Like the
Baz Cuir,
Durra Ambre and
Abjar Bois, the
Narjesi Fleur was released in the Accord Collection and is intended to be more wearable for the broader masses (especially for the West), because the
Narjesi is far more potent, edgier and, above all, less animalistic, actually the animalism was left out completely, but more on that in a moment.
So what does
Narjesi Fleur smell like? - The fragrance starts very fresh, I have rarely smelled a fresher rose; the rose is also tangy due to the bergamot and orange. In this respect, the opening is extremely fresh and really rose-dominated.
- After that, the fragrance becomes lighter and lighter, even lighter musk as well as different flowers, jasmine can be perceived; the rose remains concise, but gets a "fresh laundry vibe". A slight sweetness is subliminally perceived through the praline, but it is really marginal. The floral splendor unfolds primarily in this phase.
- In the drydown, the fragrance really becomes more airy and synthetic, but not in a negative way; you simply notice that this "airy" character comes through to keep the rose constantly fresh. A light green earthiness is also noticeable and prevents the fragrance from drifting too much into a fresh, laundry scent.
- The longevity is actually very good for this type of fragrance, and the projection in the first few hours leaves nothing to be desired.
Overall, a beautiful and creative rose fragrance that does not go in a sweet, resinous, spicy or dark oud direction like many rose fragrances, but rather reinterprets the rose and embeds it in a light floral, sweetish basic concept.
Now to the most exciting question: do you need the fragrance as a "normal person" for the high price? Absolutely not, for a normal person. But if you like rose fragrances and want to smell a high-quality, freshly interpreted rose at a high level, this is the right fragrance for you.
