A cheaper dupe to Angel Nova
I was buying the last gifts needed for Christmas and the Sephora there had finally received the newest NEST perfume so I decided I'd spray it on and either keep it or remove it from my watchlist.
This is exactly what it says in the notes. Lychee, pink champagne, raspberries, roses and not much more to it than that. The lychee is really evanescent and is only there for a few minutes at the beginning. Like every other lychee scent I've smelled up until now, I wish the note would've stayed longer. Pink champagne is also there at the top and quite photorealistic. It's bubbly and sparkling, sweet and a little bit alcoholic which unfortunately taints the beginning of the perfume with a synthetic note. Things unfortunately don't get better. It ends up shifting to a strong raspberries and roses accord. For those who've smelled "Angel Nova (Eau de parfum) | Mugler" and "Angel Nova (Eau de toilette) | Mugler" the raspberry is shockingly similar. Synthetic, plasticky and overall not to my liking. The rose is powdery and a bit too sweet, giving a strange dissonant woody accord to the scent.
I am not a huge fan of the Angel Nova line, which is probably why I did not enjoy this one as much as I had hoped for. Overall, it's a cheaper dupe for the Angel Nova line with prominent notes of raspberries and roses, but unfortunately the overall synthetic aspect of this perfume turned me off.
