Sculpture pour Homme Nikos for men

wow.. I had tested Very Valentino earlier.. a bit too sweet on me.. but then BAM! Sculpture Homme this afternoon.
It is really a great scent: can't wait to try on my man, but love this on myself ( woman aged over 25) ..such a start of fresh, cold citrus, cedar and spice mix... changing to a fresh floral aroma and very quickly to a devine 'tobacco' smoky warm wood benzoin?

The balance of the citrus, spice, balms and floral woods is perfect and I adore the movement from cold to warm.... mmm sexy
--------------------------------
Also tested on man this evening..he really likes this and gets less citrus, more floral and some juicyfruity note that I cannot pinpoint.. he thinks it smells like Hypnose on him.. I passed that one to him (female version) because I couldn't do the fruityfloral in it, but he is not getting my Sculpture!

It's líke Cool Water without the certain something, like some stale licorice. Disappointing. Can't understand the hype.

My goodness, why did it take me so long to blind-buy this fragrance. Being in my late twenties, with an affinity for sweeter fragrances, I just figured this would be an older, dated fragrance that would not be a hit to my nostrils. Boy was I wrong. On the initial spray, the citruses included in this fragrance do an excellent job combining elements of fresh, sweet, and tart... I have seen too many fragrances only concentrate on one, not all 3. The citruses remain present throughout, but the floral mid begins to soften the fragrance. This phase is so sensual and fresh - I am blown away at how modern this fragrance smells. And just when I didnt think it could get any better, that finger licking vanilla aroma created by the amber, tonka, and benzoin. It is not sickly sweet, not headache inducing, not cavity creating... it's just right. It becomes a bit powdery, but i see musk is not listed. The fragrance this reminds me of in my collection is Thallium, but it's a much more complex Thallium. It's also much more fresh and interesting... and I'm a fan of Thallium. It's also similar to Dunhill Blue which I've smelled in the mall, but Sculpture offers so much more. Please, if you're hesitant because of its creation date and lack of popularity outside of online reviews, I'm telling you to drop the fear. This fragrance is amazing, had to throw it in my top 5. Good longevity (8 hours), good projection (3 - 4 hours), excellent year round fragrance for all ages. Oh and for those that are quite new to this fragrance thing, when buying fragrances (especially when having them shipped to you), you must give the fragrance several wearings before finalizing your decision. When I first received this fragrance, my initial impression was that the notes were all jumbled together... it was not very pleasing and i couldnt break down the different phases. After a couple of wearings, I began to familiarize myself with the fragrance and the notes/fragrance began to settle from the abuse it probably received from shipping.

I finally got my own bottle of this one.
This is a GREAT fragrance BUT nothing I haven't smell before... it reminds me
Le Male Jean Paul Gaultier for men + Javari The Body Shop for men
in a better version of both.

It will DEFINITELY PLEASE YOUR NOSE (like many other sweet floral frags will do) but it's not very masculine though it has a feminine vibe like DHI (or DH)

The dry down is very good too.

--GD 19/3/2013

This was the first one i blind bought because of the great reviews and the extremely low price. First i was very disappointed because it smelled too synthetic, too floral, too much like a womens scent to me. Now givin it again a try for about a year, i actually like it. This is a very versatile frag as it is very fresh and carries a warm base with it. But to be honest, this (great) scent is still too floral for me and therefore misses masculinity. I will give it to my girl, I'm sure that this smells amazing on her. Nevertheless this scent has the potential to be a timeless classic.
If you're a man and you don't get disturbed or even like floral notes, then give this a try. If you like "Fleur du male" then you have to have this.
Score: 9/10 because it is more feminine then masculine.

I just received this in the mail after blind purchasing according to the recommendations I received for 'male fragrances suitable for women'. I was really tempted to try out some male fragrance, because I often find them to last longer with more projection than female fragrances.
Mmmmmmm... I really like this one!! Perfect for spring! Opens with a burst of citrus/aquatic freshness after which it settles to embrace you with a mellow, slightly sweet, woodsy touch created by the cedar/tonka/benzoin notes, while it maintains it's initial freshness...
I'm a young woman, but will wear this with pleasure!

