Fresh shiny and refined

It's a brilliant scent that leaves a refined trail behind you. Everyone will ask you for the name of the perfume. It is a warm and fresh fragrance at the same time. You will feel light and unique. Fragrance of summer and winters

Would like the old original one back - the new ones are awef

I have been using Zen since my 20's and loved the old one. Years ago they came out with a new one in a new bottle and it was awful compared to the old one which was light and smelled wonderful. I got compliments all the time on how good it smelled. Enough

Was always my signature BUT...

This was bought for me by my bf's mother(hubby now&mum in law) over 20 yrs ago ago &I Loved it, i got asked everywhere"what is that scent?" Is been my signature&I collect perfume so to narrow down is VERY HARD but I got this 100ml bottle with the wooden lid& thought " wt heck? I've been ripped off " then bought a bottle in a small pharmacy to compare the difference was HUGE I'd imagine the small pharmacy had that bottle for a long time&that's what I wanted- an older bottle- the scent was absolutely noticeably different not as good definitely missing notes &the"new"one doesn't last as long. My family&friends used to say after if I hugged someone or had been holding the cat "oh u smell like Nellee" even my bro wanted to know a few yrs ago so he could buy for his now wife, my sister used to compliment me every time&I'd say"u know what this is by now" but since the reformulation NOT 1 person has complimented (strangers, men women whoever used to stop me and take notes, my husband used to say it"was the nicest of all" now he prefers a Bvlgari scent after all these yrs) this is heartbreaking bc if I'd known this was going to happen I'd hv stocked up. I used to love that it stayed all day but nvr was a "headache" perfume never cloying now I can't smell it 1 hr after leaving the house. They ruined a wonderful scent it was like a secret Francis Kurkdijan ( who made Baccarat Rouge extract de parfum, another of my fave scents) &a few other ladies, myself included knew about. Now I only hv it as people gift it to me, I will not be buying anymore it's the end of decades of "my scent" so sad. I have found some favourable runners but no "signature Nellee scent" yet....

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
