No. 55 NSHQ, released in 2012, is officially considered a unisex fragrance. It was created by perfumer Nouf Al Qahtani.
Made in Saudi Arabia, backed by a long and proud tradition. No. 55 NSHQ unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
If fragrances could speak, this one would say: 'You made the right choice.' The official website of NSHQ — https://www.trussardi.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of No. 55 is shaped as an expressive line of development, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The creative approach of NSHQ comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Fruit, Whiteflower, Green and Floral. It also reaches into Wood and Musk.
In the first seconds you catch juicy fruity first notes: Blackcurrant, Gardenia, Plum and Tea. These 4 notes shape playful berry energy that is impossible to miss.
When the opening settles you notice Orange blossom and Sacred Reytingia carrying a silky white floral direction. At drydown level the structure settles through Patchouli and musk, reinforcing a deep woody trail.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Floral, Fruit, Musc and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. The profile is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In summary No. 55 reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best experienced in wear.
