I normally do not like very frutty perfumes however this one is more on the fresh side than sweet. Rasberry blended with rose, iris and vanilla makes this fragrance very intoxicating and...

This is lovely. As a rule of thumb, I'm typically not very fond of anything that's fruity or has a rose note in it's orchestra of notes. I saw the description of this perfume at Luckyscent and...

I thought I'd hate raspberry notes forever, but this scent changed my mind. Raspberry and cream hit my nose first, with well blended rose. A while later black pepper emerged, then coffee. Iris did...

Wow! I'm not a fan of fruity scents, and although I love to eat raspberries I just don't care to smell like them. But the blending in this is so exquisite, so well balanced, that all of a sudden...

Lovely! Raspberries and cream but not sickly sweet. The pepper and coffee give depth and a certain mystery. Only had my sample yesterday and I've already ordered a FB. I don't usually like sweet...

A raspberry colored rose sits on a table in a gorgeous little cafe....Okay, I don't actually get much of the coffee scent here, but the raspberry and rose balance so nicely I don't miss it. A...

How lovely. It is like a mature fruity scent, not like one of those cheap body sprays that most teens use these days. Balkis notes: raspberry, Turkish rose, black pepper, coffee extract, iris,...

I was expecting this to be a kind of Hanae Mori floral & fruits fragrance. It is sweet, and perhaps the most girly of all the Nicolai fragrances, but there's still an underlying heaviness of musk...

Reading that this was a raspberry fragrance didn't exactly light a fire under me to try it. I like raspberry, but the raspberry prominent fragrances I've tried have all left me yawning and bored...

Balkis is a sophisticated sweet fragrance. Opening with a raspberry note that has the concentrated sweetness of a liqueur, after 1 hour, it manages to sustain this intense sweetness. Hours later,...

Gorgeous, stunning, and undeniably a Patricia de Nicolai. This is very similar in tone to FM's Lipstick Rose, although more smoothe and refined to my nose. I get the sweetness of sun ripened...

A very pretty but incredibly sweet raspberry-rose. Initially, the fragrance is seductive, warm, and pleasant, but after some time it becomes, as others have stated, syrup-sweet, and then it...

"Syrupy" is the best way to describe this, as others have said. Fruit Loops syrup. Very sweet, very fruity, and dare I say it... it smells cheap. The dry down was no better. I got no vanilla, no...

Balkis opens with a gloriously convincing fresh raspberry note, underscored by a delicate rose which evokes a fruited Turkish Delight. Complementing this is a warm oriental accord of powdery iris,...
