At first, I was disappointed because all I was getting was alcohol and hints of florals & musk. So, as usual with these Middle Eastern goodies, I let her rest and...

My, my, my. It only took from the 23rd to the 28th to make me fall in love. I call it "Better than Sweet Tooth" because it hits harder on the marshmallow and lasts SO much longer.

This is one of those scents that I think of as being "cloudy sweet" and a bit angelic. It's very, very nice. I can't wait to see what happens with it in a few more days. I might have to get a back up bottle.

I resisted buying anything with oud because I am so unfamiliar with it. I took a risk and did a blind buy with this, and I couldn't be happier.

The bottle is gorgeous (though a fingerprint magnet), and I could fend off robbers with it. But, back to the perfume itself...

The Good:
- If your skin "eats" perfume, this one will put up a fight
- It is sweet & leans femme, but can def be unisex
- It layers well. If the sweet is too much (and for some, it could be), they could spice it. For me, it's perfect & I layer it with something powdery (Junoon) or choco-leaning (Choco Musk).
- The bottle is beautiful (and heavy), but is not overly ornate.

The Iffy:
- It could be too sweet for some. Again, they can tone that down by layering something in.
- On some, this could come off too strong to wear in crowds or to work/school, etc.

Bottom Line:
- This is a potentially safe blind buy - for sweet gourmand lovers.
- This might play better in cooler weather (though I love it for every season).
- Layering this can completely change it up.
- This perfume makes me truly understand the description of "beast mode".
- People with more mature or drier or scent-resistent skin - this is yours (if you like the scent).

Personally, I've not had a perfume (that I love) performs so well with longevity. I will need to spurge and get a backup bottle of this.

This is a very nice scent. It's softly sweet - not like my louder, more up-front and in-your-face gourmands. I was worried that the bergamot would take over, but it fades on the dry down and makes the other, sweeter notes pop. The fruit is really creamy and subtle. The dry down is very amber-vanilla oriented.

It's a versatile fragrance - nice for someone who likes florals or who likes fruity gourmands. I will have to see how long the scent lasts. So far, it's been around 4 hours and it's still carrying a fragrance that extends 5 or 6 inches out.

The bottle is taller than I expected, and so pretty with the webbed metal design over the glass.

This still needs time to mellow now that I have opened it. It's not a new production, but I think being opened and closed & left to rest will make it really bloom.

I call Nebras the gateway to my Lattafa addiction. I started with a sample & the minute that powdery cacao hit my nose, I was in love.

This is a very unisex scent, and I love how it picks up on the user's chemistry. On me, it is a rich but soft and creamy scent. A musk that's not too sugary but not too masculine. It smells almost like when I layered Billy Eilish and Cloud.

Just got this last month and I was really disappointed. I expected something sweeter and more pronounced. This comes off as very muted and too soft to "hear" the notes. I get some praline and musk, but not enough of either.

I'm going to give this time b/c that has worked for me so far with my Lattafa scents. If this doesn't get a little bolder, I will use it as a layering only scent.

The bottle is really cute in a weirdly artistic way.
