Description
By this palindrome word, the Ancient Egyptian meant the primordial water, in other words the God Nun. According to the legend, this water gave birth to the Lotus, a flower which was used to hide into the water during the night, to open up again at the sunshine. While blossoming out, the flower revealed the Sun God Atum…Hence the symbolism of the Sun God, of rebirth. This fragrance arises from the Nun, opening with evident Citrus notes, in which Pear reveals its sweetness joining a heart of Lotus, Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang. Woods, Amber and Musk play the end notes of this scented accord.

Interesting. The beginning few seconds reminds me of osmanthus: soft sweet floral with a fruity edge. Ironically, It smells better than a lot of osmanthus themed perfume, for lack of “dry-fermented-tea” smell I found in such perfumes. It has put that much-needed moisture feeling into Osmanthus-esque accord.
We should know by now, good tops just don’t last, ugh…to me the body notes are just non-surprising white florals: silky tuberose, sweet gardenia, and the slightest hint of creamy coconut.

“Lotus, ylang, pears, & rubber” that’s what i got when i first sprayed this on.
The sweet rubber stayed for a certain time as the mild citrus was there all the time.
It was quite weird when i sprayed it on till the rubber note showed up quite clear within seconds. It’s not a huge note rather than blended within the lotus, ylang, pears, and the citrus. The woods comes up with some hints of musk after 5 minutes in. The jasmines almost not there.
It is quite fair to be specific, i kind of like the ingenuity by bringing up the rubber sweet in this form without that dirty animalic yet captivating method. Quite interesting.

This fragrance arises from the Nun and opens up at the sunshine, while its scented molecules spread out into the air. It’s a tribute to this iconic, symbolic flower.” I see this CLEARLY as an ancient Egypt flower.
It reminds me a bit of “Ashoka” by Neela Vermeire with it’s texture but a very less sweet than “Ashoka”, i believe a better balance than “Ashoka”.
