Another blind buy gone right. The gardenia is beautiful and creamy. I would describe the woman who wears this as being feminine, humble, classy and timeless. Something in this smells familiar, but at the same time, I get a very fresh and mordern vibe too. I am using this during hotter days because I feel the florals in this are really elevated on my skin with heat. However, I don't like this in cold weather.
As Galya said this is a iodate and sea breeze. Much better sea scent than the new one "fiore d'onda" by erbolario. While tiarè is a sweet sea, fiore d'onda stinks (and lasts for hrs!!). Anyway l'erbolario is able to provide beautiful fragrances at a very reasonable price. Well done.
Lavande 31 ✽✽✽
What opens up with bright, sparkling bergamot and lavender, unfortunately dries down to a citrusy, fougère bathroom refresher. Good longevity though.
I like this scent, it's no too complicated and perfect for summer. For 10 dollars a bottle, i'm not complaining at all. I feel that this performs more like a body spray than an actual eau de parfume, but i'm not saying that it's a bad thing. This is light and airy, fruity and fresh. I can see this fitting in well with my fruity fragrances in my wardrobe.
My first blind buy. It was on sale and could not pass it up. The first time I smelled it all I could smell was a musk peppery note and I hated it! I put it away and it stayed there for a while. A few months went by and I decided to give it another try. I was still skeptical because it is super strong when I first put it on but then it calms down and it has this gorgeous citrusy smell. Super fresh. It has some peppery that makes it more mature. This is my go to in the summer months.
This is another very original smelling offering from Nu_Be that is honestly quite difficult to describe (especially at 12:30 at night!).
I get a bit of a boozy opening for the first few minutes, that then transitions into a subtle citrus, by way of bergamot, and floral in the form of a gorgeous iris concrete and a svelte damask rose note. The scent seems to remain unusually close to the skin in the opening, but once warmed up sufficiently, it blooms quite well into a unique and very difficult to place accord that I'd say has something to do with a combination of dry wood, herbaceous clary sage, lemon-esque benzoin and maybe a little tobacco hovering in the background.
The duration of this scent seems quite acceptable and this heart accord lasts quite a while before You're treated to another metamorphosis based around dark patchouli and one of the smokiest vetivers I've come across. In fact that smokiness is there from almost the outset, but it doesn't seem to reveal itself as vetiver based until we dry down quite a bit.
All in all, I really dig Helium. As far as my personal tastes go, it's close to my favourite from this house, depending on the occasion, but not top of my list for a bottle buy.
It's a smokey, warm, herbaceous and woody number that sucks you in with its floral, feminine side to begin with, before taking you for a cigar and a cognac in the latter stages. Great work indeed! Nu_Be are fantastic really...
It's a sweet, honeyed floral with crisp edges, I think it's fairly decent. My daughter has it and I enjoy it on her. That being said, this isn't a childish fragrance at all (this kid surprises me sometimes with her choices 😊).
This smells as if you hung a linen shirt over a honeysuckle shrub, while your fingers were sticky with melon juice, in the sunshine, with some honey as well. There's also some other white floral-ness in it wafting around.
It manages to smell sweet, cooling, clean, and uplifting. It doesn't have a very expensive smell about it, and you can discern that it isn't high quality, but it doesn't smell cheap or tacky either. Longevity is poor, but it projects well for a little while.
It's a good versatile fragrance, it feels like happiness, and it's an easy-reach. The color and asthetic of the bottle is perfect, and the look aligns precisely with the fragrance.

A light and transparent forest scent that’s thinned and obscured by a misty drizzle. But honestly, I find this one a bit peculiar.
The evergreens, dirt, and wildflowers are a nice combination, and I like that this doesn’t go into deep dark pine territory as it easily could; though I love that genre, this take sets Olympic Rainforest apart. There’s a soft earthiness from the soil, balanced by wet greenery, but then it all rests on a sweet but almost minty base that reminds me a bit of the original flavor of Trident gum. Maybe that’s just the way the camphoraceous balsams express themselves against the softer backdrop, but I also get the sense that it’s an odd whiff of some underlying synthetics that are just a bit too dialed up for me, trying to overemphasize the smell of rain.
I’m glad some others seem to find this a true-to-place take on the Pacific Northwest. I don’t dislike it, but it’s also not quite clicking for me.
IMO, this is a beautiful frag. Soft, cuddly, and slightly masculine. This is a reach, but to my nose this smells extremely similar to Scentsy's "My Dear Watson" wax melts.
Vanilla, lavender, amber, and a sweet cinnamon are what I detect, though the last isn't a listed note.
Lasts around 5 hours but becomes a skin scent after 4. Definitely worth a sample, and they're free from Sephora.
Fresh, herbal, camphorous. Green, all spices in the pot kinda fragrance. I’d like it as a room spray, not sure about wearing it. I love SMN for its history and story mostly.

Incensy sandalwood with a tiny bit of citrus at top. Interesting.
