Nayel Queen

“Love, love, loveSo similar to Rifaaquat. Almost identical, differences might just be age of batches. NQ seems ever so slightly sweeter.They, and Fierte, are the best inspirations of Babycat, and I prefer them to the OG, honestly. Smoother, softer edges.Delicious drydowns.Amazing longevity.Great for layering.”

“I have this, but I don't wear it much because it has a kind of vinyl note on me that smells quite artificial. However, I recently bought a sample of Red Oud from Arabiyat... and although it's supposed to probably dupe something from Sospiros/Xerjoff, it's very in the same genre as Nayel Queen. It's like a less plasticky, slightly more complex Nayel Queen, with cinnamon or something in the opening, but it dries down to tobacco-suede-tonka. If you like Nayel Queen, you should at least sample Red Oud. And it's as beast mode as Nayel Queen too.”

“I think this can be described with one word: vinylla.It's not just some kind of boozy vanilla, but a very suade-heavy one. Suade usually smells like all kind of preservative chemicals, and this is HEAVY on those kind of smells. It's a plasticky, peppery, low-sweetness vanilla, resembling something vinyl.Best for cool weather or rainy days.”
