Powerful leather note

This brand was new to me so I checked it out. It states to be “an idea that grows out of a contemporary cultural reflection” (Intertrade.com). I tried to look for that while testing. What would it mean to me? While writing this I am not sure…
This is definitely not for everyone. I can easily understand why this is a leather fragrance, since it has a very powerful leather note. I like it but I do not expect everyone to feel the same way. To me it is a unisex scent as well.
It starts out being a blend between an apothecary shop and a forest (sorry, that is the best picture I can paint) and after a while it transfers into beautifully combined notes of incense, apricot and the leather note. It seems like this goes on forever - a strong scent.
Unfortunately, not much more happens. That is it. I acknowlegde the nice scent but I am not impressed. I do not think I shall return to this.

No, I'm out of this one...

Many thanks to Rosa for the sample of Nùr Eau Fine Eau de Parfum :-) Unfortunately, my enthusiasm is quite limited. The fragrance DNA simply does not suit my taste at all. I can positively mention the longevity of about 10 to 12 hours and the good sillage (if you like the scent).

The top note is relatively short-lived and initially offers apricots and lemons. Here, fruity sweetness alternates with a citrus acidity. The heart note is quite terrible for me. Mugwort, chamomile, and orris root create a combination that makes me want to wash the scent off as soon as possible. It smells of menthol, herbs, earthy, root-like, floral, subtly smoky, and slightly woody. The base has a leathery, smoky, somewhat oriental, resinous scent of cedar and earthy tree moss. I can hardly detect the vanilla here.

Curiously, my mom found this scent to be really successful. Therefore, she can use the rest of my sample. For me, this is more of a unisex perfume for the cold season.

A Scent Bandage

Chamomile and incense at the beginning of the treatment invigorate and have a very healing effect on all sorts of ailments.
The wormwood represents for me a few drops of bitter medicine.
After that, there’s a tablespoon full of this milky juice against fever, flavor apricot.
The lemon invigorates and refreshes immensely and brightens the incense, as no church has ever managed to do.
A dusty iris creates the healing powder and gives the dry bandage aura.
A crutch made of cedar wood is ready.
The thick leather armchair invites you and allows you to relax.
Vanilla comforts. As always.
...and dries the fear sweat (I have huge fear of musk - always have)
A skin-like musk. Yes. I can live with that. Amber and musk... that’s how your skin smells.

Brief Notes: Prélude

Recently, I was able to test Nûr in a well-stocked perfumery. Since there is nothing written about it here so far, I will briefly note my impressions after just one spray. Updates and expansions are not excluded, because - to give it away - I like the scent!

Nûr ("Light") strikingly reminds me of the Interlude by Amouage, which was released two years later. Specifically, I mean this intense "Hot Desert Sand and Wind Spice Note," which I believe is composed of a biting curry spice (for Interlude, allspice is appropriately listed) and a strict resinous, almost tar-like note, for which Amouage also offers more options pyramidally.

However, Nûr is rounder, more balanced than its younger sibling; this is likely due in no small part to a creamy amber, which is not immediately noticeable (at first). Only around the seventh hour does the scent become completely mild, and then quite quickly. Especially musk is now clearly perceptible, but it is lightly spiced and underlaid with a kind of fir balsam. This shifts my scent impression away from the oriental corner, as this note always seems somewhat Anglo-Saxon to me: Since I know Elite by Floris - the most Anglo-Saxon perfume for me - I have this exclusively personal association.

I do not perceive such a distinct scent progression as the pyramid mentioned above might suggest. Nûr remains true to "my" desert note for about six hours.

Anyone who (like I do) enjoys the character of Interlude as sketched above, but finds it (as my wife unfortunately does) too loud, perhaps too shrill, should give it a try. Nûr may have been the Prélude to Interlude in terms of timing, but in terms of scent, I do not believe it is. I actually find it a little more mature and, with its relative subtlety, even somewhat more confident. Its classification as a purely women's fragrance is not understandable to me.

The longevity is fine. Six hours until the base begins, then several more hours quietly, yet still well perceivable.

Herbal notes (camomile, vermouth), leather and fruity notes (apricot) form an unusual, yet beautiful bittersweet unit.

An elegant and well-rounded women's fragrance accompanied by smoke.
Grounded, not intrusive for the worldly woman. Great scent.
Thank you, Antje.

A truly beautiful scent, for special occasions. Not for everyday use. It needs its stage.

Chamomile, apricot, and vanilla create a feeling of being able to achieve anything. Leather, iris root, and moss provide grounding. Beautiful.

Interesting! Fruity-floral = chamomile. Sweet = elegant apricot, vanilla. Lightly spicy = iris root, leather, cedar. Sillage is very good. Unisex. Feminine.
