Jardins de Misfah

I discovered Jardins de Misfah by Une Nuit Nomade completely by accident; wandering through a local boutique, randomly picking up bottles to smell for fun. The moment I sprayed this one, I froze. I walked away, came back, walked away again... and kept returning because something in it felt unlike anything I’d ever smelled before, and I own over 500 fragrances. This was truly love at second sniff. An unexpected, almost stubborn love; the kind where you try to walk away, but it keeps calling you back. What struck me immediately was the scent itself; this soft, airy veil of rose petals, touched with a delicate almond-like sweetness, wrapped in a warm, almost sun-kissed date blossom glow. It’s quietly creamy, floral without being overly powdery, sweet without being sugary, and rests on a comforting silky base that feels like warm skin after a day in the sun. The overall effect is serene, refined, and utterly enchanting. Jardins de Misfah has become my signature, and for good reason. The performance is outstanding, the composition is refined, and the whole experience feels like the best expression of what niche perfumery should be: beautifully crafted, effortless complexity without confusion. It doesn’t try too hard. It doesn’t need to. Instead, it takes you on an uncomplicated, elegant journey, luxurious from start to finish, with just enough presence to leave a whisper of magic in the air. It lasts for hours, yet never overwhelms the people around you. Because loudness is not luxury, and volume is not sophistication. This is true niche quality: balanced, distinctive, memorable. I genuinely wanted to gate-keep this one because it feels so personal now; the kind of fragrance you want to protect because it becomes a part of who you are. But something this stunning deserves to be shared with the world. If you know, you know. If you don’t, Jardins de Misfah will show you.

So, in a previously written Fragrantica review, someone mentioned this perfume as being reminiscent of Dries Van Noten "Soie Malaquais." I own a full bottle of Soie Malaquais and I ADORE the fragrance. With that said, I hoard and guard my bottle of Soie Malaquais 'cause the stuff is SO DARN EXPENSIVE. I was excited to try (what might be) a more affordable alternative. I ordered decants of Jardins de Misfah EdP and Jardins de Misfah EXTRAIT. And I must say while sharing very distant similarities with Soie Malaquais, Jardins de Misfah Extrait is quite different from anything else I've ever worn. And the extrait version is really, really, really nice. I'm always fearful of "date," or honey-date scents. But there's something about Jardins de Misfah that is very special. The fragrance clearly opens with prominent, strong, very distinctive, honeyed-fruity notes with a strong date (or prune) accord and gentle rose. But because the honey, the fruit and the rose are so well balanced, the perfume doesn't perform full-on gourmand. I do not get the sweet baklava, or pastry, or Turkish Delight vibe others speak about. While sweet and syrupy, the opening almost feels a bit earthy... Within minutes, the perfume develops with smooth, sweet & creamy, almond notes and very green DAVANA. WOW!! To my nose, it's the davana, or the ARTEMISIA leaf that really shines through this extrait version. The vegetal herbal nature of the davana is deep, earthy, rooted and seductive. And the davana definitely contributes to the perfume's thick, heady presence, which I think prevents the fragrance from feeling silly, or edible. Jardins de Misfah EXTRAIT is hard to describe. I definitely recommend sampling before springing for a full bottle. Now I'm anxiously awaiting my decant of the eau de parfum version. I love it!!

What a gorgeous niche, feminine fragrance! Definitely unique. This is the kind of scent I was hoping for from Feve Gourmand by Guerlain! As per the notes I can smell them all, but this is a lot more rose forward than the OG. I hate rose fragrances, but love this. It’s definitely more of a honeyed jammy rose. This is super long lasting and would be great for date night. It’s rich, comforting, a bit mysterious and sexy. I would say having the OG and extrait definitely doesn’t make either redundant. I actually bought a bottle of both. They are similar fragrances, you can tell they’re related, but they’re still different enough to justify having both. The OG is more of a daytime fragrance and the extrait more for night. Absolutely love them!

It's not sweet as usual but in a different way (because it smells almond and dates) and is more warm than sweet. You can smell all the ingredients mentioned above and, to imagine the smell, it is like a licorice syrup. I swear. Prominents notes are almond, licorice and rose. So this is very original, like a licorice and almond dessert perfumed with rose. About the rose you can smell every part of the plant ; thorns, petals, flower, leaves... it is a dark and complete rose. I have a 50ml bottle and I use it approximately once a week because it is a fragrance you don't want to forget My note : 8/10 (Performances are not that great)

This exquisite perfume sweeps me straight into a Middle Eastern fruit‐and‐spice souk, wrapped in the shimmer of desert heat - 35 to 40 degrees, sun blazing, colours glowing. A luscious fusion of ripe fruits, sweet warmth (never cloying), and a spicy floral heart, it feels both intoxicating and effortlessly refined. Uniquely feminine, irresistibly sexy, and unlike anything else in my collection, it has secured its place in my top 10 fragrances for life. A true modern masterpiece. Bravo, UNN.

