Nenufar

A transparent floral-green blue water lily bouquet, with the pungent aroma of nutmeg rounded by light powdery notes with angelica and almond - I finally found the perfume which smell intensely personal, it's like it was made for me! "Nenufar" ohhh so gorgeous.. yes, love at first smell! I am very pleased by this sacred scent: so clean, pure, innocent!

Very hard to describe but absolutely STUNNING and unique! Nothing like other lotus scents out there. Very different. Best one of all the samples I tried. Even got a full bottle. I never got compliments on it so I guess this was a "for me" type of scent. The quality was AMAZING! Really wished they still made perfumes.

Nenufar is such an amazing perfume. Extremly feminine and sensual, the scent of the Goddess!!! Finally this perfume is available in USA at www.aquadeluna.com. You can even order a sample before you buy it. I just love it !!!

If you have never smelled Nenufar, let me tell you, this perfume is the most divine aquatic I've ever encountered--and I do mean divine in a Pharaoh kind of way. Because of Anne Baxter's portrayal of Neferteri in The Ten Commandments, I always thought that ancient Egyptian nobility scented themselves with sandalwood and myrrh. If I had to guess floral notes, I would imagine they would use rose, iris, jasmine. But if Cleopatra were to choose an aquatic perfume when frolicking in the water among the lily pads on a scorching hot day, I have no doubt it would be Nenufar. Nenufar takes "aquatic" to a whole different level (and by the way, I am grateful for the total lack of citrus fruits, which seem to have become synonymous with "aquatics" in this modern era). Upon first spritz I immediately smell a surprising yet welcomed dose of nutmeg, which lends an incense-like smokiness to an otherwise clear and watery fragrance. It's as though someone drew a bucket of fresh water from the Nile and infused it with nutmeg, then blended it with a fine attar of lotus blossoms. The almondine base does a nice job of rounding out the entire composition, providing substance. Nenufar is a sweet and warm aquatic, which seems strange, but IT WORKS. I am not much of an aquatic fan, but I'll make an exception for Nenufar. Sadly, Nenufar is rather fleeting, but while I might feel annoyed having to spray another perfume on every 3-4 hours, I would take pleasure in re-applying this one.

I did not expect to like this as much as I do. I thought Pyxis would be my favorite, but I prefer this one. I hardly ever use it, but I like it. Its flowery and aquatic and I don ́t like aquatics. But this reminds me of something I smelled in my childhood and it has a calming effect on me. It also reminds me of the Christmas when I got it from my husband. Soft and nice and long lasting. But I only use it like twice a year. To emotionally attached to it to get rid of it though.
