1907 BODICEA (Nieman Marcus)
This one feels like a āclean luxuryā scent with an old-school backbone. The vibe is polished and classy, but not dustyāmore 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 āexpensive soap + soft woodsā territory. What I like is how put together it smells. Itās not trying to be loud or weird, and it doesnāt scream for attention. Itās the type of fragrance that makes you smell fresh and intentional without smelling like youāre wearing āa fragrance,ā 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: solidālasts 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 Iād wear it Perfect for work, errands, date nights where you donāt want something heavy, or anytime you want to smell āfresh but grown.ā Great signature scent energy. Overall If youāre into clean, classy, understated scents (more refined than āfreshie gym spray,ā less intense than heavy ambers), NM 1907 is an easy win. Not the most āunique,ā but itās the kind of scent thatās hard to dislike and easy to reach for.