This cologne is daytime casual scent for Spring season & this is powdery cologne. This cologne is similar with Desire for men by Alfred Dunhill.
Although Nikos is minor brand but quality is very nice.

Steve,
It seems as though you (and I think a few others) have got the wrong end of the stick.
24 and 24 Gold are two different fragrances and that's why you don't think Sculpture is anything like 24 Gold, because nobody else does either! It is however a very close copy of the original 24.

Edit: Sorry I should say that 24 is a very close copy of Sculpture rather than the other way around as Sculpture came first!

First, I have to completely disagree with the comment that this is an exact match of 24 gold by ScentStory.

This is nothing like 24 gold and there is a VERY distinct difference. 24 Gold is very sweet. The initial spray and the dry down is a honey - brown sugar - light powder.

Sculpture is unique. I've never smelled anything quite like it before. It's very much like the ingredient list says. They don't seem to make another accord combined.

It's fresh and aromatic with a bit of citrus. It's not a favorite and I wouldn't re-order it.

I've used it a couple times more and now I like it.
I even have the confidence to wear to the office.

Bottomline for me, never judge on first scent.

This is a good one.

Lovely fragrance but has an exact (and cheaper, in the UK at least) copy in the form of 24 by Scentstory. Tested both and I nor a couple of friends could distinguish between the two.

Inspite of being a girl, i wear it sometimes... don't ask me why... :) i Love smelling it on my guy too...but not as much as on myself...
It's so teasing.... like u get a whiff....and then it disappears calling u to find it...ppl have also been curious when i wear it... they love it... both the men and the women..
Wear it if u wanna tease them away! :D

I have tried it a few times more now and I'm starting to like it. I think I was blown away by the citrus in the top notes at first. After a while it gets better. I'm going to keep it for summer nights.

Why Martinello ? this parfume is fantastic!!!

Bought it blindly based on all the good reviews.
Yesterday I tried it for the first time and was disgusted by it. I literally got sick. After about 40 minutes I scrubbed it off. Do I have a bad bottle or should I give it another go. I think I'm going to offer it to my dad or something.

I'm a woman and I can say this smells sooooo damn sexy on a man. I smelled citrus in the opening but not kind that you would find in most perfumes with citrus.
Then...It turned out to be an unique warm sugary smell. One of the best!. I could not stop myself from sinffing my man everytime he wore this

Hello, I'm from Italy! it's a wonderful parfume ... it reminds me Burberry Classic and Hugo Boss Bottled. Sweet, fresh and sexy!

good smell
long lasting 10hrs on my skin
aromatic

8/10

nice scent, warm and sweet. bit synthetic. opens fresh with the lemon, it turns quickly in a warm sugary (benzoin/tonka bean . for me a daytime fall/winter scent. the orange blossom, mandarin tickles through the scent. i get a bit of cerutti black, but this is fresher.
give it a 8.5

if you want your girlfriend happy, jaust wear sculpture..

Awsome ......the best men perfume..

To me if I could describe this very uni-sex scent in two words it would simply be "mellow yellow." I can see why there are so many "likes" for this fragrance. Although it is a little synthetic it is not harsh or rude to the nose.
It reminds me of a less sweet Hanae Mori with a smoother lemon and a more vanilla vibe. It is not to my taste but I can easily see where other's who enjoy citrus based scents would really enjoy this pleasing fragrance.
I say this is a "definite try" especially for casual times in the warmer months, enjoy.

P.S. Longevity and projection are perfect!

Holy smell-aroni! this scent was a hidden and ignored gem for years for me!

I always thought on the scent from drugstore spritzes in the air ..well its nice but its very common and aquatic and will not stay on skin so i ignored it for years and years.

