Naias

This is spectacular... It's simple and unpretentious, as Calvofe says, but with an exquisite aromatic quality. For my taste, it's totally unisex. On my skin, what develops is an exquisite violet, very natural, with soft fruity touches. I have to say that I first tried it on paper and it didn't catch my attention, but on skin the result is... wow! It doesn't have a great development, but the scent is a very pleasant powdery floral, perfect for daytime use in spring or summer and as a work scent. It's fun and elegant at the same time, so I think it's perfect for any daytime event and for any age group. Wonderful.

I believe it's the violets, apples, pear, and osmanthus blend that causes the animalic note at first and soften through time. Roses, jasmines, and sandalwoods are also there but blended well in away that causes a support to that animalic top note. It's not stinky animalic, or even musky, it's just that slightly harsh naughty animalic that could cause something sensual and captivating or maybe luring someone who's around. I can't define wither if it's disturbing or just perfectly silaged for one time test, it just needs more tests to define it's potential.

This is stunning. First thought was..damn..I need a full bottle of this! That was my first spray of Naias. Im not a huge violet fan by any stretch, so to have won me over..that says volumes. It smells a little vintage but massive in personality and freshness. Violet, osmanthus, a tinge of apple and the rose and iris keeping things lush and feminine. This is a deconstructed violet and thanks to the ionones, user results will vary if they block certain receptors in the nose.Drydown a powder amber. Why isnt this getting more press?! Its fantastic!!!!

Naias opens up with a civet note and I thought " fruity floral??" BUT, it develops into a very unusual fruity floral. The violet is tame here, dusty but quiet, just enough to take the tartness edge off the fruit and the civet/amber remain throughout for me albeit subdued compared to the initial first blast. It reminds me of a lighter zoologist Civet but with more fruit going on, very unique and wearable but not a summer time scent for me, I have a bottle and will use it but it's not a must have for me so probably won't replace it when its gone, it's certainly worth testing and at the price for 30mls I would advise that you do rather than blind buying.

Tropical dessert; some sort of fluffy sweet pear cake. A whiff of suntan lotion every now and then. The amber lurks about; comes and goes, a bit strong sometimes. Lovely tropical white florals as a consistent linear background to it all. Faint green notes very far back in the composition but still noticeable. Has some powdery vintage elements as well but overall is clearly a modern scent. It's not to my tastes personally (I have a very low tolerance for fruit and amber) but it's interesting, genuinely fun/playful, and very well done. I'm glad someone suggested I try it. *People are talking about animalic notes but fwiw I personally don't get any of those. Just amber.
