Another blogger I like who likes Nahema. :) And your experience is exactly the kind of feedback that makes me wonder how/what I'm missing. Honey, you say? Flourescent screech, step aside! I want to smell honey!!<br /><br />My sample, sent by a kind and generous fellow perfume lover, is marked "edp." Guess I need to withhold final judgement until I find the parfum. <br /><br />BTW, no snobbery about that at all. Some scents are clearly different in their different concentrations. And others certainly end up effectively different...I never would have come to appreciate Mitsouko if I hadn't gotten over my "blech" reaction to the edt and tried the edp. Can only imagine what the parfum would offer. And I highly value my small parfum of Chanel No19, which is the only way I truly enjoy wearing it.ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-81366567565490682862009-10-13T16:57:14.154-05:002009-10-13T16:57:14.154-05:00Oh dear I am going to be one of those people who p...Oh dear I am going to be one of those people who prefers Nahema. I would say though that I only like it as pure parfum. I am not a parfum snob at all and to be honest a lot of the time don't think it's necessary, I prefer EDP's. In this case though it's a different scent. There's a honey and a singing note to the rose I don't get in the other formulations.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-58224375673375930952009-10-13T16:35:51.593-05:002009-10-13T16:35:51.593-05:00LOL!

I now know that I need the rose to be real, or sumptuous, or dark...and my favorites start at the end of that trio. <br /><br />Oh, Magie Noire...that stuff works so well for me that I even like the current version. <br /><br />Have you ever tried the original Shiseido Zen? (in the black bottle?) Woody rose, hint of the MN vibe, but its own thing...ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-37606559457956614412009-10-12T19:34:06.705-05:002009-10-12T19:34:06.705-05:00Musette,
Yes, yes!! the Jolly Rancher...ack!!! :)...Musette,<br />Yes, yes!! the Jolly Rancher...ack!!! :)<br /><br />It's funny; given my gardening interests, and the grand tradition of rose in perfume, I took it for granted I would like it as a scent when I first started. NOT. <br /><br />Then I learned that "not" was really "not always"...I had just been trying stuff that was too cheap. Or went directions I didn't generally care for, like fruity sweet. Who knew that the oh-so-special Nahema would bring together the best (worst?) of both in my nose???<br /><br />Would love to hear what you think when you get a chance.ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-41847353677777399692009-10-12T18:39:07.921-05:002009-10-12T18:39:07.921-05:00I love rose.

Loooooove it in all its guises, from girly to demure to Miss Marple prim to femme fatale to slutty... and am utterly puzzled as to why I cannot smell Nahema at all. At all. I can sense there's something there, but I cannot actually smell it. <br /><br />Have not smelled Rose Barbare but might try to scare up a sample somewhere. Magie Noire - of which I have only smelled vintage edt - is a creature from another dimension, isn't it? Gorgeous. And for me, only wearable in certain rare moods.Mals86https://www.blogger.com/profile/09757305840611623427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-35212077633724808082009-10-12T13:40:45.388-05:002009-10-12T13:40:45.388-05:00I KNOW! on the Jolly Rancher issue! on Nahema, no...I KNOW! on the Jolly Rancher issue! on Nahema, not so much.
