Whoa, that's so new your review is the first and only one on Fragrantica, that's pretty amazing.
I loved NR's first men's fragrance that smelt like wet cement but I haven't got on with any of the subsequent releases.
The note pyramid looks quite interesting on that though, what notes does it actually have according to your nose?

Hahaha, yeh I'm the only comment thus far on this fragrance.

Really on the dry down, it has a really smooth rose note. The Patchouli note is also pretty nice, and I'm not really one for Patchouli. Overall, the bottle looks nice, and the scent is pretty well done... Would fit your scent profile perfectly 😉

I quite like floral notes but is it as musky as all the other NR in the Men's Musc range, according to Fragrantica the musk is in there but not a prominent one?

The Musc is there, but for me I pick up the rose, patchouli and vanilla notes more. It has pomegranate at the top, but I somehow didn't pick much of it up. You can easily share this fragrance with your lady as well.

R2300 for the Narciso? Yikes, feel like I'm just giving it away now lol 😅 Im also open to dropping to R1500 if you have a fragrance to swap as well. Preferably something fresh and clean.

R800 also for all 3 my Armaf Fragrances. Sillage, CDNIM and Iconic. Busy cleaning up

The boss dropped a bottle of Fashionably London in his office one day. I managed to save the name plate of his secret fragrance which so many had asked about. Quite nice, and definitely long lasting as a male fragrance -- the bergamot is very long lasting. My open plan area next to the office certainly smelled the scent for weeks after. Not very pricey either. I'll wait for him to retire before I get some for myself.

That's a Zara fragrance which are generally well put together.

Has anyone tried recent middle eastern clones. I normally always have a few in my rotation, but 2025 was a good year for clone releases, and I ended up trying a fair number of them, and still have a few on my sniff or blind buy list

The hyped ones I have are:
  • FA Aether
  • FA Vulcan Feu
  • FA Liquid Brun
  • Hawas Ice
  • Hawas Tropical
  • Khadlaj Island Dreams
I enjoy them all, but Vulcan Feu and Island Dreams are something else. I actually want to get back up bottles.
 
I've got Vulcan Feu but am finding it meh. Too one dimensional and feminine for me.
I want to try Island Dreams but might get Hawas Kobra next.
One cheapie I recently got is Jazzab Silver. Great AdG dupe for no money.

I think you may find Island Dreams too feminine as well. Maybe test before buying.

I prefer softer more unisex fragrances, not the overly masculine scents. So it works for me.
