Personal review: NR For Him is a powerful fragrance in that it can inspire feelings and emotions in the wearer. It is clear that some people interpret a dark, gothic side to the fragrance and that it should be worn with black clothing on grey, cloudy days for example. I personally would not chose to wear this on such a day or with such a dress code. I would wear it with a sharp blue or beige suit and a fresh white shirt on a crisp sunny morning/afternoon, and the effect for me is much different, bright, inspiring and magnificent and in no way melancholy, dark or gothic. I wouldn't wear it to sit indoors all day either, e.g. in an office, rather to be strolling or sitting out in the fresh Spring/Autumn air. When I wear this I want to see bright blue skies and feel slightly cool but comfortable temperatures. For Him is unique, distinctive and beautiful. Classic yet modern. It has a beautiful violet-amber blend, which with its ozonic dimension makes me recall how the city air smells in Europe after a rain shower has passed. It has a very niche/classy feel to it, but like a painting it can divide opinion and stir varied emotions. Without any doubt it is a powerful and beautiful piece of art to behold, and to be treated with respect. Masterpiece.
