Nanadebary · 2005

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Nanadebary Green is a fresh, green scent that pairs lemon and bergamot with basil and cardamom; it is classed as feminine and has been discontinued. Lemon and bergamot give the top a bright citrus lift, while basil and cardamom bring a green, spicy heart. The base of thyme, musk and vetiver settles into a woody, lightly sweet finish, with floral and fruity touches staying in the background. Longevity is rated moderate, though that rests on only a small number of votes. With its fresh, green, citrus character, it suits those looking for a light scent for daytime.

Bronze

8.0

Nanadebary · 2004

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Nanadebary Bronze is a floral and fruity oriental for women, with sweet, gourmand and spicy shades on top; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is moderate and its sillage good. It is made for women, and its sweet, spicy build suits someone who likes warm, dense scents. The votes behind longevity and sillage are few, so those ratings are only a rough guide. Mandarin orange and ylang-ylang open bright and fruity. Jasmine and tuberose form a floral heart. In the base, cinnamon, iris and cedar bring a spicy, powdery, woody warmth, and the sweetness never fully steps back.
