Phenomenal perfume

I believe there is no need to exaggerate about this perfume, but a few sentences nonetheless: This is a perfume with amazing performance that combines a harmony of notes that together become magic.

The most prominent notes in my opinion are honey, saffron, rose, geranium, whiskey and amber.

This perfume is not suitable for every situation and certainly not an everyday perfume.
It is suitable for special occasions and night outings on cold winter days.

I definitely recommend trying this perfume properly despite the hype about this perfume.

9/10.

Beautiful complex fragrance from Nishane

Nefs is quite good and an interestingly complex fragrance. Following the dry down as one phase evolves or blooms into the next makes for an entertaining experience. Even though there is oud here, not one phase is unpleasant or stinky.

The opening did not follow the listed top notes for me. Perhaps it was the blend together of all the notes. What I got was a mild woody scent. Not very long after, the florals began to appear. I couldn't really pick out an individual flower scent. Just a blended, creamy floral scent with a smooth woody component. At this point is surprisingly reminded me of Dunhill's Egyptian Smoke. Suddenly, a fresher accord began to appear, almost citrusy/sour in character. The generic floral accord started to lean more towards a rose scent. At this point, the oud made its presence known with a very slightly cheesy scent. This quickly blended with the other base notes, standing out for me was the vanilla, leather and whiskey along with the oud and the rose leaning florals. The sour character also disappeared. The overall transition took maybe about 45 minutes to an hour. The scent in the last phase endured for many hours with great longevity. It isn't the typical situation where the final dry down scent lasts for 3 or 4 hours and then dissipates into some sort of generic woody mush of a scent. Projection is pretty good but it's not a room fumigator.

I wouldn't say Nefs is very sweet and it leans masculine to my nose. That said, it's not an MMA testosterone dripping cage match fight but a classy, confident, gentlemanly type of masculinity.

I'd like to add Nefs to my collection. I haven't yet decided if it's worth the cost, which currently is around $280 at discounters for 30ml. It's definitely not worth the almost $600 list price. I think I'll add it to the bottom of my shopping list and wait on the purchase.

Masterpiece !

This is dream come true for any perfume lover . Once again excellent release from the house Nishane . Once you try this fragrance , you cant forget the aroma of it . Happened with me and i ended up buying the full bottle . Yes, the price is sky high and i understand why . But i would recommend to grab a tester from discounters if you have the option . From opening to end this perfume will take you into another world . Specially in the middle saffron , oud and vanilla . Oh !!! what a great blending by Master perfumer Mr. Chris Maurice . Every perfume lover should at least try this once in life . I am very glad that i bought it . This is an Unisex fragrance but i think this is more masculine.

Outrageous price, mediocre perfume

Whenever a new special perfume comes out for a house there's a big hubbub around the question of value. Some of us stop on the edge of the cliff, others dive right in and try to convince the rest that the water is warm. I feel that the same thing is happening here.

Is this a good scent? It's pleasant, it's acceptable, it's wearable, it won't raise any eyebrows but it won't turn any noses away in disgust either.

Nefs is a pleasant, comfortable oud scent, a little creamy with ginger and whiskey, saffron and spices, but it's very shallow. It doesn't show any soul, none of the materials really come forth, they all hang in the background never really declaring themselves, none of them showrunners.

I personally enjoy when a fragrance has some kind of character, this is one of the most run-of-the-mill perfumes I've ever tried.

Amazing

SCENT : NEFS extrait the parfume

This is a fruity , juicy , boozy, oudy, sweet , warm Spicey amazing masterpiece. It smells like how heaven should smell. The fig and honey plays an important role in this composition. The wiskey smells expensive and how in godsake, can a fragrance keep developing on your skin. Deep in the drydown the oud will show his face and the honey and fig will both back up while the whiskey stays . What a scent !!!

PERFORMANCE :

The performance for me , 10/10 . I remember at the gasstation a guy smelled me from at least 8 meters ! He was totally in love with the smell and performance and ordered it directly. At the grocery , a women followed me all the way to the checkout to compliment me with the most beautiful smell .

PRESENTATION:

True to nishane fashion this fragrances presentation is just beautiful. The breathtaking golden bottle shows the price ! It sits nicely in a cushioned bed which gives it a touch of elegance and class .

VERSATILITY :

I would wear this fragrance with special occasions . Dressed up would be perfect ! Unisex and best performance in cold weather .

PRICE:

The retail is about 495€ but it smells like 1000€. I think it’s worth it .

OVERALL:

I think this is hands down one of my favorite Fragrance all time !!!! . What and beautiful piece of artNishane Made here . . They set the bar high in the fragrance world ! Sophisticated polished and just amazing unique scent which makes its suitable for men and women . Keeps developing endless on your skin . Never got so many compliments as with Nefs . I really love what NISHANE did here .
