17 Nandan Road
by Ulrich Lang
17 Nandan Road by Ulrich Lang unfolds as a delicate, transparent floral-green fragrance with a pronounced osmanthus core. The scent feels airy and refined—like a quiet garden in summer, with layered notes of bergamot, green leaves, and Sicilian lemon leading into a soft, honeyed osmanthus heart. The addition of ambroxan adds a subtle warmth and depth without overwhelming, while suede and musk lend a quiet tactile quality. It is notably light and ethereal, evoking a sense of quiet elegance, akin to a refined afternoon tea or a walk through a sunlit museum garden. The perfume shines in spring and summer months, with most appreciating it as a daytime wear, particularly in warm weather. Its sillage remains intimate and moderate, with modest longevity—some users report it fading within two hours.

- +The fragrance is light, transparent, and refreshing, ideal for warm weather and formal daytime settings.
- +It feels coherent and focused as a soliflore, making it a thoughtful choice for those who appreciate floral clarity and subtlety.
Cons