How I was wrong!
This scent is in my opinion one of the most sexiest and mesmerizing scents on the shelves till date!
Just bought myself a second bottle (big one)
I was wearing it for many occasions lately (picks out nikos from my 100+ perfume shelf)saw its liquid level getting down and down in a quick tempo and hated the fact i will run without soon.
The cherry on the pie is that it will give you compliments of women and men over and over and over again.
Truly unbelievable!
This scent is a captivated moment of the mediterranean ways of live.
Its fresh,unique but warm and cozy in a balanced mix of benzoin,amber and tonka bean in the base with nice orange blossom and citrus on top but you wont have to wait! the base shimmers through right from start in a few minutes after! its sweet but not too sweet. Its sillage is out of this world and the longevity is good either!!
Its well behaved. Its jawdropping for women.
Be sure you put on enough (6-8 sprays on chest and neck) and if you want a wow effect make yourself a decant and put it on in the middle of the night if its starts to getting closer to the skin.
Triple A class scent especially for summernights.
Will give your partner romantic vibes down the spine for sure.

Ps : Diesel Plus Plus smell-a-like? Nope.. not even close sorry.

Awsome awsome smell.Really sexy and how a proper man should smell.
Overall smell 8.5/10

well well nikos this perfume not too many know about its effect .. cheap ..longevity ..sexy ..i have tried it for 5 years now ..never will change it will always in my collection .. you will never gone wrong with it ......

I can say only one thing: This smell turns me on....

I blind bought based on all the positive reviews and I got to say, this is an awesome fragrance. I admit I find it very similar to The Dreamer, in overall smell and "purpose" as they are both romantic, enigmatic fragrances. I don't know what the common note is, sometimes these notes to describe don't really help and rather confuse further. But to the only thing I can think of is licorice, but not black licorice... maybe anice but its smooth. On some tries I could barely tell the difference between the two. but this one I would say is bit more icy, a bit more aquatic maybe than dreamer.
Overall this works well in summer, for me it lasts all day without problems. Its strong on my skin but in a good way.
For me it beats a lot of the "different" summer fragrances I have been trying out lately ( ex Perry Ellis 360, Ice Men, Mont Blanc Indiv. ) to me it has it all, a touch of sweetness, smoky, striking but not overbearing in high heat
10/10 especially for the price!

I would say that girls love this scent more than us men, but that's my opinion. It is really unique summer fragrance. After the opening, it is really nice and smooth. Unfortunately, it lacks lasting power and projection on my skin. What a shame coz it's a really great fragrance and is better that most other more expensive scents of that genre. I recommend wearing it if you're cuddling with your girl in front of TV (careful on the trigger) or for wearing it indoors. It's a little weak for outdoor use (at least on my skin). Overall; great, unique, discrete, delicate scent that is worth its price and which women love! Blind-buy worthy!

I read alot of good things about this. I blind bought it because I thought itigjt be something different.. Tr stunning bottle drew me in further. The bottle literally is like a sculpture. Now... While I think it's kinda cool, it just isn't different enough for me. Imma gender bender when it comes to scent and because I like alot of women's scents I look for something MORE in my men's scents. This is a somewhat fresh somewhat spicy scent with a big sexy bang! It still isn't my kinda guy scent. Certain guys would make this amazing. It feels like a cousin scent of cool water by davidoff. Same fresh watery vibe but with more spice and slightly drier. I've given this to my partner who adores cool water it will suit him much more.

After sometime the scent become exactly like versace dreamer

White sails on white caps of the coast of Santorini, sun kissed bodies on the beach and high above the white villas hug the rim of the sleeping volcano. Sculpture Pour Homme by Nikos is an escape to the Greek islands captured in this wonderful and imaginative flacon.

It is sharp on the opening notes like a salty spray of the Aegean Sea on hot skin. These notes of bergamot, lemon, mandarin and orange blossom are stunningly blended but what follows is the real treat. The mythic blends of Jasmine, Rose, Germanium and Lilly of the Valley form the heart and soul of this fragrance. These blend over time into the dry down of tonka bean, amber and cedar. This dry down trails slowly away leaving a warm summer glow like Helios setting in the western sea. Lovely.

Extremely sophisticated and unusual this very continental scent is a real find. Sculpture is a little dangerous and daring and so worth the try if you have the spirit to sail away with it.
Five gold stars *****

***Fellas, do not over spay as it will be overwhelming. Like fine wine this fragrance is best savored in small doses, one wrist, ear, collar bone at most. Remember with most scents, less is more.****

Not very bad and not the best! i have the 100 ml, Its fresh nice last on my skin not very long but its very cheap!.

