OrientalWhat does Nahema (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Bergamot, green notes and peach give a lively fruity freshness at first, softened by rose and aldehydes. At the heart, hyacinth, jasmine, Bulgarian rose and ylang-ylang build a full floral body. In the base, vanilla and sandalwood sweeten it and settle it into a woody, slightly oriental warmth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though daytime and office wear also get votes. Its character is mostly seen as feminine and classic. Guerlain Nahema (Parfum) and Revlon Jontue (Cologne) have a close profile.
