Gentle iris beauty
You know when love suddenly strikes? So unexpectedly. But it still hits you like a bolt of lightning. Your heart leaps and sings. And I want to dance.
Yes, it's almost new. The name is perfectly chosen. I actually know one or two fragrances that are similar to Nearly Nu. I love them all. So I am not surprised that I have also fallen in love with this fine Irish beauty by Michael Schrammel. It starts woody with delicate powdery iris, just like my wonderful Bois d'Iris by Van Cleef & Arpels. This basic tendency also remains. As it progresses, it also reminds me a little of Eau Duelle by Diptyque. I loved this fragrance for so long, until one day something bothered me. It was changed. Or my perception changed. It can always be both. But here it is completely absent, the disturbing note. Everything here is noble, delicately gentle, without scratchiness. Without pinching.
The base is then almost a little classic. A vanilla that reminds me of the nuances of Guerlinade. Not really my thing. But since the powderiness of the iris remains, as well as this light woody note with a hint of incense, I find access to this vanilla, which is often a little too serious and almost antique for my nose. Lyn Harris has already managed here and there, for example in Heliotrope, to bring me closer to these very classical traits. Michael Schrammel has done the same with Nearly Nu.
Even though this fragrance is nothing new, as the name suggests, it is simply beautiful. It combines so many olfactory details that are so beautiful to me that it makes me dream. It is, of course, at the top of my wish list. As it and the entire brand are currently only available in the USA, I will have to be patient at first. Not my greatest strength. I know that. One day you will be mine, you gentle beauty.
Many thanks to Floyd for the testing opportunity
