Sculpture Nikos for women

@ioanacopris: thank you so much for the information! Now it makes sense.

for olga1780 : Sculpture is a greek perfume. The bottle is made after the typical greek amphora and the name is also typical for the cultural background. I love the bottle and the name and the smell. I had three bottles of it and i would buy it again...i can't find it anywhere.

After giving it some time Sculpture definitely moved up from like to love on my list. This fragrance is so smooth and has a very expensive feel to it. The gtotesque bulky bottle doesn't make much sense just like the name, but the contents are just wondeful!
Extremely long lasting too.

I thought this smells very very familiar, and tried to remeber where I smelt it before. In food. LOL. The domminant note here is definetly TARRAGON. Where I live this is used very often in cooking. Not a good associaton at all for me, especially cause I don't really care for tarragon.Even if I did, still wouldn't want my smell to remind people of the heavy meat dishes spiced with tarragon. This is a big NO for me. Definetly. This is the smell of TARRAGON, bottled.

Very refreshing and unique perfume, I never smelled anything like it before!

Sculpture is indeed unique. I would say it is more on the greenish side than floral or oriental as it has a distincst hebal scent. Terragon note reminds me of that bright green drink of the Soviet Union called "Tarhun". I find this scent very calming and comforting.... it has almost therapeutic effect on me. Very nice composition.I think it could be easily worn in warmer weather as well.

lillybee's description is the way I remember this scent,I haven't smelled it recently...it was from when I was a teenager, still learning my chemistry and so more tolerant of fruity and powdery but I still like "peachy" now,I just think it's for youngen's.
I don't remember this smelling too young, though.
I had a sampler for a year or two.I like to wear clean,light, but complex scents: a combination seemingly contradictory and hard to find so when I do find them, I remember them and I remember liking this one.
I have fatty/oily skin that also gets dry, with hot perfume points so I often wear perfume on my clothes.I wore this on my skin and although I liked it better on my shirts, it smelled good on my skin, a little fruitier but not artificially glaringly fruity, which can happen on my skin.I rememebr the spiciness being quiet, much quieter than Angel, for instance.It remained relatively complex and 'green' and even very slightly aquatic but moreover,fresh without smelling 'fresh'...good for young summers running through public parks.

I love this scent...so unique and not the one tht everybody can wear...only those sensual and special women...

I read most reviews and was really confused. People find anise in it, and think it is marshmellowy sweet...Not to me! i think sky76sky's taste is close to mine. Yeap, it is airy and kind of sweet and creamy. It lasts only 3 hrs max. I used the body milk to make it smell better and my husband started complaining and guess what he was right....the cream accentuated the cedar and brought out a sourness, (a chemist could make me understand that)
Anyway, I have also bought the 10 ml parfum and wear it all the time. Stoppers work better for me!

Very similar at Nocturne of Caron!Green and long lasting.

Translation of Galya's review:

"e' strano che nella piramide mancano la viola e la rosa nella base come scritto nel foglio di confezione.....
il profumo e' mediocre e sa troppo di sapone."

It's strange that the pyramid/notes doesn't list violet and rose in the base as is written in the packaging. The perfume is mediocre and smells too much like soap.

e' strano che nella piramide mancano la viola e la rosa nella base come scritto nel foglio di confezione.....
il profumo e' mediocre e sa troppo di sapone.

Just adding to my review.
Quite an unusual perfume. I agree with Missk there is a prevalent lemon dessert scent like lemon souffle or something.
It depends where on my body I sniff.
On my wrist, I still get the vanilla, walnut maple syrup but on the inner elbow I get the fluffy lemon dessert scent more along with a hint of clean warm cotton.
Perfect to wear in winter during the day.

To me this is more of an oriental vanilla.
I don't seem to detect as many florals as other members. It has a light nutty vanillary drydown. On me it smells like maple syrup and this is a good thing. I really find sculpture unique, delicate, warming and very easy to wear.

Sculpture by Nikos is absolutely delightful. I'm a sucker for unique fragrances, and this fits the bill perfectly.

On the skin it's rather sweet, but not cloyingly so. It smells very much like marshmallows and sugared milk. Light and fluffy.