I wasn’t sure how the extrait would compare to the original which was a bit too sweet for me, but wow—it hits the right balance of sweetness. Jardins de Misfah Extrait wraps you in golden warmth from the first spray. You get that lush mix of honeyed dates and almond right away, soft and sun-drenched, with just enough davana to keep things interesting. The rose here is jammy but not overpowering—more like petals steeped in syrup than a fresh bouquet. It’s sweet, yes, but not sticky or heavy.

Scrambling for words to describe this, in the most delirious way--I've been under the gentle spell of Jardins de Misfah Extrait, all the way from the intricate packaging and presentation, to the otherworldly scent profile. This magically bares your soul and reveals places in you that used to be completely unknown to yourself. It's very hard to describe the effect, but if scent could affect a trance, this is the closest thing to it... thoroughly blissed-out, completely entranced... 💝🌀💝🌀💝🌀

I can’t imagine anyone not liking this. It’s Gorgeous honey and fig forward with rose in the background. Perfectly unisex, there’s something almost black licorice in the background that’s very faint.The woods you don’t really detect, but it does have a little bit of density so I guess it weighs it down in a good way so it’s not so airy. I’ve never smelled dates in perfume before. It’s definitely worth trying, especially for its uniqueness.

A more deeper and sweeter version of the original. Not heavy or cloying though. Honeyed dates are more prominent here, with less rose and almond. The longevity is even better. More suitable for colder weather or evenings. I love the new extrait version and will be keeping both extrait and edp, but if have to choose between them, I'd go for edp. Just because it's lighter, more versatile and is more rose prominent.

Masterpiece. I love how they made this less sweet and more rosy/almondy. The dry down is less intense with the honeyed accords and it turns more like greenish - fruity. It must be the Davana. It’s beautiful, dense and long lasting, exactly what you expect from a niche perfume. Beautifully crafted! ❤️ Top notch quality. Unisex but to me it seems more feminine leaning.

obsessed, i have put it on myself to go to bed bc i want to be surrounded in it. something on the first application is giving shaving cream, a little synthetic but i just can't get enough. new ish in my fragrance exploration journey so maybe i will outgrow this but for now this is my favorite scent.

I can not get enough of this. I’m obsessed. It’s jammy, sensual, delicious, with rose puttering about in the background. One of the lucky scent staff suggested layering this with Santal Calling and the combo is phenomenal.

While I adored the OG version, I often found it too tart on my skin. The dialed up sweetness in the extrait helps cut down the awkward tanginess and makes what was already a beautiful fragrance, much more wearable.

This was surprisingly nice! Sweet, but not overpowering rose and honey. This comes from someone who hates rose perfumes. I don't like the childish design of the bottle but the juice is gooood

Rich, tastefully sweet, sensual. An absolutely beautiful fragrance. It’s very unique. Projection & longevity are great. One of my favourite purchases of 2025.

There are no words to describe how perfect this is. If like the sound of the notes please please get your nose on it. It is magical.

I love Jardins de Misfah! I bought the sample jit and I am deffinatley going for a full bottle :)

Really lovely, the greenness is definitely present from the moment it is sprayed and remains for the rest of the wear, this has a syrupy component about it, one thing I will say about this house is that the fragrances are proper, there’s no artificialness, just very well blended compositions, I’ve not tried the original Jardins de misfah, only this one, but yeah quite nice, has a smoothness about it, I think if the notes appeal to you and you don’t mind fragrances with an outdoorsy vibe I think you should go ahead and sample this one. Will I be buying a full bottle? No, but only because it doesn’t feel me enough to buy, but somewhere out there someone will wear or is wearing this beautifully, and I’m sure if I were to smell them wearing it I would think as much. Truly unisex and long lasting.

Ever since I tested Estrella de la Mañana (one of the best bets for 2025), I knew this brand would charm me! This new crop of brands in today's niche market — such as Maison Crivelli, Une Nuit Nomade, among others — deserves at least a taste. I'm sure it will surprise you. Here, in short, we have a party of Arab sweets or treats in the garden! The central idea is missing — everything is masterfully dipped in honey. Almonds, dates, fresh roses... they literally give a party to something unique and special, in my opinion. A perfume with a very Arab DNA, created by a French house — curious! Artemisia and rose are the garden. Honey, almonds and dates represent the Arab party and its treats. Deep, rich, sensual! Another winner from the house! 9/10

I had never smelled something like this before. It was my first time smelling dates in a perfume and mixed with honey I found it to be like a sticky syrup on my skin. Incredible sweet and long lasting. I was able to perceived the creamy almond as a base note which made this perfume pleasant but unfortunately not for me. Pretty, unique and, in my opinion 100% unisex. If you are looking for something sweet and unique I believe this is a great choice. Longevity 9/10 Sillage 5/10 Cool seasons Night.
