Gentle Iris Beauty
Do you know what it's like when love suddenly strikes? So completely unexpectedly. Yet it hits you like lightning. The heart leaps, sings. And I want to dance.
Yes, it’s almost new. The name is perfectly chosen. I actually know one or two fragrances that resemble Nearly Nu. I love them all. So I’m not surprised that I’ve also fallen for this fine iris beauty by Michael Schrammel. It starts woody with a delicate powdery iris, just like my wonderful Bois d’Iris by Van Cleef & Arpels. This basic tendency remains. As it develops, it also reminds me a bit of Eau Duelle by Diptyque. I loved that fragrance for so long until one day something bothered me. It was changed. Or my perception changed. It can always be both. But here, the disruptive note is completely absent. Everything here is noble, finely soft, without scratchiness. Without pinching.
The base then becomes almost a little classic. A vanilla that reminds me in nuances of the Guerlinade. Actually, it’s not really my thing. But since the powderiness of the iris remains and this light woody tone, slightly underlined with incense, I find access to this vanilla, which is often a bit too serious for me, almost antique for my nose. Lyn Harris has also managed to bring me closer to these very classic traits here and there, for example with Heliotrope. Michael Schrammel has succeeded with Nearly Nu as well.
Even though this fragrance is entirely, as the name suggests, nothing new, it is simply beautiful. It unites so many olfactory details that are so beautiful to me that it makes me dream. It is, of course, right at the top of my wish list. Since it and the entire brand are currently only available for purchase in the USA, I will have to exercise a little patience. Not my greatest strength, I know. Someday you will belong to me, you gentle beauty.
A heartfelt thank you goes to Floyd for the testing opportunity.
