When the entire world is going through a difficult time these days, we can see that a lot of people are becoming depressed and losing the zeal to live. They are questioning their reason for being and giving up. Now, I am not a psychologist or an expert of any sort to talk about such serious issues or give advice, but I am definitely up for people to find their purpose in life again. Keeping this thought alive, I am here to talk about a fragrance that not only makes its presence felt, but also encourage the reason to exist. I am talking about the first ever fragrance released by Nykaa, Raison D’ Etre.
The name itself means “reason for being” and the scent is enough to drive that force inside you to recognize your reason for being. Now, if you relate fragrances with emotions then only this will work for you. If fragrance fails to leave a dent in your heart and soul, then am sorry this review will not give you any take away. So, for fragrance lovers, let’s begin. Packaging Every perfume from Nykaa comes in beautiful glass bottles with impressions of the perfume on the back side of the transparent bottle. So that it gives an effect from the background. In this case, the impression for Raise D’ Etre is beautiful pink flowers on a thin shaft. It has a transparent white plastic cap on top of it which is kind of flimsy. The sprayer is also nice as it spritz quite evenly. Overall, nice packaging that will look wonderful on anyone’s vanity. If the cap was of a bit better quality, it would have been perfect. Scent There are only four notes in this beautiful fragrance and these four notes alone are capable of creating wonders. Rose, vanilla, musk and vetiver have together combined into creating a powerful, feminine, subtle yet dominant fragrance. While rose and vanilla lend to the elegance of this EDP, it is musk and vetiver that lend to its strong nature. All of these blend into creating a “calm dominance” as mentioned in the box where this bottle comes in. Definitely a head turner wherever you go, this one can surely reiterate the reason for being. Longevity and Silage Quite good in both the aspects, Raison D’ Etre leaves a nice trail and lasts long on skin and clothes. However, given the price point, something I will discuss in a while, I think the longevity can be amped up a bit. Quantity and Price Point Priced at Rs. 1800, this bottle comes in 100ml bottle. Considering it is an EDP or Eau de Parfum, the price point is not bad. There are loads of perfumes in the market that costs a lot than this price point, so it is not bad from my point of view. However, before you invest in the full size bottle, you can definitely try the minis, which are available at Rs. 250. You can definitely go to a Nykaa store and give this one a sniff to buy. Or else you can also check Nykaa’s online store or Amazon for some amazing additional discount on this perfume. Final Thoughts Definitely a good perfume that gives bursts of confidence to the person who wears it; justifying its name in the first place. My recommendation is to go for it if you are fan of the notes I have mentioned above. |
