Most Helpful Critical Review

Disappointed :(

Received as part of an educational promotion. I was really looking forward to trying the Nemat Amber Eau de Parfum because I had heard good things about the brand and was especially curious about this fragrance. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. I want to start by saying that I kn...ow fragrances can smell very different from person to person, and scent preferences are very subjective. However, in this case, I don't think this is simply a matter of not liking the fragrance. I truly believe that something may have gone wrong with the bottle I received. The first thing I noticed when I sprayed it was a very strong alcohol smell. Normally, I expect that with a perfume, especially immediately after spraying, but after allowing it to dry down, I expected the actual fragrance to develop. Unfortunately, that never happened. I kept waiting for the floral notes to come through, but there was basically nothing there, no woody notes, no light musk. After the initial alcohol smell disappeared, I couldn't really detect fragrance at all. It's just a faint smell, but I can't really tell if this is how the perfume is supposed to smell, especially because it doesn't even last long. In less than an hour, there was no noticeable fragrance lingering on my skin, and I couldn't really smell anything when I moved my wrist closer to my nose. I'm just wondering if I may have received a bad batch, a defective bottle, or if something happened to the product during storage or shipping. On the other hand, the packaging itself is actually very nice. The bottle is simple but pretty and has an elegant appearance. It looks like something that would be sitting on my vanity or displayed with other fragrances. The presentation gives a level of sophistication, and I was really excited to try it. But no matter how beautiful the bottle is, the most important part of a perfume is the fragrance itself; if there's really no scent or nothing to smell, then the beautiful packaging can't make up for that.
