Le Rêve Nirmala Molinard for women

Took me a while to remember I never reviewed this. Anyway, here we go: dark chocolate, lightly dusty and fruity. Remains somewhat dry.

Great sillage and projection, it vibes vaguely as Angel but it isn't as rounded or smooth. It's pungent and makes its presence known.

While I liked it, I don't love it. I use it as room fragrance.

Got this today and at first spray, it reminded me of Gucci Rush, I just don't agree with Gucci Rush, gives me a headache and makes me queasy. Did the same to me today. Instant headache, queasy. Comparing the notes, this shouldn't remind me of Gucci Rush. IDK, I will test it a few more days, but it has to go if it continues to turn my stomach.

When I first smelled this in a sample, I was absolutely hooked and obsessed. It was so unique and different from anything had smelled before. I was so excited to purchase it! However, when it arrived and I finally started wearing it my feelings changed. There is something messy about it and it's very much all over the place. There's chocolate, there's praline, there are florals, there are tropical fruits, there's patchouli... It hits you all at once in a single blast and doesn't really quite pace itself. Thrown all together, it's a little confusing. It's definitely for gourmand fans, but again, there's just a little too much going on all at once for me. However, I may be judging a little harshly and I may need to give it another try. I think if it didn't have the chocolate and praline notes I would be more amenable, but those two really throw me for a loop here.

Fun and fruity, like tropical juice. Great summer scent. Not especially complex or memorable, but it definitely has a place in my collection.

I love this perfume! It lasts on my skin forever. Yes, it's sweet but for me it's not sickening sweetness. A very warm, cosy smell which I wear all year round.
I always feel it when I take a shower. For me it's a very long lasting perfume. 💓

I bought a bottle of this juice on Fragrancenet.com. Glad I only paid $25 as it smells so cheap! Too sweet and the dry down is atrocious! Hate it! Do not find any similarities with Angel. I used to wear Muglier's Angele a long time ago when it first came out. However, a couple of years later I would get a headache every time I would wear it so I had to stop. Having said that, Angel smells expensive, and Nirmala smells cheap.

I liked it a whole lot at first very fruity citric I would have even dared to say it had some Passion fruit in it very exciting.... I liked it.... but once it dries down it smells kind of like a sweet old lady powdery rose flowers and pachuli with some sweetness to it... all that citric fruity excitement suddenly flew away... and I was left with this emptiness. No I dont want to evolve that fast ever!! Thats the most Bipolar I want to ever experience..

Blind bought one ounce EDT, tested first with one small spray on the wrist. An hour later, applied more liberally to arms and neck. Final edit to this review the following morning:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Why isn't Musk listed as an ingredient? It's there on the dry-down, very sweet and alluring, right alongside the vanilla.

This is the most delicious fragrance I've smelled since Jean Patou's "Patou Forever". It starts out fruity with a powdery base, but the fruit vanishes quickly, and somewhere between thirty minutes to an hour after application it becomes seductively musky with smoky incense and vanilla.

It's absolutely addictive. There's a hint of heliotrope that makes me giddy and dizzy, along with honeyed musk that isn't mens-room animalic (like L'Artisan Parfumeur's Seville a L'Aube) but spicy and sweet like the gingerbread in the Wicked Wolf's stolen basket of goodies (like L'Artisan Parfumeur's Mechant Loup).

The musk lingers for hours, slowly becoming more vanilla floral than smoky incense. Twelve hours later it's all vanilla sugar cookies with a faint whiff of white flowers -- sweet and delicious.

The sillage from the EDT is exactly as it should be, decent but not overwhelming. The scent radiates at arm's length, but doesn't fill a room.

And best of all, it lasts and lasts. I woke up this morning with the fragrance of sweet vanilla flowers lingering on my wrists and on my pillow, where it had transferred from my neck. Yum!

This bewitching scent will entrance a bed partner who finds that you awaken with an air of cheerful innocence in the morning, after leading the way into lust the night before.

I immediately sprung for the 2.5oz EDT and will hoard as many bottles as I can afford.