A very appealing fresh-sweet scent that was my first blind buy, based on reviews. I was really hoping it would remind me of Minotaure, but alas, no. :( This is sweeter,younger, much less woody/amber.
I find this to be more similar to Dunhill Desire(M) with some Diesel Plus Plus(M)mixed in, but it is a more organic smelling composition. I have worn both for a long time, several bottles worth. Feels like I got more of the same lol but actually I prefer Sculpture.

It could be the male alien.

wonderful, unique,long lasting, special, fresh and glamurous at the same time

It's very likeable, while being lovable is a whole different story.

Almost blow for blow the same scent as Dunhill Desire Blue...this one might be a bit stronger, so if it was called, Dunhill Desire Blue Intense it would not have shocked me.

At the drydown it's similar to Versace's Bright Crystal.

In my final analyze of this scent. Bought this blindly because of the seemingly rather large accolades attributed to this scent coming from this site from customers who appear to have picked this scent as their signature fragrance after having sifted through thousands of fragrances that they've collected over the years. Its reputed attributes of sweetness and white floral made me decide that I could try wearing it myself although its predominantly marketed at the male market. I tried this on myself but unfortunately it didn't work with my body chemistry. Fortunately I decided to risk it and gave it to my Lover as a present hoping that it would smell better on him than on me. Wow-did it ever. He was very pleased with this scent. What's so nice about it is that this scent is not commonly available in most retails stores in my area so not everyone is wearing it.

I bought this bottle blindly due to the reviews I thought I must give this ago. Its early stages yet. I definitely think a woman could wear this scent but I want to try it out on my boyfriend first before giving my overall impression. I'll post back here soon.

A long lasting, dual-dimensional scent, which starts of all macho, then ends up all cute and cuddly...

I applied 6 heavy sprays

0-2 mins, old skool, slightly dated..

2 mins - 4 hours - approx 2 foot of good projection. The 1st dimension is all Italian stallion and 80% like Versace the Dreamer, yet there is at the same time the start of the 2nd dimension which blends a soft twist (20%), like a gentle undercoat, which masks the Dreamer and gives the scent its own personality. Yet this still feels like a basic scent..

4 hours - 7 hours - 2 inch projection. The 2nd dimension comes more and more to the fore..

7 hours - 16 hours - Very long lasting and with 1 inch projection which is rare. The macho male in the 1st dimension has been 80% replaced by the 2nd dimension - a more subtle, soft and alluring perfume... yet the macho hangs around - approx 20% - to remind the wearer that this soft stuff remains true to its masculinity - This is the best bit and the scent feels much more complex now and very nice

The opening attracts its partner,.. wheras the drydown makes them fall in love with you..

Good

Sweet citrus opening, then lovely floral aromatic smell. It is fresh, warm, sweet and really long lasting. There is nothing synthetic about this, smells very natural and brings good vibrations.I think this is wonderful spring and summer fragrance, but also suitable for any day when we need extra positive energy... Brightened my day instantly.
I bought it for my husband and he loves it. But, it is so beautiful that I think everybody should wear it... Me too :)

Lovely Unique, very strange and kind of magical aroma.

It smells vanilla at the drydown even if it isn't listed on the ingredients.

I bought it today and it smells perfect. It's an unusual perfume and its scent is fine.

a very good smell.reminding me "minotaure"by paloma picasso.very nice in winter time,imho one of the best sweet scents ever made .i love it.
my rank 4/5.

It is a very unique sweet/flowery fragrance. it is so nice and so well complimented. i was impressed by the refined smell. great for signature scent and you can no go wrong with that. give it a try. is from a greek designer but better than most of the other fragrance designers out there.

Unique and perfect!!!! I want it so badly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool and unique.
It is a truly remarkable scent at all levels.
Excellent as a signature scent.
I approve.
Nothing innovative new and absolutely fabulous, but good enough to be commented.

