Perfect notes, finely tuned - but something is still not right
The notes here are very finely balanced. A creamy date silage and a pleasant sweetness play the composition here. Simply magnificent! It suits both me and, in my opinion, any lady who is interested in an elegant yet present fragrance. I even toyed with the idea of buying it until DD, but I'll get to that in a moment.
As the "Oriental Enigma" (the name is great) develops, especially in the first 10 minutes, it takes on gourmand notes that round everything off nicely with tonka and dates. One of the best date fragrances in my opinion, because you can clearly perceive the notes in the opening. It's still very similar to "Angels' Share | Kilian" and "Angelic Elixir | The Dua Brand / Dua Fragrances", but in my opinion much more balanced. "Angelic Elixir" always struck me as a little too sweet, but this one manages to retain a pleasant lightness without losing any of its radiance or longevity. I realize I'm comparing dates to apples right now, but some scent here is driving me to it. Well, an excellent fragrance so far.
For me, Oriental Enigma is perfect for the home, ideal for the cold season, for evenings or when the sun is just setting. There's something seductive and delicious about it that I find very sexy. But then comes the turning point in Dry Down: the fragrance becomes more intense, which I like at first, but the sweetness quickly becomes too dominant for me. Cinnamon is added, and suddenly I feel like the fragrance is drifting towards "old granny scent". Although I still admire its complexity and beauty, it's ultimately not quite my cup of tea.
My conclusion: Oriental Enigma seduced me at first with its perfectly balanced notes and delicacy, only to lose me later with its overwhelming sweetness. This close observation showed me once again how personal and subjective my world of fragrances is. What seemed promising at first (so a flat 10) changed dramatically over time and as the fragrance developed on my skin. Nevertheless, this is a really great fragrance!
Just give it a try.

Is it worth it? It delivers what it promises
This gem, the Nefs, exudes a pleasant sweetness that was positively received when I introduced it to my circle of friends. The sweetness, which I find slightly powdery, is appealing but never overpowering. The scent projection is rather restrained, unless you use several sprays. Overall, "Nefs" is a subtle, elegant fragrance, which in my opinion is particularly suitable for women. The bottle is in the typical Nishane style, but more refined and elegant, which emphasizes the luxurious character of the fragrance. A fragrance that gives pleasure without imposing itself.
Nefs begins with a sweet honey note that is perfectly balanced by saffron, followed by the fruity sweetness of fig. At the heart, a floral mix unfolds, led by rose and geranium, with a hint of jasmine. The base is rich and complex, with amber, cedarwood and an unexpected whisky note. As such a composition, a true masterpiece.
Personally, I opt for other fragrances when it comes to price, which is why I won't be buying it. But Nefs is by no means a bad fragrance or a classic. The DNA of Nefs is worth a test and highly recommended. If you like Side Effect, for example, you will certainly like Nefs too.
