Nenufar is a perfume from the Scents of Time collection of recreated ancient fragrances.
"Head spacing the substances found (stealing their aromas through scientific instrumentation) as with Nenúfar, the flower's perfume was diffused into a polymer filter with the air around it and then reconstructed as the aroma of the Blue Lotus, a bloom sacred to all Pharaohs. The flower's chemistry contained a hallucinogen, myristicin. Egyptians got high steeping the petals in wine and drinking the wine. (The poem 'The Land of the Lotos Eaters' depicts this). The chemistry of the flower's perfume is kept intact with the humble nutmeg spice, which contains myristicin." (Scents of Time)
Nenufar, the sacred scent of Cleopatra. A transparent floral-green blue water lily bouquet, with the pungent aroma of nutmeg rounded by light powdery notes with angelica and almond.
The fragrance is now available in 100ml, but in September it will also available in 50ml bottles and sets of two fragrances of 50ml.
David Pybus was created this perfume together with the Catalan nose Montserrat Moline.
More read in the article Scents of Time by David Pybus Nenufar was launched in 2007.

I've never met a Scents of Time fragrance I didn't like and Nenufar is no exception. It reminds me of a fruity-floral-aquatic with a powdery flair keeping it just above the gourmand radar. Aquolina Pink Sugar would probably love to grow up and be like this one. It has a timelessness to it suitable for fragrance lovers of all ages, I could see Cleopatra or any number of "regal" women falling under it's spell. Makes me feel like dressing up real special like when I wear it. A real spirit lifter. Blue lotus . . .
absolutely amazing.
Either both my husband and myself are anosmic to Nenufar or, frankly, its so barely there as to be non-existent.
When it did develop a tiny bit - Julius and Anthony must have been frantically pressing their noses to Cleo's wrists to be seduced by this perfume - Nenufar was a faint but agreeable sweet floral.
Emphasis on faint, as in "distant echo", "barely there" and "why bother?".
No sillage, no longevity = 1 out of 10.
Still, fabulous must have perfumes have come from the Scents of Time line - Pyxis and Maya, for instance, but as one of my favorite reviewers at Fragrantica would say, "Desolee" about Nenufar.
Great name (water lily in Spanish), great concept (Cleopatra's perfume), but in execution? Not so much.
Nenufar is such an amazing perfume. Extremly feminine and sensual, the scent of the Goddess!!!
Finally this perfume is available in USA at www.aquadeluna.com. You can even order a sample before you buy it. I just love it !!!
A transparent floral-green blue water lily bouquet, with the pungent aroma of nutmeg rounded by light powdery notes with angelica and almond - I finally found the perfume which smell intensely personal, it's like it was made for me! "Nenufar" ohhh so gorgeous.. yes, love at first smell! I am very pleased by this sacred scent: so clean, pure, innocent!
Watery and cool , perfect on a hot day .
Ooooh, this smells so pretty to me! A floral "aquatic" in the loosest sense of the word. Aquatic because it's light and soft, yes. The water lily and blue lotus are very prominent in this lovely linear perfume, but rounded out nicely with almond and nutmeg. If pastel blue had a color, it would certainly be this!
Extremely feminine, soft, subtle, sweet, refreshing, and just a touch of gourmand. What a composition this is! My only complaint is that it didn't last longer than three hours on my skin.
And for the record, my significant other was significantly impressed, too! :)
I can't wait to try Pyxis...
