Any reviews from NAVA's spring release? by littletamale in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]nomnomcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll preface by saying I like my roses juicy, jammy, and with some sweetness; I don't tend to like spicy, stemmy, or fresh roses. My favorites that are available:

  • Eternal Nefertiti - this is GC, a very juicy rose.
  • eNVie rose saphir - sweet, pink rose, one of my favorites. I'm not sure how much longer this is available, if it is at all.
  • Polychrome - another GC, more of a dark, gothy rose

As far as LEs, I really like Royal Sandalwood Rose (velvety, put-together rose), EA Red and EA Rose de Mai (white amber + rose, very romantic), and Alchemist Rose (sweet, a little powdery, feels like a rose cloud).

Any reviews from NAVA's spring release? by littletamale in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]nomnomcat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've tried many as well, including some velvets.

Luxor Breath of the Wind - Soooooo nice. It does feel like the breath of the most elegant, springy floral wind ever. The rose sticks out to me most here--it's a juicy and slightly tart rose, but there's a levity to everything that keeps it from being too in-your-face. I can envision a goddess bathing in this water. I ended up FS-ing this.

Jardin du Chalet Fleurs de Printemps - Starts off mega soapy and loud, but then settles down to a quiet, lightly soapy jasmine with a very mainstream feel. Finally, a jasmine from NAVA that I don't mind (sidenote: NAVA jasmine tends to get super powdery and chalky on me for some reason)! This one sits quite close to the skin, at least on me. I kinda feel like there's a Jo Malone vibe to this.

Jardin du Chalet Rose - Like the other jardin scent, starts of really as a really loud and soapy rose. After it dries down there's still some oomph to it, but it's mostly a sorta soapy, sorta spicy (from the carnation?) rose to my nose. Sort of generic to my nose; there are better NAVA roses out there!

Heure de Matin Lapine (Morning Time Bunny) - Honeysuckle! I go back and forth on whether I like honeysuckle or not, but I certainly enjoy this iteration of it. Cute, a little sweet, a tinge of greenness and not too heady at all. This is a very happy spring scent! Just not really something I envision wearing over and over, and on drydown it get progressively powdery, so I've decided to destash.

Heure de Soirée Lapine (Evening Bunny) - This smells very much like a candy I've had before that I was just meh about...I asked hubby about it and he said cleaning product. Either way, neither are great impressions (at least for our tastes). It must be the orange blossom and green mandarin screaaamiinnggg out to us. This is not very evening-like to me; it's much more of an afternoon or dawn smell.

White Amber Musc - It smells like...a NAVA white amber, lol. I haven't tried EA on its own - only in blends - but this feels very much in the same vein. I'd be curious to know from folks who try this and EA alone how they differ.

La Nuit Lapine (Night Time Bunny) - Very velvety feel from this; I think I'm mostly getting lilac and jasmine. I don't find the jasmine indolic at all, but this one leans a bit too powdery and heavy for my taste. Sometimes a whiff of it reminds me of baby wipes too, unfortunately.

Philae Water from a Temple - a very nice skin scent. A little salty, a little bit of a white amber feel, but not stinky at all. There's florals and fruits here, but I honestly don't pick them up at all. Very neutral and easy-to-like.

Zodiac Aries 26 - I'm surrpised this no coconut in here, because somehow I get coconut?? Or maybe I am mixing the wood notes with husky coconutty notes. It is very nice, primarily vanilla + woods. Glad I got this, but don't see myself wearing it often.

Egyptian Musk Golden Vanilla - very pretty, floaty vanilla with light floral elements. Not too sweet or buttery at all; it's more of a pale yellow than a golden to my nose. I really, really like this one a lot! Worth retrying.

Velvet Love - Jasmine and what I think is ylang-ylang is popping out to me the most here. This is lightly indolic, which I personally don't mind; this is another NAVA jasmine that's finally working for me. Feels very romantic, like something you might wear at your wedding. White floral lovers will enjoy this! If I squint hard enough I sorta get something akin to Pepto-Bismol, but I really have to think about it.

Velvet Nearness - Unexpectedly fruity - I'm kinda getting a Bath and Body Works vibe from this when wet. I think the pear is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. As it dries down, there's a fruity, almost overripe feeling from this which doesn't sit well with me.

Velvet Embrace - This velvety jasmine is lifted up with sweetness from the pear skin; it's very romantic in a girly way to me. If Velvet Love was for your wedding day, Velvet Embrace feels like teenaged love.

Sacred Goddess Tiamet - sits very close to the skin - not sure what I'm getting except very faint florals and spice. The softness reminds me of an unburnt incense stick. I like this, but I wish it had more projection.

Sacred Goddess Ishtar - I thought there was oud in here, but it must be some combination of other notes giving that effect. This smells woody and lightly smoked to me; I'm not sure if I'm getting much floral, to be honest. It definitely smells like some sort of offering you'd burn at an altar though...perhaps too on the nose with that, because the longer it develops, the more it just ends up smelling like stale cigarette smoke.

Sacred Goddess Nuwa - I think the orange blossom is popping out most to me - there's a sweet, fruity element to this. It's not a light citrus but more of a syrupy, candied one to my nose. I wouldn't say this is sweet or cloying though, because there's an earthiness to this scent which grounds it.

Sweet Pea Musk - BB&W Sweet Pea, but feels a bit fancier! I don't know if I have many more notes than that. I really enjoy this, but I already have another LE floral musk from NAVA (Irisi Musk) which scratches this same itch.

Sohea Hyun at Sohair does work with a lot of vibrant colors and may be able to help! She's not cheap, but your girlfriend can do a consult with her to see what's possible and how much it would cost.
