1907 BODICEA (Nieman Marcus)

This one feels like a “clean luxury” scent with an old-school backbone. The vibe is polished and classy, but not dusty—more like a crisp button-down with a warm, slightly textured base. The opening comes off bright and smooth (not sharp), then it settles into that comforting “expensive soap + soft woods” territory.

What I like is how put together it smells. It’s not trying to be loud or weird, and it doesn’t scream for attention. It’s the type of fragrance that makes you smell fresh and intentional without smelling like you’re wearing “a fragrance,” if that makes sense.

Scent profile (how it wears on me)

Opening: clean, slightly bright, airy
Mid: creamy/soft aromatic feel, like refined cleanliness
Drydown: smooth woods + a gentle musky warmth that sticks close

Performance

Longevity: solid—lasts most of the day on skin
Projection: moderate for the first hour or two, then becomes more intimate
Sillage: clean trail, not a room-filler

When I’d wear it

Perfect for work, errands, date nights where you don’t want something heavy, or anytime you want to smell “fresh but grown.” Great signature scent energy.

Overall

If you’re into clean, classy, understated scents (more refined than “freshie gym spray,” less intense than heavy ambers), NM 1907 is an easy win. Not the most “unique,” but it’s the kind of scent that’s hard to dislike and easy to reach for.
