Somewhat feminine, elegant with rose, violet and grass the dominant fragrances. Great sillage and longevity, as always from this house. Can be worn for all occasions but best for casual, informal occasions.

Season/Time of Day – I prefer to use this one in the warmer months, day or night.
Projection – I did get noticed, I didn’t get a compliment.
Longevity – I get 12hrs consistently.

Ninfea made me smile. A huge smile without showing my teeth, as if I was extremely satisfied. Ninfea is a dream for the lover of violet-candy-without-being-sticky-sweet scents. I imagined the concept of infancy while inhaling this perfume. Not a child wearing this – but just a child itself and its carefree life. Running around on the street, stopping in front of a candy shop, playing in a meadow, then getting tired and wanting to go to sleep. I try, but the nymph-aspect doesn’t really come to my mind. For me nymphs are light but sultry, innocent but mysterious. I missed the sultry and mysterious part. The violets do have this watery but earthy feeling though, which could be associated with those legendary nymphs. I still don’t know if I would be craving for this (I’m quite satisfied in the violet-department with my collectors edition of Insolence and Love by Chloé), but it’s a very nice one to consider if you’re still in the search for your perfect sweet-but-fresh violet interpretation.

This smells like the hedges of a summer cottage on a warm night right after the grass has been mown: honeysuckle, fat pale overblown roses, a very slight impression of violet pastille. It’s also a little soapy and powdery at points. The overall impression is a bit childlike and simple — this would be a safe bet to give to an extremely lucky little girl as a first perfume.

After an initial blast of fresh green notes that evokes its namesake (Water Lilies), NInfea settles quickly into a long-lasting powdery rose scent (do I smell oakmoss & musk which are not listed in the pyramid?) .
A familiar and relatively linear composition, despite the hefty price-tag. However, as a previous reviewer mentioned, the intensity of its dry-down may imply that Profumum Roma probably uses high quality materials. On me it’s still going strong after 5 hours. IMO, Ninfea is an easier one to wear than many of the other PR creations.
As with every bottle in PR’s line, the understated splash bottle comes in a nicely-cushioned box complete with an atomizer cap, travel-size rollerball and a funnel to suit every occasion.

I have tried Ninfea on my skin a couple of times. Every time I try it on, I’m mesmerized by it.
It is elegant and curious at the same time – love the mix of rose and violet.
Unfortunately, it costs €200 in Sweden. Ninfea is totally worth it, though.

I think Gosha is quite correct- I also smell the lovely (and unexpected!) fragrance of dill hidden in the folds beneath the rose. It’s that lovely aroma of a certain Persian pilaf that I love so much, adding a “green-ness” to this humble and introspective composition- such shyness in comparison to the rest of this house’s offerings!
I was actually quite taken with it until powdery iris became prominent at the 1-hour mark.

Ninfea is a beautiful fragrance that only disappoints if you look at the price tag. In my search for a perfect rose, I came across this fragrance and I really, really liked it.
Like other PR scents I have tried so far, it is a simple fragrance- a fresh combination of rose and violet. After an initial wave of rose, a wave of violet comes, and the scent keeps on changing like this. It is a fragrance that is very much close to the nature. There are not many additional notes here, so it really does feel like a rose garden in the morning.
But anyways, as already mentioned, Profumum Roma is an expensive brand and in this case, I am not sure whether I would like to spend 200 GBP + for a bottle.

The only Profumum which I can wear and which has not the ugly plastical chemical note in it that I despise..the ugliest was Battito de Aglio. All ohter perfumes by this brand do not impress me. Ninfea really smells like something natural (the violet, the rose), like it.
arhangel0991 – :
This smells like fresh rose and violets in a freshly cut garden/mowed lawn. Nice if you like that sort of thing. I would not buy this even if it were cheap because it’s not my sort of scent. I heard somewhere that apparently this brand use top notch ingredients so maybe that’s why the price is so high.

Sadly I am really disappointed with Ninfea. Ok – it’s not a bad scent (if you don’t think of the price), simple, powdery/floral, but having tested a few exceptional ones by Profumum, I might be a bit spoiled. This is simple, but while the others are simple flawless perfection, this one lacks the luxurious air of things done with impeccability. It is also the first Profumum fragrance that doesn’t last on me.
There is a bizarre note at the very opening, that only lasts a fraction of a second, but I can’t help it, it reminds me of dill of all things. That, however, disappears very quickly and all there is left pretty much unchanged for the rest of the shortish life of this scent, is really just flowery powder.
