Is this related to Rubyat due to it being in the same bottle and cap ??

I have got to try this perfume!! The type is one that I love and also I have a pleasant association with the name, though not as sweet and sentimental as having a horse with that name!
In a WWII movie, actor Theodore Bikel (one of my favorite folk singers) was told to invent a song to sing in a cabaret scene – he plays a Russian officer in the movie. When he asked what kind of song they wanted, the director told him to just sing about anything or nothing, so he just started singing Nitchevo over and over! (hehehe) I didn’t understand the joke at the time, but when I heard the background story I found it very amusing!!

I have a mini of this gifted to me by my parents. It’s not really my type of scent but that’s not why I own it – it has a very special meaning to me because my first horse is named after it.
When I was 12 a trainer approached my parents and talked them into buying me a own horse so that I can further pursue a career and my passion for horses. They did (always were and are very supportive – thanks mum and dad!)
Nitchevo – or in his case Nitschevo (easier to understand and pronounce in Germany) is one of the most beautiful horses I ever came across and that’s also one of the reasons why his breeder named him Nitschevo – because of the bottle of Juvena Nitchevo. This scent also holds a lot of memories for the breeder and originally the horse was meant to be for her daughter but unfortunately she was too tall for him. Lucky me 🙂 Today Nitschevo is 22 years old and we’ve experienced many fierce competitons and great times together. And of course he is still the most beautiful horse, even as a retiree.

Nitchevo has a special meaning for me – created in 1973. it was the first perfume I remember ever seeing/smelling as a child and later the most significant one for forming and directing my future (adult) taste in perfumes towards mostly leather/animalic group.
From today’s point of view this isn’t a masterpiece – far from it – it smells rather outdated. On the other hand, it’s quite complex and offers an interesting insight into some perfumery basics – it’s a chypre floral with a very changeable mood. Worth trying.
Opens briefly and bombastically with a loads of antique-ish aldehydes – yes, unnecessarily and excessively soapy and not very pretty, too – but shortly after, its’ true nature starts showing; a butchy, rubbery leather soaked with castoreum and artemisia (Etro Gomma or Knize Ten style). This spicy herbal/animalic leather character lingers until the drydown, becoming gradually more and more soothed with soft amber sweetness…
(Un)fortunately this powerhouse quickly looses most of its’ muscles; abundandly applied EdT lasts 3-4 hours max. with first strong, then after 2 hours poor sillage (possibly due its’ age). There’s a rare parfum (as well as PdT) concentration wandering through the wilderness of the internet-auctions, I bet it’s gorgeous!
Meanwhile, my EdT? Old-fashioned, with some flaws and I have it for sentimental reasons mostly… but nonetheless it’s one of very serious leather fumes in my collection.

I had this for many years, originally brought for me by my father. Then my ex husband found a head of tiny bottles when on deplyment in Cyprus. That year (1983) we travelled to Switzerland and found it in a department store so I bought a huge bottle, only to accidently smash it on a tiled floor. I was devastated. If anyone can suggest something similar ……. I really loved it and made the last small bottle I had last forever lol

I’m actually using up my mum’s vintage EdT bottle, and it still smells like it did in the 80ies, though slightly weakened.Its lasting power is close to zero due to its age. It must have suffered a bit, as it is a dab-on, not a spray. Still very elegant, typical for that era, well balanced. I don’t know if it’s me, I don’t really get animalic notes, rather the floral chypre side. According to me, it’s a classic late 70ies scent, that would have deserved greater popularity.

it means “nothing” in russian language.my cousin use to have it when i was a child and funny enough i still remember the smell.don’t need to mention that i was using it secretly.
compering to some new smells that i discovered later i i must admit it was nothing special,but for that era pleasant enough.the bottle was pretty though.

Not actually a review, but just a remark. It´s funny, but the name of this perfume sounds like the russian word “ничего”, which means either “nothing” or as a spoken language “ok” or “quite good, quite pleasant”. Usually russians ask:” Ну как?” (so how is it?) and the usual answer is:”да ничего” (well, it´s ok). That´s why i really want to try this fragrance to find out is it really “ok” or “nothing” special 🙂
