Spring greetings, bud kisses
I recently stumbled across this new Narciso offspring here on Parfumo. "Sounds interesting..." thought my fragrance heart and on my next visit to the turquoise fragrance store, the beautiful bottle immediately caught my eye. I have to admit that I love the Narciso bottles anyway because of their simple, elegant and completely opaque look. Although I was hugely disappointed by "For Her Forever | Narciso Rodriguez", I was still optimistically open to new things and sprayed a generous amount directly onto my arm from the stylish nude-colored bottle. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
The first opening reminds me of Chloe edp, which a dear colleague and friend wears. Huh? Chloé? Why is that? What could it be? Maybe the floral notes? Is it freesia or magnolia?

After a few minutes, the fragrance changes and my initial Chloé association is no longer there. The scent becomes creamy. Sweet, floral cream, like in an expensive skincare product. Something stands out as particularly sweet, and my nose keeps wandering to my arm to isolate and identify this scent. I briefly suspect tuberose, but I perceive it more as squeaky sweet and artificial. The sweetness here melts incredibly beautifully into my skin. What is that? I remember other reviews comparing the fragrance to "For Her Musc Noir Rose | Narciso Rodriguez" and I partly agree with them, but it is a slightly different one. Sweetness. Bright, pink and cheerful, less deep and heavy. A little later, I also notice the Narciso musk - much milder than in "For Her Pure Musc (Eau de Parfum) | Narciso Rodriguez", for example, which I really appreciate.
The patchouli in the base is very restrained and gives way to rose and tonka.

It is definitely a "your skin but better" fragrance with a wonderful sweetness that is more reminiscent of expensive luxury than freshly laundered linen sheets. I really like it straight away. I would see it as a very successful symbiosis with the best of "Narciso (Eau de Parfum Poudrée) | Narciso Rodriguez" "For Her Fleur Musc (Eau de Parfum) | Narciso Rodriguez" and "For Her Musc Noir Rose | Narciso Rodriguez". Nude is like a morning in March. You're still soft and snuggled up in bed, but the first rays of sunshine are shining in through the window. It's getting lighter again, the days are gradually getting longer and warmer. The birds are singing their first song of the scent of the many blossoms and flowers that are slowly coming back to life. A fragrance full of longing and promise, light and kindness, gentle and loving.

Not a "Wow, here I am!", but an "I'm with you - we'll cuddle the darkness away!"

This fragrance is worthy of its name and deserves its place among the sisters - and certainly not just in my modest collection.

Unfortunately, the durability is also like a March morning...after about 3 hours the fragrance becomes skin-deep, but on clothes it lasts until the next day.

Fruit explosion and sweet almond kiss
From my notes during testing:
Fruit explosion at first spray, I get raspberry, dark heavy plum and sweet peach. Very quickly a wonderful deep sweet undertone is added, I strongly suspect tuberose, but not a heavy musty one, but a fruity light and beautiful sweetness that lingers for a long time. Here, the fragrance reminds me of JPG Paris By Night.
The violets also shine through, and I detect the heavy orange blossom from time to time. Very finely tuned overall!

15 minutes: hui, the tuberose picks up again and the whole thing gains sweetness.
The tuberose remains clearly perceptible the whole time, but not disturbingly so. Sillage is in the upper average range, the environment likes the fragrance very much.
As I don't have a tuberose fragrance yet and already had my eye on Scandal by night, I would opt for this one after testing it. It is finer and more balanced overall with good longevity and a clear but not overwhelmingly unpleasant sillage.
