Sounds suspiciously like Nutella?!
Okay, it may seem unusual that I'm posting a comment now, but I will probably be publishing my comments more often around this time or just before 8 PM in the near future, and yes, the reason is indeed the World Cup :DD
And I don't know if I will still write something every day, but we'll see. I think a little break from me as the Parfumo plague here (waah, I hope I'm really not that!!) could do you all some good :D
But now to the fragrance!
Soo,… I know that the term “Nutella” lured you to my comment, didn't it, you Nutella monsters? :D
But I actually meant Nutella just as a reference to the name Nigritella, which at first glance sounds to me like a copy of a Nutella spread :D
The fragrance does smell sweet, but neither nutty nor chocolatey and…. yuck, and now everyone is gone again, while I wanted to distribute free Nutella rolls here, which would definitely go well while watching the World Cup games!... Well… too bad then :D
And Nigritella actually means "cabbage rose," hmmm, so they are probably the complete opposite of Nutella…. :DD
**The Fragrance:**
At the beginning, I mainly sniff out sweet tuberoses as well as light, citrusy notes, which seem to come primarily from the mandarins. Then there's jasmine, which quickly catches up with the tuberoses and smells slightly more intense than them.
Hmm… cabbage rose? I don't know if I perceive that, but there should actually be some kind of cabbage scent if the fragrance is already named after them. Later on, there is a light, green-herbaceous note that doesn't smell like cabbage, but maybe that could indeed be the cabbage roses… oh I have no idea, I should have eaten more vegetables as a child or something… :DD
In any case, the herbal impression doesn't last long, as the sweet floral scents are always in the foreground, making those notes the most noticeable.
From the base, the fragrance even becomes sweeter, as you can smell the vanilla well, which also makes the scent a bit powdery. There is also light sandalwood and other, not further identifiable flowers in the background. At the very end, it just smells like vanilla.
**The Sillage and Longevity:**
The sillage is moderate, and the fragrance is thus reasonably detectable at short to normal distances.
Fragrances that almost only smell like vanilla in their base seem to last somehow FOREVER! :D
So you can expect this fragrance to last easily 14 hours and much more; I could still smell it very faintly the next morning (at least the vanilla).
**The Bottle:**
The bottle is rectangular with an arching, curved upper section. The neck is cylindrical, topped with a black cap that seems to be made of wood. The label is violet and displays the logo and name of the fragrance. All in all, quite nice with its (in my opinion) slightly old-fashioned design.
Hmm… as mentioned, the fragrance is named after the cabbage roses, or Nigritella, but I'm not sure if you can really smell that in the scent, because I'm also not so sure how cabbage roses (raw or as a fragrance note) actually smell.
Because the fragrance smells mainly floral and sweet to me despite the light, herbaceous notes, with this sweetness being further enhanced in the base by the vanilla. The scent is not very heavy, but also not necessarily fresh and light, so in my opinion, it is best suited for autumn and early spring. Due to the nice scent, it is also good for going out.
I really liked the fragrance, but of course, such a scent technically only smells like vanilla later on and doesn't have much special to offer at the beginning to stand out from other fragrances, but that doesn't mean it isn't beautiful.
So it's worth a try!
Soo… well,… are you still crying over the Nutella rolls? Hmm… do you know what else is great?
If you press marshmallows into two halves of a roll, yum, THAT tastes really ultra-good!!! :D
