What a boozy leather it is! First sniff is bit green with title neroli but later the fresh and sparkling leather unveils. So good blending!

Stunning

I find that one of nature's greatest expressions of elegance is manifested in felines.
What could be more beautiful than watching the fluid movement of a lioness on the hunting ground: its sinuous, delicate majesty, its velvety steps...
Nasimba means lion in Swahili, and this fragrance has been defined as a ‘Feline Neroli’.
I could not find a more appropriate description: the sparkling, citrusy opening, with slight bitter nuances typical of neroli, is combined with animalic tones, with a sophisticated but at the same time wild leather, which make this an olfactory creation truly remarkable.
And for me it is the scent of the lioness: it brings finesse, sensuality and strength, something unusual but magnetic especially on a woman.
Of course it got into my collection, it couldn't be any other way.
Appropriate for every season and occasion.

The power of memory

I already wrote in the statement that my whole first impression was literally ruined by a very strange memory: a tiny, ancient perfume bottle, so small that it stood in my grocer's store - around 1968/69 ... so old by then that it was completely dusty. Still, it was always exciting to smell it - grandma and grandpa introduced it to me as "perfume for gentlemen".

- Yes. So five, almost six decades later, I'm given a sample of Neroli Nasimba by Maison Crivelli, smell it and my brain immediately sparks: "Children's store / men's perfume / dusty." - So ! And you're supposed to work objectively with that XD XD

No, I'm joking. But all I can say is: Sorry, I can't get my head around it... I just can't get the association out of my head.
Seriously, I tried it this morning - leather fragrances usually blow me away, and this one even has a bit of smoke in the background, and without the usual incense wafting, which I don't really like anymore (I think since "Queen of the Night"). -
The sweetness is excitingly noble, a tiny hint of barbershop tries to penetrate, but is dispelled by wonderfully distinguished severity, so that the fragrance remains clearly unisex and thus suitable for so many genders - all very nice.
Actually a wonderfully moderate, serious, austere fragrance for those days when you want to be as irrefutable and beautiful as a winter sky.......

But I still can't get over this strange memory this time either XD

(Addendum: Guys. Sillage 6,9 ?? 1 spritz, and our whole apartment smells of it right now . So, who here comes up with 6.9 :O ??)

When neroli meets spice...

... then you have arrived at Neroli Nasimba. With this fragrance, you will be surprised by the unconventional combination of the gentle, floral-citrusy neroli, spicy cardamom and authentic leather
With this fragrance, I would have expected something subtle like neroli to be lost in the face of its supposedly competing notes of cardamom and leather, which have a strong presence throughout the fragrance. Wrong - the neroli fights and fights. It even manages to dominate the "competition" for quite some time without becoming unpleasantly penetrating or synthetic, as is so often the case with neroli. Accordingly, I am less able to understand the current classification of the fragrance as "synthetic".

Later in the fragrance, the neroli loses its power, giving way to cardamom and leather, which lend the fragrance its elegant finish. If you are put off by the intensity of the leather in Oud Stallion, don't worry! Fortunately, you get a softer and more digestible version here; otherwise this fragrance wouldn't work either, as the neroli would be flattened by the horse leather.

Overall, I can say that Neroli Nasimba is a successful creation that successfully works with contrasts without destroying the fragrance. As is to be expected with a neroli fragrance, it lags slightly behind in terms of longevity and sillage in comparison within the Crivelli house; especially when a very high standard is set by bombs such as Oud Maracujá or the aforementioned Oud Stallion.
