Oriental Blueprint

Natural aroma explosion.
That's what I expect from artisans in the higher price range. I want a noticeable variety of notes when, as in this case, 40 notes are listed. Each of these expensive, natural raw materials of the highest quality (some of them from Ensar Oud) can pass as a perfume because of their complexity alone, if you have ever smelled the pure oils. However, as this is a blend, i.e. a fusion of all these notes together, it depends on the skill of the perfumer to bring out the diversity of them beautifully.
Did he succeed?

Frederic Gieselbach, founder & perfumer behind Nebiru Parfvms, made it his mission in 2024 to collect the best natural raw materials in the world to tell great stories with them. The fragrances have soul & passion, a quick look at his work behind the scenes via Instagram is worthwhile. I can only take my hat off to people who dare to take the step into perfumery, which involves a lot of effort. Especially the natural one, which is far more complex to run in terms of sourcing the raw materials (especially in terms of price). The end result can never match the quality of mainstream mass-produced goods pumped up with synthetics.

Right from the start, you can smell that Emerald is a base-centered oud perfume.
Smoky notes of pepper determine the opening with jungle-like, partly leathery oud - it starts strong in a pleasant frame Then the oud becomes very balsamic & creamy thanks to Mysore sandalwood, iris butter & natural musk, very smooth, almost buttery. A warm, oriental spice of saffron & cinnamon lies pleasantly & naturally over it. It & the chocolaty cocoa are never too sweet. The oud & floral heart notes are too present for that. There are magnolia, frangipani & rose in particular, which convey something tropical with their bright, slightly fruity character, which is made more ethereal by the lavender - so the fragrance is not too dense, pure oriental and remains quite wearable, and is also completely free of coke & animalic.
The tropical flowers with the balsamic cocoa oud & the oriental spice together remind me very much of the similarly structured fragrances Oud Monarch Extrait de Parfum & L'Heure Exquise by Bortnikoff, both of which are also very smoothly composed & wearable, only here it is a corner denser in the opening due to the smoke.

Thus, in my opinion, he has more than succeeded in composing a complex & at the same time wearable oud perfume of high quality.
There is also a high oil content, which can be recognized by the dark color of the juice, the good durability & the film on the skin, at least 30%.

For 10€/ml you can definitely offer a distinct oud fragrance of this quality with all the natural raw materials around it. In my opinion, the price is fairer than the competition, who handle similar oils, and sometimes even dose ouds (which don't even have the caliber of his Ensars) much less noticeably.

So far, the first 2/4 of the brand have scored very well with me. I am very optimistic about the next ones & can definitely recommend the house to you if you value high quality natural fragrances.

I hope I was able to give you a better understanding of the fragrance & the house & I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say about it. :)

Between quality selection and local patriotism

"What good is a glorious idea if it dies in the factory?"

There is often a lot of leeway between imagination, passion and the will to implement, but this can rarely be completely filled with creativity.
Working with raw materials means taking a fascinating look at the possibilities of one's own creativity, but it is by no means a sure-fire success. The still young brand Nebiru Parfvms is attempting to make its voice heard in the slipstream of a newly emerged and steadily growing "Artisanal Oud Community".

For some, the diversity of the ingredients seems suspect, for others the prospect of their fusion. In general, the fragrance pyramid is as much an attempt as an offer to open the door to one's own imagination. As always, it's all about trying.

To the fragrance profile
A rich, candied conglomeration of spices - the opening is reminiscent of a roasted liquorice dish, which paints a kaleidoscopic spectacle of diverse notes in detail, without anything in particular coming to the fore.

The overall impression is of a fusion of Occident and Orient, where the expansive oriental Christmas market opens its doors. A hint of rose saffron extract and a sweetish shimmer of magnolia as well as various balsamic volatiles diffuse as a captivating melange in a largely unhurried manner, but also with little development throughout, as it does not allow for any rashes. The fragrance profile tends to be sweet and spicy, developing a creamy consistency as it progresses and becoming somewhat dry and woody towards the end.

The spread-out oud carpet has generous recesses in its texture, covers only dimly and hardly grounds, the woven profiles are as colorless as they are low-contrast, unfortunately. Critically, it can be apostrophized: diverse (in theory) but inexpressive (in practice).

The previous comments already suggest that I am not really convinced by the result. I suspect that the concentration level was chosen too low, otherwise the fair price would probably not have been sustainable. Despite all the criticism, the selection of resources appears to be of high quality, but the result is conceivably indifferent.

What remains is a densely veneered corpus that is far too pleasing at its core. Freed from any contours, there is no rebellion (in the base) that seeks to add something full of character to the fragrance profile, a kind of corrective. After all, who would want to deny that the most exciting creations from the artisan forges of our time often radiate a certain imperfection, for which they are universally appreciated?
Perhaps it is above all the "balanced imperfection" that has brought Emerald so much positive feedback in the recent past. I am not surprised by this, as such fragrances - whether natural or synthetically blended - capture the olfactory zeitgeist to a certain extent and can even be wonderfully integrated into its cross-section. It's less to my taste, but it doesn't have to be.

