What does Nefs smell like?

It opens on fig, honey and saffron, with violet and sage adding a faint floral and herbal edge to the sweetness. The heart holds rose, jasmine, osmanthus, geranium and nutmeg; the base is led by whisky, cinnamon, leather and oud, while vanilla and amber settle it into a creamy, warm finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated very strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is classed as unisex. Alexandria Fragrances Nefarious and Scentiments Honey Oud have a close profile.