Blind Bought due to site recommendation and it was surprising because the first half was a bit underwhelming with strong fermented mango fruit and patchouli mixture but the dry down is an amazing Cocoa Pebbles cereal smell, a round, airy, long lasting cocoa cereal smell that really makes up for the less unique first notes. I sprayed the back of hand with one spritz and it lasted for 6 or 7 hours as a skin scent. Plus the bottle is super cute too.

This is a decent fruitchouli. I kind of want it, but in the last decade this theme has been done to death, and I already own similar perfumes to this. It's more appealing than Nirmala but obviously less original. Other than that, Le Reve Nirmala is a scrumptious perfume for cold weather.

I blind bought based on positive reviews. I don't know if I received a fake or not because this fragrance doesn't even last an hour. I'm really disappointed with my purchased

Reminds me Fatale Intense Agent Provocateur just a bit more sweet and more gentle but has same yuck notes which I don't like, and quite far away there till exotic flowers and tropical fruits, imho...
UPDATE After few years stands in the corner gives cacao smell ( chocolate of course) and really became more yummy, without any yuck note which I didnt like before... hmm.. I think I will change my mind about it :)

Good smell similar to Escada magnetism, but you can feel more notes than in magnetism.
Also bit similar to Nejma 7

I have been craving for a chocolaty perfume, sweet, but not candy nauseating sweet.

This is it! Sweet, mellow, beautiful and rich. To me this is dark powdery chocolate, fresh and warm patchouli, gentle almond and a little touch of fruity vanilla. It is quite thick and rich, yet so light, fluffy, and enjoyable.

I also like the girly cute bottle, with the little bow as a finishing touch.

All in all, good edition for my collection. Perfect for those colder days, when all I want is something warm, sweet and cosy as a pick me up.

This is a cute little sweetie! Soft and dreamy indeed. It's a more transparent, more delicate version of the original. Powdery chocolate, sweet and tangy fruits and a warm patchouli. I can see the comparisons to Love but this is thicker and richer. I can smell a charming almond in the dry down. The bottle is very pretty and girly. This was one of my Valentine's Day presents and it was a perfect choice for the occasion.

Well I blind bought it and now I'm paying for it. I don't like this at all. It is sweet but it smells somewhat cheap sweet. Maybe not cheap, just boring. My other half said i smelt like Terry's Chocolate Orange.
I was hoping with it being Molinard the perfume would be more unique, something more unusual.
Instead what I get is your generic so very popular sweetshop like gourmand.
Gutted. If anyone in UK is wanting to buy a bottle let me know, I want mine shifted.

A beautiful dream perfume. It's glorious!!! It's a perfect concoction of everything - beautiful chocolate and patchouli, and sweet sandalwood, very delicious fresh fruit and flowers - all so well blended. It's sweet and fresh and earthy, with a lovely almond smell too. It's beautiful. My husband really loves it, and I get complimented all the time - people always breathe deeply and tell me I smell gorgeous! It lasts incredibly well too: virtually all day, and it's gorgeous to wear to bed. Restful and soothing. It's a glorious perfume. And so is the beautiful beautiful bottle!!!

This is exactly like I expected it to be!! Very nice sweet perfume, the sweet notes have an airy quality , fluffy... nothing foody here,perfect balance between the florals, the sweet fruits, and the warm base notes...there isn't one note that dominates the scent, this is perfect harmony...very much the Molinard quality..the patchouli vanilla combo is really well done...I usually don't care too much about patchouli, but here this is a soft one..not much more to say, it smells dreamy, like the name implies!! I don't detect the chocolate...it is blended in with the gourmand notes. Longevity is excellent..happy to own it !!
it is quite similar to Sexual by Michel Germain..
I don't find it similar to Angel at all, it doesn't have that dry unisex vibe at all.

chocolate and patchouli....a little brother of Angel but with small sillage. Both cozy and perfect for the office

It's gorgeous. Rich and fruity patchouli, gorgeous flowers and herbs, and absolutely delicious chocolate and almonds. Divine. I love it, and I love the beautiful bottle. It's a very beautiful, sensual, classy and elegant perfume, and very passionate. Beautiful.

It sounds good mmmm...
