Discovering NEH Perfumes: A Journey of Scent
I came across NEH Perfumes (nehperfumes.com) quite by chance, while searching for something a little different from the usual high-street fragrances. The promise of “master perfumery meets mindfulness” definitely piqued my interest, so I decided to take a closer look.
Website Navigation and Product Selection
The website itself is quite elegant. It presents a minimalist design, yet it’s still easy to navigate. However, I think there is room for enhancement with product filtering and improved descriptions. For instance, I was hoping to sort the perfumes based on scent families (woody, floral, etc.), but that wasn’t an option. Consequently, this forced me to browse through each perfume individually. Nonetheless, each product page offered a detailed description, along with suggestions for “affirmations” and “daily practice,” which I found unique and intriguing.
The “Discovery Set” containing small vials of all six scents, caught my eye immediately. The decision felt smart, giving me the opportunity to sample the whole range before committing to a full-size bottle.
The Checkout Experience
The checkout process, while fairly standard, felt a little clunky. For example, after adding the Discovery Set to my cart, I was prompted to create an account before proceeding. Most websites allow you to checkout as a guest initially. Moreover, the payment options were a bit limited. While they did accept my credit card, the absence of options like PayPal was a bit disappointing. However, entering my shipping address and other details was straightforward enough.
Delivery and Packaging
The delivery was a bit slower than I expected. The site suggested 3-5 business days for domestic orders, but it actually took a week to arrive. On the other hand, I was impressed with the packaging. The Discovery Set arrived in a beautifully designed box, carefully nestled in protective padding. It felt like opening a gift, which definitely added to the overall experience. Additionally, there was a small card with a handwritten note, thanking me for my purchase. That personalized touch was much appreciated.
The Fragrances Themselves
Now, for the most important part: the fragrances! The Discovery Set included The Opening, The High, The Light, The Element, The Flavor, and The Vibration. Each scent is very distinct, which I found to be a positive attribute.
- The Opening: It has a fresh and invigorating aroma, perfect for daytime wear. However, it was slightly too citrusy for my preference.
- The High: This one is warmer and more complex. As a result, it has become one of my favorites.
- The Light: Delicate and floral scent. Even though it is very light, it is long-lasting.
- The Element: This scent is more earthy, grounding aroma.
- The Flavor: A sweet and slightly spicy aroma, a very warm and comforting scent.
- The Vibration: A deeper, more mysterious scent. I could detect woody and amber notes.
Trying each fragrance with its associated affirmation and music was an interesting experience. Though I wouldnt say it drastically altered my perception, it did encourage me to be more mindful of my mood and surroundings.
The longevity of the fragrances varied somewhat. The Light and The High lasted the longest, while The Opening and The Flavor faded a bit quicker. In general, the fragrances had moderate longevity.
Customer Support
I had a small issue with my order confirmation. As such, I decided to reach out to NEH’s customer support. I sent an email with my query and received a reply within 24 hours. The person was helpful and polite. I also appreciate that they provided a clear resolution to my question.
Overall Impression
Overall, I had a positive experience with NEH Perfumes. While there are areas where the website and delivery could improve, the unique fragrances and thoughtful packaging make it worth exploring. The emphasis on mindfulness and the personalized touches also contributed to a memorable experience.
I intend to purchase a full-size bottle of The High because that one completely resonated with me. Consequently, I would recommend NEH Perfumes to anyone who appreciates niche fragrances and is looking for something beyond the ordinary. Just be aware of the slightly longer delivery times. It is worth noting that the price point is premium. However, given the unique concept and the quality of the ingredients, it feels justified.
