NEFEE

The Nefee perfume is inspired by the most illustrious of Egyptian queens, the wife of the great Akhenaton, Nefertiti, which means “the beautiful woman has arrived”.

Her beauty and personality made her a legend, like a timeless icon of luxury and splendour.

She is radiant, unique, divine, and has succeeded in making a name for herself and marking history forever.

Nefee is alluring and victorious, the worthy heir to the Queen of Queens of Egypt. Those who know how to use their beauty, spirit, and solid gold determination to capture hearts, will recognise themselves in it.

This is the disposition of great African women, warrior queens who deserve to be in the spotlight more than ever.

A floral bouquet composed of Egyptian Jasmine, Madagascan Ylang-Ylang, and Tuberose beats at the heart of Nefee like a breathtaking vision. Pomegranate, fresh and sparkling Bergamot, and Pink Peppercorn contribute lightness and radiance like precious stones in a noble metal. Draped in precious mahogany, mysterious Patchouli, delectable Tonka Bean, and Madagascan Vanilla, the trail, like an imperial train, leaves a magnificent imprint. Finally, because she is divine in nature, this queen receives sacred offerings of Oliban, the other name of Incense originating in the Horn of Africa.

“I wanted to create a narcotic, golden, and solar flower for Nefee, which would be preceded by an explosive and radiant aspect. This is how the Pomegranate and     Pink Peppercorn accord at the head interprets this woman’s strength. It is perpetuated by a resplendent floral duo and a powerful background of Patchouli and elegant wood-like Cedar. Accompanied by Oak Moss gestures, it forms the mahogany Wood accord… Nefee for me is a very modern woman who is very free, incredibly talented in business, and decided in her choices. Her perfume surrounds her like a crown, like a halo”.

Delphine Lebeau, perfumer at IFF

 

Delphine Lebeau was born in Paris and trained in Grasse. Perfume has always been fused with her heart and body. She is synesthetic, combining scents and textures in her mind, and in each of her formulas they all go hand in hand. Through her perfumes, she creates sensations that caress or are more energetic, so long as they have an impact, a memorable effect. She greatly admires the flowers that reign in perfumery, Rose, Jasmine and Tuberose, and has composed Nefee for SCENT OF AFRICA as a generous supremely feminine, solar, and floral bouquet.

The imprint of her Italian and Spanish roots is found in her style, like the energy of North Africa, where her mother grew up.
