Darling Nikki
Darling Nikki by Vilhelm Parfumerie is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin, blackcurrant and black pepper, moves into carrot seed, saffron and lotus and dries down to leather, smoke and tonka bean. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Heart
- Carrot Seed Earthy, rooty and oddly powdery. Often used to echo iris.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Lotus Pale, watery flower. Delicate and slightly powdery.
Dry-down
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Smoke Charred and dry. Adds drama fast.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
