Review of Nahema Eau de Parfum by aad de gids

such great rose-perfume. to think she has (had because Creed is doing Creedicide with all the fucking Aventuses, Vikings, Mountain Waters etc.) a twin: Creed 'Fleurs de Bulgarie'. they are both as voluptuous as dramatic. Nahéma, with (the discontinued) Mahora, I find the best Guerlains. of course with Mitsouko, Shalimar, Guet Apins, l'Heure Bleue and Vol de Nuit. Nahéma is such a fullbodied, dense and yet airy, roseperfume, proving the Rose is the Queen. Rose easily blows away oud and tubereuse. yet she is always supportive, especially with oud (and civet). I have the luxe vaporisateur. I have stocked up on both the Nahémas and Fleur de Bulgaries. also this perfume caused my dad a coughing fit. poor dad being in a house with my mom who liked all the 80s powerhouses (the real ones as Giorgio, Poison, Obsession, Moschino Parfum de Toilette, Knowing) as I did and still do. my dad with his superior sense of smell had a hard time. I already venerated Guerlain but with Nahéma and Mahora (2000) I was forever over. then Creed added to that with Fleurs de Bulgarie, Irisia, Tubereuse Indiana, Jasmine Empératrice Eugénie and Jasmal, of which I bought the large 'decanter'. I guess now most of these roomclearers they have removed from their catalogue. Nahéma Nahéma you let me dream always. (later) since I guess the 1990s I have three Nahémas in my house. the Luxe Vaporisateur for 1.7oz50mL Edp dictated that I backed up with 2 fillings. it was of course Love at First Sight. I am a Rose Person. with Gem Eau de Toilette de Van Cleef & Arpels 1987 (3oz90mL in Luxe Vaporisateur) and Creed's Fleurs de Bulgarie Millésime 1980 (even 19th C) (2.5oz75mL as Parfum 'Millésime') I always considered these thé Trias of Roses. while Gem arguably can be considered a predominantly Spicy Oriental (or newer nomenclature, Amber) perfume, it is the Roses in these three which are so exemplary treated and with such Refinement and Royaume, that they seem to hold a Pact. now I get whirls of pure Rose Water above from Nahéma. you certainly also get whiffs of Aldehydes and the Peach and Bergamot are blended until smoothening solacing entrance towards a Jardin Clôs of Rare Species of Roses and Jasmine, Hyacinths and Ylang, Lilac and Lily-of-the-Valley. in so far the Enfleurage. when still the Flowers dance along the light spritzed in the world with this exceptional perfume forebodenings of a sturdy base already are heralded. Peru Balsem, Sandelwood, Passionfruit (an unusual Accord), Vanilla and Vetiver lend a Woody, Balsamic, Ripe and perhaps a Forestrial Floor against which, and with which, this rare concoction singles out beautiful Bulgarian Roses and the Airiest Arabian Rose Waters. with Guet Apins, Mahora, L'Instant, Shalimar, Mitsouko, L'Heure Bleue and Les Absolus d'Orient Santal Royal Nahéma is certainly a Legendary Rose Perfume in itself.
