70 – Inspired by Sculpture / NIKOS

Description

Essence & Concept
Sculpture by Nikos (1994) is a feminine floral-oriental fragrance that combines fresh citrus, green herbs, soft florals, and a warm, sweet woody base. It captures elegance and sensuality with a smooth, creamy character that feels timeless and softly bold.

Note Structure

Top notes: Tarragon, Peach, Lemon, Green Notes, Bergamot, Freesia — fresh, herbal-citrus opening with a light fruity and floral brightness.

Heart (middle): Ylang-Ylang, Orris Root, Orchid, Cyclamen, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley — creamy, powdery florals that create a romantic, elegant core.

Base notes: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Benzoin, Musk, Sandalwood, Cedar — warm, sweet, and resinous with a smooth musky-woody finish.

Evolution & Experience
At first spray, citrus and green herbs like lemon and tarragon create a lively, slightly sharp opening with a hint of peach sweetness. The florals quickly emerge, softening the scent with creamy ylang-ylang and jasmine accented by powdery orris root. The dry-down is warm and comforting as vanilla and tonka bean add sweetness while musk, benzoin, and sandalwood provide depth and sensuality. The scent is feminine, smooth, and softly sweet throughout its development.

Longevity & Projection
Moderate to good longevity, lasting around 5 to 7 hours. Projection is noticeable early on but becomes more intimate as it dries down. The scent tends to stay close to the skin in later phases but can linger longer on clothing.

Best Use / Occasions
Best suited for spring and fall, with the ability to work in cooler summer evenings. Ideal for daytime wear, casual outings, and romantic dinners. It offers soft sophistication, making it appropriate for both everyday use and semi-formal occasions. May feel too warm or sweet in hot, humid weather.

Character & Vibe
Sculpture feels feminine, elegant, and slightly nostalgic. It balances sweet creaminess with fresh herbal and floral brightness. The scent suits someone who appreciates classic, womanly fragrances with a gentle yet noticeable presence.
