Nefer

When a mad genius of the weird and wonderful goes all-out for "noble dignity" - and it works like an ancient charm. By Prin's standards this is almost conventional - a spice-inflected amber from a recognisable sort of genre, rather than some of his more crazed palette-busting collages. As a scent painter, he has a tendency to throw together amazing but dizzyingly compendious smells of everything, everywhere, all at once. This one is quieter than many of his more bombastic compositions, and closer to mainstream than almost any other I can think of. But it is still, recognisably, him - and still fantastic. Gorgeously warm and desert-y, with a truly beautiful cinnamon note that's genuinely spicy rather than just sweet and Christmassy. But it still has enough spice and sting to add intelligence, depth and interest. Truly regal, as well as beautiful. Although it kind of stalks around the territory of more normie "ancient Egyptian luxe"-themed things (Zoologist Camel, Fumee Arabie etc) with the sweetness of dried fruits and benzoin well to the fore, and there's nothing here to really shock or startle (unless you are nervy about cypriol) - it's just so much MORE than they are, or could dream of being. The dry spices and oud give it a darker, almost medicinal, bite and undertow which make it properly grown-up stuff. Its nuance and complexity still leave those distant cousins in the dust ... much as Cleopatra herself did to HER cousins, and her even nearer relations, now I think about it. Lasts for hours and hours, though the only thing less than royal about it is that it doesn't seek to dominate all around you; its projection's pretty discreet after a few hours, but the steady deepening of its dusty-woody-spicy drydown means you can hoard all the golden treasure for yourself. True thoroughbreds don't need to scream or shout and this one is of a properly regal bloodline. And amazingly enough, you too may feel like a queen of antiquity just by applying the elixir. Anoint thyself, rise, and rule!

Nefer Prissana Parfum (Store test, Rebellion) I was a bit nervous.. when I am thinking where should I be heading next after acquisition of few additional Guerlain fragrances from my wishlist. I am not sure.. will my Journey end there in upcoming May. Just to think of it.. I feel uncomfortable already... I based in Thailand so I visit Rebellion time to time. I used Fragantica Finder to find some new scent. Nefer show up once. I just have a chance now. I am so happy now I found another 3 scent. From the house. Nefer calls my name in a heartbeat. Warm, Resinous, Warm Incense. On my skin Nefer have strong rosy tint. And top of all, Nefer is airy. It is absolute interpretation of beauty of how Ancient Beautiful Egyptian Woman smell like. I recall another fragrance Sahara Noir; is kind of similar but don’t wanna compare. They are just difference league. 10/10

Prin! The rockstar you are. Spicy herbal amber overload. On my skin the sweetness respectfully bows out after the first 30 minutes, and the coniferous, peppery, floral amber splendor fills in. Just so BEAUTIFUL. This is a big scent for big personalities. It’s classy, complex, enveloping, spicy. 🌶️ The herbs and flowers go a bit syrupy after a while. I feel like I switch between smelling like a burning spice shop, and some rare freshly-brewed iced herbal tea. Super cool and very different.

If Anatolia Anatolia has been a KING to my heart from this house, whilst Saringkarn is a princess. Nefer, then couldn't be anything less than A QUEEN. This juice is one of the most amazing I have put my nose on. Full bottle worthy. (Am even considering buying the second and third bottles to stock up, yeah, I am that in love with it!)

Beautiful ginger incense. Full Bottle Worthy.
