L`eau Nirique Stephanie de Saint-Aignan for women and men

This smell is deep and "round"; no sharp, harsh or bitter notes. It gives me a feeling of comfort and well-being. The jasmine and other flowers smell wonderful; they are not too sweet, they blend well with a clear, fresh white musk; I don't get any sweet coconut or banana either. To me it is a smell not for summer, it's not fresh enough for that. On my skin it's a very warm scent that I will be wearing on winter afternoons when I want to cuddle up with a good book.

L'Eau Nirique is a pleasant and sprightly perfume. It opens with a lemon-custard note that is positively effervescent, followed by the tuberose and jasmine. As it settles into the skin, I get the coconut, mercifully not strongly enough to make me think of suntan lotion, more as a support for the tuberose accord, and just a smidgen of banana, thankfully not at all prominently, as I dislike banana. It's got a sweetness that I wouldn't normally like, but somehow it works with that sparkling lemon blossom and the heady flowers; then I notice the musk in the base coming up to add its warmth to the overall composition. That lovely top note lingers, too. It's a nice little number to have on hand for sultry summer days & evenings...Perfect for dreamy hot days when you might want to lie in the shade with some jasmine tea wearing this scent and as little else as possible. No quibbles about this perfume other than that I wish it was an eau de parfum rather than a edt for better development and longevity. I got this perfume at a bargain price, unsniffed, and honestly didn't expect to like it all that much from the notes listed; but it is a nice departure from my usual perfume leanings. Makes me want to try her Berberiades rather badly...
