The review
Worth a try. That is where Self lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Nefs.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Nefs's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 43% less than Nefs — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: saffron and bergamot up top, rose and oud in the middle, incense, amber and patchouli underneath — the shape of Nishane Nefs.
Top
- saffron
- bergamot
Heart
- rose
- oud
Base
- incense
- amber
- patchouli
Saffron rose burning into oud and incense, dense, devotional and unmistakably Eastern.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of Nishane Nefs we can price, Self is the cheapest per 100ml.
- 01 Perfume Parlour Self $122/100ml
- 02 Scentual Obsessions Unknown Desire $133/100ml
- 03 Mod Fragrances Golden Fable $49.99