On the other hand, I am surprised by the occasional comparisons to established brands from the "artisanal oud" scene that can be read here, or how much passion is put into trying to assign an equivalent quality characteristic to the still very young brand.

As nice and worthy of support as it may seem to place a new, oud-oriented brand in our latitudes (without a web store), which takes well-known greats from abroad as a model, I would like to see a more level-headed approach at this point (for the future). After all, it cannot be fair to any brand in the early stages of its development to make such comparisons. Instead, it should be given the necessary time to position itself on the market.

I find it difficult to predict where the further development of this brand will lead. Nevertheless, success is granted to the brain behind Nebiru Parfvms from North Rhine-Westphalia.

Emerald - The emerald from Rheinbach

It's not easy to find gemstones.
If you want to spin the association further here....it must be clearly stated that this perfume and the art behind it....are not easy to find either.

Everyone knows it and is looking for the perfect fragrance. This also seems to be the case with Frederic, the man behind the Nebiru brand. Rarely have I seen so much dedication to creating a fragrance.

Why the name Emerald was chosen here is obvious:

The fragrance starts ethereal green spicy. The pepper unfolds its full power at the beginning. In the twist, the vetiver and oakmoss give it green notes, which are beautifully complemented by the oud and balsamic notes. The DD is woody.

If you look at the fragrance pyramid, you will see that the ingredients are worth as much as a green emerald :)

And finally, it must be said that the fragrance is as rare as an emerald because good Frederic makes everything by hand, so there are only 38 bottles.

Many thanks to Frederic Gieselbach for this beautiful fragrance art that you present to us. I am very much looking forward to the next series.

Arrived yesterday and..

... immediately in love!

I have to say that this is the first Artisan fragrance I have both smelled and owned.

Heard a lot about Frederic and his work beforehand. Fascinated by his way of working and the comparisons with the great oud houses of this world.

Arrived yesterday, sprayed it on - wow. I immediately thought of a coniferous forest, rainy, somewhere with freshly felled trees and resin in the opening. The fragrance is in constant development on my skin, I could literally perceive changes every 10 minutes. From resinous-balsamic to fresh, sweet wood.
Pure nature! That's all I can say about it.

I often follow hypes and their fragrances, but here I was shown that that's not everything. You can't say that Frederic is competing with established houses like Xerjoff or Dior, because in my eyes we're playing in a different league here.

I thank you for this fragrance experience and it is somehow almost too good to wear, as I own one of twelve 30 ml bottles produced.

I can't wait to see what else is in store for us.

Medicated smoked cocoa

So, this is the perfume with my first review here on Parfumo. To say it up front, I have a hard time with things like this. I am quite limited in terms of creativity.
Now to the Emerald:

First of all, I am happy to own a Nebiru and to be able to call it my own. I think this is due to the limitation of the current fragrances. That's why I'm super happy about it.
But now the review really begins:
After a long back and forth, I received a notification from my bank (thanks to GurkenRick) that the money had finally arrived and the fragrance had been sent. A few days later it finally arrived. At first I thought I had received an empty parcel, as at that moment it felt like it only weighed 10 grams. I opened it, saw the perfume, unpacked it and then I couldn't contain myself any longer and sprayed no less than 12 sprays of this fragrance on my arm and into the room without having known it until then. A light citrus of bergamot straight away. Then three kinds of pepper, these notes blended into phase 1.

Phase 1:
This fragrance smells 100% like PROSPAN CUSTOMER LIQUID/CUSTOMER JUICE on my skin.

I immediately fell in love with it, thanks to a cure from 10 years ago where PROSPAN played a major role. However, this disappears after about 2-3 minutes. Then it's on to the next phase.

Phase 2:
Now comes the spicy-floral-smoky part. Wild forest, for me, that is. Beautifully expansive, but not too penetrating, perceptible.

And now the part with the sillage and durability come to the fore. Lasts around 24 hours in total. No nonsense. Because now comes the best phase for me on my skin.

Phase 3: after a good 5 hours, I can clearly smell the oud weave, but there's not even anything animalic about it. It's cool to smell non-animalic oud for a change. At the end, however, this value-for-money masterpiece has a clearly dominant scent of cocoa until the end (from hour 10). I love this note here.

Sillage is still well perceptible within a 1-meter radius around me even after 10 hours. Longevity as I said simply sick, 24 hours on me. Comes close to Air Tiger and the longest lasting Diaghilev Parfum for me so far. Even if only in third place so far. Actually second, as I only have the AT as a 5ml bottling. No matter. Either way, it is simply a masterpiece for me in terms of price. Even if I don't really like the current packaging. But for ingredients, some of which come from ENSAR OUD, the price has been kept quite low and the OVP plays a rather incidental role for me. Simply all around a perfume which I can, want to, will give a direct 10/10 and keep it that way.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day, evening and so on.
