Nectar de Nargis attar is a Flora Five original devoted to the nargis — the narcissus that blooms through North Indian winters and has filled Urdu poetry for centuries. We keep the flower centre-stage: a green, honeyed narcissus opening, jasmine and rose filling out the heart, and musk with sandalwood holding it for roughly 6–8 hours.

As an alcohol-free perfume oil, it is gentle on the skin. Roll it where blood runs close to the surface — wrists, neck, behind the ears — and give the narcissus a few minutes to unfold; it opens green and settles honeyed. Oils can shadow light fabrics, so apply to skin rather than your white kurta.

Frequently asked questions
What does Nectar de Nargis smell like?
Narcissus is a strange, beautiful flower — green and hay-like at first sniff, honeyed and almost creamy underneath. Here it opens the show alone before jasmine and rose soften its edges into a fuller white-floral heart, while musk and sandalwood keep the base smooth and slightly warm. It smells like a flower stall on a February morning, in the best way.
How long does it last?
Around 6–8 hours on skin, wearing with moderate projection for the first 4–6 hours before becoming a soft floral veil. Narcissus and jasmine bloom noticeably in warm weather, so it feels fuller on sunny afternoons. On fabric the sandalwood-musk drydown quietly carries into the next day.
Is it alcohol-free?
Yes. Nectar de Nargis is a concentrated perfume oil with no alcohol at any step. Narcissus attars have been made this way in India for centuries — the oil format is not a workaround here, it is the original technology of the craft.
Which size should I choose — 3, 6 or 12 ml?
If narcissus is new to your nose, begin with the 3 ml — it is a distinctive flower and worth living with for a week or two. The 6 ml suits occasional and seasonal wear. Devotees of Indian florals should take the 12 ml; it is the best value and the blend keeps beautifully in oil.
