Spicy with powerful performance

Awesome fragrance. Smells fantastic, expensive and high quality. Very unique for me, but I have not tried the two Penhaligon's in the 'smells similar' list. Relatively dry - little sweetness - quite masculine. To simply describe it, I'd say mainly spicy, with some lavender and resinous base. But, it's by no means a simple fragrance.

Performance is powerful. Seemed to last forever. Left with a pretty strong scent on my skin after 12 hours. Sillage was quite good for about 3, maybe 4 hours. Its strength would probably limit its versatility for some guys unless you are quite confident.

I usually don't attribute any emotions to fragrances I wear, but I found Papilefiko to be strangely uplifting for me. Brightened me and my day. I'm putting this on my full bottle shopping list. Price is reasonable at discounters.

Ropion’s Signature Spice Blend

If you’re familiar with Dominique Ropion’s spicy creations, you’ll catch a similar vibe in Papilefiko. Does that make it redundant in a collection? Maybe for some. But for me—not really.

Before picking this up, I was already enjoying Costume National Homme, also by Ropion. The openings? Definitely cut from the same cloth. But while CN Homme leans a bit synthetic and stays pretty linear, Papilefiko feels smoother and more dynamic—it actually evolves on skin. Plus, it wears lighter, making it more versatile.

Blazing Mr Sam comes to mind too—it shares that spicy kick in the opening. But Mr Sam opens heavier and dries down richer, which makes it more of a winter scent in my book. Papilefiko, on the other hand, works nicely in fall and spring as well. So yeah, similar DNA, but each one has its own lane.

Disappointingly sweet.

Very linear, sweet pine and lavender juice. A fragrance I thought would be great for summer, but it would disappear 2 hours after application. In cooler weather, that sweetness was absolutely vile and sickening. Linear, sweet, boring, disappointing. I find the "Similar" suggestions on Parfumo really out of left field, so few of them have anything to do with anything for a lot of perfumes I have tried. I wonder if someone is just randomly suggesting things to kill time...

Butterflies in the stomach

Such a day full of surprise needs no Parfumo. Or rather: no Parfumina. Since woman already needs a little love, a little attention or just a fragrance.
A fragrance like Papilefiko , which gently caresses your soul, soothes your heart with lavender. Am immersed in the sea of flowers to let go, to be "I". A fir balm for the mind, with spices as an ingredient to more happiness and relaxation.

That evening, the fragrance was the revelation for me:
"Don't let your glow be taken away just because it blinds others".

Thank you for letting me test the fragrance.

A fragrance that makes you feel good

Papilefiko is a fragrance to relax and feel good.
This pleasant balsamic note is really beautifully crafted.
In addition, pleasant lavender, a slight freshness, a pleasant sweetness, slightly green and subtly resinous/vanilla due to the balsamic flavor.

The fragrance starts slightly fresh, greenish and with a subtle spiciness.
In my opinion, the pleasant resinous-balsamic flair with a vanilla touch is added relatively quickly.

So far, all Nishane fragrances have projected well on me.
The Papilefiko is the first one that is a little more difficult on my skin and comes across a little more shy. But that is by no means a bad thing.
Despite this, the durability is good.

In addition, this fragrance is definitely unisex wearable! Feel free to test it out.
It's really super pleasant!
