Vanira Moorea came to me by chance as an addition. Since I usually don't appreciate the herbaceous and herbal scent of Petitgrain that much, my expectations regarding the fragrance were not very high. But what can I say - right from the first spray, I perceive a mild fresh-floral-citrus smell with a pleasant sweetness that leaves me in awe. Given the listed fragrance notes, I would have expected something different and I am very positively surprised. The individual components harmonize beautifully with each other, nothing stands out. Even the Petitgrain does not make the scent herbaceous, but rather gives it a unique green touch. In the base, the orange-vanilla becomes increasingly more vanilla-like and sweeter, yet a fresh background remains. In this state, it lasts relatively long (4-5 hours) on my skin and never becomes unpleasant or intrusive. Since it is relatively subtle, I can imagine wearing it almost on any occasion - except perhaps in the sweltering heat of midsummer.
I have never smelled anything like this before and it has potential for me as a new signature scent!

Some of you have probably been to a nail salon where acrylic nails are produced, among other things. From a distance, you can already smell the rather penetrating scent of the acrylic liquid - it smells, in my opinion, very unhealthy and one is inclined not to take a deep breath..
This is exactly how Nacarat starts when sprayed. Aside from the acrylate smell, I can't detect any other fragrance component. As it lingers on the skin, the acrylate scent diminishes and a few (synthetic) floral notes make an appearance - paired with the fruity sweetness of raspberry. Gradually, the scent settles a bit and I mainly perceive the orange blossom with raspberry. In the base, alongside the sweet-fruity berries, patchouli and vanilla are also noticeable.
Throughout the entire duration, this plastic touch remains. Together with the scent impression that I notice in many gourmand fruity choulis (especially in La Vie est Belle).
Those who are prone to fragrance-induced headaches should be cautious here. Overall, Nacarat is quite loud and sweet, lasting on my skin for a decent amount of time (>6h, even with hand washing).
If you like this plastic note in fragrances and are not bothered by distinctly synthetic components, you should definitely give this a sniff.

Aquatic-floral with a sunscreen association.
It starts playfully floral, with the flowers becoming more lush over time while the aquatic notes of lotus and melon are clearly perceptible. Although I would classify the scent as delicate, it is also layered and complex, as if standing in a meadow full of various spring flowers by a pond with water lilies and lotus blossoms. The musk base, together with the sandalwood, emphasizes the character of the fragrance and rounds it off.
A very harmonious work of fragrance art, stylish and high-quality. Whenever I smell Vicolo Fiori, it reminds me of watercolor paintings, which for me perfectly match the dreamy-aquatic-delicate character of the scent.

After spraying, I immediately notice the pineapple, which is underscored by citrus notes. Already here, I have the impression that the scent is leaning towards a dry woody direction, as I find Zen more aromatic than fresh. Something floral cannot be explicitly detected; it rather stays in the background. The woody base, on the other hand, comes strongly to the forefront, with patchouli clearly dominating.
The scent intensity is quite strong for my taste, and like the Chanel Chance EdT (which, in my opinion, bears a strong resemblance to Zen), the pineapple-patchouli combo makes the scent relatively heavy. For hotter days or summer, it would definitely be too much for me. Nevertheless, I would describe Zen as a wellness scent, as it radiates calm and balance.
Conclusion:
Citrusy aromatic with a slightly musty undertone. Normally, I really like patchouli, but in this combination, it is not pleasant on my skin.
This is also perceived negatively by my environment, just like with the Chance EdT, but I am quite sure that it has to do with me or my skin scent..

Like Bosque, a scent that I find very unusual. Penetrating sharp-green meets something milky (in the direction of Diptyque's Philosykos). This milkiness is consistently present. I also think I perceive something ethereal-herbaceous (sage?). Occasionally, I get an ice candy association. I find this scent overall to be rather unharmonious, as the fragrance components do not blend together but rather stand out individually.