Chesco - Barcelona - 2002-2004 - What memories!

look Dunhill Red, Dunhill Blue

A very nice fragrance, actually a cheap treat now. I find it smelling like orange blossoms, with some vanilla hints( just a suggestion). Very unisex, but very sexy and very good for a designer fragrance. To me, it evokes Serge Lutens-Fleurs d'oranger( of course in a CK way- not as refined as SL). It does not resemble Le Male at all( maybe Classique), but it should be a top seller, rather than Bleu de Chanel and other things bottled as luxury perfumes.The lasting power is decent: not for an oriental, more for a floral oriental fragrance, but still- you don't get any issues with that. A woman can pull it off also, and in a very sensual manner.I don't know why they don't make a bath or body oil for two with this scent.

Love it! In my opinion it's a fresher version of Joop, less sugary but still very distinctive and sweet for men that don't mind wearing these kind of fragrances. Ideal for summer, the lasting power is not as long as joop but its also less overwhealming.

Women can wear it too.

I love it so much.Bought it blindly,will get another one.love it,love it,love it.

It is the daily signature scent of my husband and he wore this, when we had known each other, which was 12 years ago.
He got the advice to buy this from his exgirl.

It is absolutely must have for guys, which want to be hugged from us, women. It is so adorable, not penetrant, tender and delicate! I love this!!!!

Not for the most masculine of men. It is, however, a very sensual scent with a vanillic drydown. Women can pull this off easily. Very airy, mysterious and simply headturning. Sillage is good, longevity is average however.
DO NOT blind-buy, and especially this fragrance. It definately is one of those love or hate scents.

A unique sugary smell.
The sweetness is not coming from vanilla like many other .It came from sugar and benzoin.
Very appealing scent to my nose but not that quality.

It contains ELEVEN BILLION % sugar and is probably responsible for the massive rise in diabetes in the United States.

Intimately resembles to DUNHILL DESIRE, except that SCULPTURE has its unique "stinging" starting top!

Both are magnificently refreshing, if I had to choose one of them, I'd like the stinginess of SCULPTURE!

Notes / scent: 3
Longevity / sillage: 4
Overall / subjective feelings: 3.5
Description: strange, a bit overwhelming, in which next to oriental something disturbingly sweet lurks
Short opinion: definitely not for everyone, and it would be that one will love and hate the other

I love it! It's very original and unique fragrance... Very long lasting.

very nice unique perfume. everyone likes this and is indeed something special.

This is nice - reminds me of a muted down Minotaure (Paloma Picasso)

This one is so sweet, makes my head pain alot, for real.

This is one fantastic warm and sensual scent!

A very sharp opening penetrates your nose and opens it up for the fantastic fresh - but by far not as lemonny as you'd expect from the notes displayed - topnotes.

The topnotes fade away pretty quickly to make room for and blend in with the very light and flowery middle notes.

Quickly - I'd say within the hour - the vanilla - which is not listed above but is most definitely there! - and hints of tonka bean and amber shine through, leaving only very light traces of the top and middle notes behind.

What remains is a very warm and heavenly scent. I've heard people compare it to Le Male, but Nikos Sculpture is far more sophisticated, subtle and classy than it's blue bottled loudmouth colleague.

I'm not even halfway through my last 50 ml bottle, but have already bought the next 100 ml.

Nikos Sculpture is a fantastic scent for any occasion!

I bought this in Tokyo last May at Loft in Shibuya. Very nice indeed.

Great fragrance
at first it is specific citrus and little aquatic but hour or so later it start's to be wonderfouly sweet without too much spicy, someone sayd "sea of sugar" and I see it pretty much like that. It is long lasting and really nice.

one of the best perfumes in the market. Very Nice, warm, fresh and masculine.

this is my secret perfume:P and i had got it in 1995

One of me first perfumes. Is fresh and strong.

This is Beautiful, vibrant, and full of Joy. Enjoy your life with!

this s my best perfume ... more masculine & very sexy ..ask me guys

I bought three bottles of this one! I think it's a great cologne to wear during the day. Fresh, and not a common scent.

My boy friend's perfume. Love it on him, but not when we go on a date in the evening. its more like a day perfume. Also, its not very long lasting which is a shame, cuz it has a really good smell, and i wish i could sniff it for a longer time.

One of my best fragance as it has one of the best vanilla scents, all'thou feels a bit syntetic (i'm not a fan of vanilla scents). It's fresh & a bit sweet at the opening, but love the drydown... The sweetness adds to the sensual part but still keeps a comfy-light mood. Love it.
