NILUFER Extrait De Parfum
by Nilafar du Nil
Nilufer Extrait de Parfum by Nilafar du Nil is a rich, nutty fougere with an elegant balance of sweet almond, vanilla, and lavender. The opening features a bright, slightly herbal blend of bergamot, citron, mint, and geranium, giving way to a softly spiced heart of cinnamon, heliotrope, and aromatic lavender. The base settles into a warm amber-like glow with hazelnut, atlas cedar, musk, and vanilla, creating a drydown that is smooth, powdery, and quietly luxurious. It evolves with subtle shifts over time—almond becomes more distinct on skin, and the lavender develops into a masculine, resinous warmth. The scent feels polished and refined, with a soft gourmand edge that avoids cloying sweetness.
