A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Exotic fruit and bergamot burst forward with immediate sweetness, nutmeg's warming spice creating friction against the white rose's cool floral entrance. It's fruity-floral in its purest form, genuinely juicy rather than perfume-y.
The fragrance settles into a creamy, almost candied zone as orange blossom and davana ascend. Geranium's peppery-green character emerges, preventing the composition from becoming one-dimensional sweet, whilst jasmine deepens the floral bed with indolic complexity.
Caramel and vanilla come into focus, underpinned by earthy patchouli that stops the sweetness from becoming saccharine. White musk softens everything into a warm, boozy-vanilla finale that clings delicately rather than intensely to the skin.
Years Anniversary unfolds as a fruit-driven meditation on warmth rather than refinement. The opening is immediately tactile—exotic fruits (likely passion fruit or mango) merge with bergamot's brightness, whilst nutmeg adds a distinctly spiced character that prevents this from sliding into generic fruity territory. White rose enters early, lending a whisper of powder without dominating the composition.
What's most compelling about this fragrance is how Nejman constructs the heart. Orange blossom and davana (that honeyed, slightly leathery Indian fruit) create a creamy, almost fruity-floral ambiguity—you're never quite certain whether you're smelling fruit or flower, which is precisely where the fragrance's appeal lies. Geranium adds a peppery, slightly green undertone that grounds the sweetness, whilst jasmine provides indolic richness without veering into tuberose territory.