In the opening, freesia tends to be the most dominant note, with the lemon being rather candied in the background. The floral notes make their entrance rather early, dismissing the fruity notes altogether. Orchid, ylang-ylang, jasmine and lily of the valley together create a softly feminine fragrance. There is also a subtle grassy note that adds to this fragrance's uniqueness throughout the composition.

The drydown is quite lovely and warm. The vanilla and musk are soothing, while the benzoin, tonka bean and cedar create a rich, almost resinous, woodsy quality.

Personally I think that Sculpture could wear well all year round, in any season. I find it extremely pleasant when worn on a very cold day, such as today. I'll add that the lasting power and sillage are commendable.

Very sweet! Gummy bears meet marshmallow. I must have been too young to decipher the many mentioned real fragrance notes.

A lovely, balanced though powdery woody floral musk in the veins of Sotto Voce with less powder, more spice and juicy fruity elements. I actually like Sculpture more. It's arier, more joyful and ultimately doesn't take itself as seriously as Sotto Voce.

The first, fleeting impression is beautiful, sweet, juicy peach with that hint of musky, earthy greeness. Then comes a powerful conversion into powder land, with the greens and fruits fighting for space.

Thankfully, Sculpture clears up and the now dominantly musky orris and the white florals can exist together. It's quite lovely. Unfortunately, once the big fruity and powdery floral phase is over, there's very little left behind: a whisper of musk, the clean, laundry type of musk but no signs of the creamy, oriental base notes.

Shame it only lasts for about 3 - 4 hours on my skin and becomes a barely detectable light, peachy musk skin scent with possibly a hint of woods. I would have liked this more had it been longer lasting.

Fragrantica, why isn't ANISE listed as a note when, to my nose, it's the whole point of the composition? Light, powdery, spicy anise cushioned in a bed of jasmine and lemon. At first application, Sculpture has the flavor of those air-thin sweet anise cookies accompanied by zesty lemonade on a honeyed autumn afternoon. Sky76sky hit the mark with the description of a "sweetener." This splenda thickens a wee bit throughout the heart and base, as sweet jasmine, vanilla, and tonka bean lightly brush over the peppery anise. My best description of Sculpture is that of an anise kiss, chaste on the skin.

It smells better on skin than on paper because only the warmth of body heat can lift the anise into the air just right - it's stuffy on paper, and you miss the floral aspects.

As another note, Sculpture is a spray and walk application type of perfume. If sprayed directly onto the skin, you run the risk of making the scent too strong or concentrated, and it's harder to appreciate the inherent lightness of the composition that way.

A well-done oriental, except that I personally cannot abide anise.

ooo I am in love!The first tme when i tried it was during summer and i liked it but not too much.During hot weather is too sweet,lil steeky sweet i can say and the spicy note is very dominant.But now during cold weather...oh-la-la!!!It is so elegant,tender,i dont feel so much spicyness,nice sweetness(nothing like todays fruty-floral frags).it is very special and i can say maybe exotic.I am very happy that i bought it today.Perfect for late summer,early autumn,probably winter too.It shows its beauty during cold weather.
P.S I dont know what makes it but it reminds me somehow of Allure edp ...

I'm trying to find a replacement for this as it's no longer available. What's the nearest anyone has found to it. Thanks! V

I adore its smell. The only con - it does not last very long.

Incredibly sweet & light-as-air aniseed start - the sweetness is almost like a sweetener...so incredibly sweet & yet nothing there at all. It morphs into a floral fusion & then settles as a clean yet creamy vanilla-cedar warmth. The flowers are not at all shouty - delicate & understated (I can detect the cyclamen).

For me it is a 'lean-in' fragrance....you want to get close & breathe it in. It is very polite & unintrusive, distinct without making a song-&-dance about it. Clean & yet warm - understatedly feminine. Beautiful.

A discontinued love affair.The best perfume I've ever had.Wearing it felt like walking above the ground.It has an anise aspect that's not included in the ingredients.The most femminine bergamot accord ever.Incomparable.

I found this one quite sweet ,but in a nice way.
If you want something unusual then this is it.
