Description

“A unique original scent composition featuring exotic notes related to the Baba-Nyonya (Peranakan Chinese) heritage and culture in Malaysia. One of the most well-known things that relates to the Baba-Nyonya culture must be the
“Nyonya kuih”, which means Nyonya dessert snack. We have distilled the essence of “Nyonya kuih” into Eau De Nyonya. Besides the delicacies, Eau De Nyonya has also captured the essence of a Baba-Nyonya mansion — elegant, aged, exotic. This is the fragrance that would bring your soul to the land of
Baba-Nyonya while extending a very warm welcome to you with the warmest smile and greetings — “Selamat Datang!” (“Selamat Datang”: “Welcome” in Malay language.)

The opening of this fragrance features the scents of Tapai Pulut (a Peranakan sweet dessert made of fermented glutinous rice) and a rich concoction featuring Pandan (screwpine) leaf mixed with coconut milk and Gula Melaka
(Malaccan coconut sugar). Apart from the sweet combo that “Nyonya kuih” is famous for, the scent also shines with a floral heart including jasmine sambac and violet, enlightened with rare natural Orris butter. The juxtaposition between the floral bouquet and Nyonya desserts creates an interesting effect of East-meets-West gourmand-like scent that smells like no other. In a later stage, a touch of cinnamon and chocolate rounds off the bouquet. Sandalwood and benzoin resin follows. As the fragrance continues to unfold itself, a
combination of suede, ambergris and musk, with a touch of smoke, makes a smooth and soothing ending.” – a note from the brand.

Eau De Nyonya by Auphorie is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Eau De Nyonya was launched in 2016. Eau De Nyonya was created by Eugene Au and Emrys Au. Top notes are rice, sweet notes, pandanus and coconut milk; middle notes are jasmine sambac, violet, orris root, cinnamon, dark chocolate, sandalwood and benzoin; base notes are suede, ambergris, musk and smoke.

    Wow! So rich, sweet and gourmand. Exotic sweets from the Far East. It does smell tasty.
    The rice, coconut and sweet is very evident. The spices are low key on me. I can’t say it develops at all on me. The resins provide a dense base.
    Good longevity and sillage.

    Really nice composition, reminds me of a stronger version of Jeaux de Peau by Serge Lutens.
    I get all the gourmandness at once, the effect is like stepping out of the plane that just landed in Asia – boom!
    The problem with most of the Auphorie perfumes is that they don’t last long on my skin, 1 hour and they become skin scent.. I don’t know what the issue is, I guess I can blame my own chemistry.

    The opening has a strong, realistic pandan note that smells exactly like the pandan buns from my local asian bakery (the lotus mooncakes are my favorite, but the fragrant pandan buns are a close second!). For those who haven’t smelled pandan – it’s nutty, green, and slightly toasted-caramel smelling, sometimes with notes of popcorn. It pairs nicely with the creamy rice notes. Next, Eau de Nyonya transitions into a delicate orris-violet-benzoin scent, with the pandan and rice fading to the background. It’s still a really pleasant scent but a bit more old fashioned and powdery – I preferred the unique gourmand opening. Good projection and average longevity. Overall, a like but not love. I’m interested to see more from Auphorie!

    To my nose, this opened very green followed immediately by strong dark chocolate. After several minutes it has fused to an old school violet-soapy scent. I was expecting oak moss, or another quite classic ingredient to be listed which I hadn’t noticed before. Perhaps I’m smelling the ambergris or orris root. And a salty note too. After 30 minutes or so… sweet rice with chocolate drizzled over. The padanus in the background. After 90 minutes, here’ s the gourmand dessert.
    The dry down is divine. Smooth creamy sweet rice and coconut and padanus.

    An unusual fragrance, sweet and smoky… I was surprised, I never heard anything like it, is sweet but not too much. The rice and the coconut milk are the notes I can hear more… it is perfectly balanced,cinnamon accents and gourmand notes in harmony with floral and woody notes, something very special! Is a mysterious parfum everything to discover, I really love it!

    I ordered 4 samples from the house of Auphorie and, though hard-pressed to pick a favorite, have fallen inextricably for this rich and mysterious beauty.
    Everything thing about this fragrance speaks quality and luxury. I am reminded of bit of the legendary Guerlinade at the base of Guerlain’s classic old school fragrances such as L’Heure Bleue and Mitsouko; it is the foundation upon which the rest of the composition is built.
    Though described as gourmand thanks to the Malaysian rice dessert (Pulut) association, it is far from an overwhelmingly sweet and gooey mess that most gourmands become on my skin. Instead, the sweetness here is subtle, balanced out as it is by notes of jasmine sambac and a surprising, non-metallic violet. A smooth & subtle cinnamon-chocolate combo melds with the intoxicating ambergris/sandalwood an hour in and stays this way for the duration, which is the rest of the day.
    I will admit to finding the opening a bit disconcerting; it ventured into sharp Yankee candle pungency which is very off-putting. This impression is fleeting, however for I was rewarded with the spellbinding drydown. Warm and sensuous, heady and rich; I cannot even find the proper adjectives to convey how deliriously addictive Eau de Nyonya is to me. I would place it an an altogether new category of floral/oriental/barely gourmand. Such quality and class are seldom found in modern perfumery. Top that off with eternal longevity and mighty sillage and we have quite a seductive beauty here.
    And for those to whom it matters, Auphorie is big into conservation of environment and wildlife. Their fragrances are vegan and never tested on animals.
