  Pity the current version isn’t more opulent; it smells wonderful. I read it was green rose, hyacinth, and aldehydes, but beyond the first few minutes, I don’t see that at all. Within moments, it turns very fruity: peach, passion fruit… making the rose, the absolute protagonist, look red, juicy, and syrupy. As it dries, a floral accord emerges reminiscent of Champs Élysées; I think it’s a mix of ylang and lilacs (for the notes, hehe…), and the peach also plays a part. It’s a high-quality accord, very balsamic and relaxing. A creamy sandalwood is also hinted at in the dry down.

  Nothing beats a natural rosebush, but nothing stops the shine of Nahema. Real roses would be jealous of something so artificial and confident; it’s insatiable, leaving no room for anything else. It’s all her, the authentic, eternal one while natural flowers have their end. Many will hate it for so much protagonism, but for me, it’s one of the best rose essences—perhaps histrionic, but I’ve learned to love it. It’s rare because the green notes don’t steal the spotlight and balance perfectly with the rest.

  What a great review, Selene! I’ve never tried it, but your comment makes me want to look for it. Plus, I have a weakness for Guerlain classics.

  It’s a classically romantic, almost cliché, bed of roses in a room full of antique toys and porcelain dolls. A vintage floral scent that perfectly captures the aesthetic of an era when Guerlain proved its mastery with powdery floral notes. It’s a portrait of vintage roses: coquettish, sharp, and pure perfume history.

  It transports me to an old dressing room in shades of burgundy and gold, with carved frames, feathers, and roses on the table. It’s like the scene in ‘Chaplin’ (1992) where Robert Downey Jr. walks in and all the women rush to powder and dress for the vaudeville show. It smells of aldehydes, old peach, and unalcoholic macerated perfumes flooding the room, mixing with lacquer, lipstick, and sandalwood—true backstage aromas… It has me completely lost! 🕯️ 9.5/10.🔥
