The last time I went to Lucknow, me and my friends went crazy buying Attars. The variety available was mind-boggling and we had a tough time choosing the ones to buy. I ended up picking about 8-10 different types and while they smelled great, I didn’t really use much of them after coming back. The major reason being that the smell was just too strong and overwhelming for me because of how concentrated they are. If like me, you love attars but in a toned down variant, you will love Neesh Perfumes. Neesh is the first Indian perfume brand to have Attar and Oud based fragrances.
About Neesh Perfumes
- Neesh fragrances are an amalgamation of more than 52 ingredients that have been curated from top notched fragrance producing countries including Iraq, Venice and others
- Neesh offers exclusive and specialized attars that contain 10-20% of essential oils. The higher the proportion of oil in attar, the long lasting smell they have. Usual perfumes in India have nearby 8% concentration. This ensures longer stay fragrances
- Neesh perfumes stay for 10-12 hours on a single application
Price – Rs 340 (20 ml)
Available at – Neesh website, Flipkart, Amazon, Snapdeal, ebay
Neesh sent me three of their perfumes to try out :
- Attar-e-Ishq – has a base note of sweet vanilla and a top note of nutmeg, bakhoor and cedarwood
- Rose-e-Mohabbat – has honeysuckle, saffron, rose and lavender
- Amour De Oud – has musk and dark amber
- The packaging of the perfumes is definitely unique. One of the biggest problems with perfume bottles is portability. It is not easy carrying a glass bottle around. Neesh’s pocket perfumes are in a plastic case small enough to be kept in a pocket, in a small clutch, bag everywhere.
- The fragrances smell exotic, luxurious and even though they contain 10-20% natural oils, they are not ‘headache inducing’ strong
- The fragrances last all day
Out of three I was sent, my favorite is Amour De Oud because I love musky scents but the others are wonderful as well. I really recommend you check this brand out!
