasts — amazing performance for such a fresh and powdery composition (7–12h easily). Still, at this price point, I expected something more distinctive. I’ll enjoy my sample, but won’t be buying a full bottle.

First impressions from my sample: I do not like passion fruit, peach or green notes. And yet, here I am blown away by Naki. I sprayed it on the back of my hand and immediately got a super fresh fruit vibe with greenness from the fig leaf. For once, the greenness didn't smell like grass to me! The drydown gets super creamy with the sandalwood and a hint of the vanilla. This is gonna be such a vibe for spring/summer, I can already tell!
