| I do not know if I can answer for Sylvie but Nahema in my opinion is very much unlike any perfume mentioned in your list. (except Love In White by Creed which I have not got a chance to sample yet. But, I guess it is a more transparent, crispy, ozonic floral according to the reviews I read, isn't it?) Even in Guerlain's range, you cannot really find a fragrance with a character similar to Nahema. If you really have to have an example, Chamade may make a good comparison because they both starts with fresh hyacinth and strong aldehyde and shares many common notes. But, then again, they are very different in heart notes (Chamade: Jasmine & blackcurrant buds, Nahema: Rose & Peach). For me, Nahema is a very fruity-floral scent brimmed with glistens of joy and happiness. The rose scent gives her a fiery character while peach adds a delicate atmosphere of innocence; very classic but deliciously & glamorously desirable. It is that kind of fragrance to make you feel finely dressed-up for a formal presence. I have found it is described as a hard-to-wear fragrance in some reviews but I think it is actually much more wearable than Chamade because it has a much softer character, which may be caused by the less strong aldehyde note. If you can wear famous aldehyde perfumes such as Chanel No.5, Hermes Calèche, Lanvin Arpège, etc., there should not be any problem for you to wear this. It is seductive as Shalimar, youthful as Champs-Élysées, luminous as I'instant, and sumptuous as Samsara. Give it a try. You may love it.:) |
