The house of Nejma gifted the world with Le Delicieux in 2016. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the floral and gourmet families. By character, it falls into the wood group. One of the scents from the Private collection. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
The sillage is moderate — present, but never overpowering. This fragrance doesn't rush to leave — you can count on high longevity. France is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. Le Delicieux Nejma unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Le Delicieux is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Nejma is clear in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Wood, Powdery, Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which clarifies the composition character. In wear duration High indicates a stable lasting impression.
In the first seconds you sense radiant lemon-bergamot top notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin and Pink pepper.
At the core of development you detect Damask Rose, Iris, Jasmine Sambac and Orchid keeping a opulent floral direction.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Wood, Citrus, Spicy and Floral. The palette also extends to Whiteflower, Ambery, Sweet and Gourmet.
Taken together Le Delicieux holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.
