This opens with that vintage orris powder that instantly makes everything feel a little quieter, even if only for a moment. The lilac is there in full force, but it’s fresh and delicate, like stepping into a garden just as everything is starting to bloom. I’m a lilac lover, so I am loooving how forward it is in this. And then, there’s the neroli. Ohhhhh neroli. How I love thee. It’s bright but not too sharp, bringing just the right amount of warmth to the fragrance. As it dries down, the green wood note emerges which grounds the scent beautifully. It adds a layer of depth to an otherwise light and ethereal fragrance, making it feel both otherworldly and comforting.

Astral Plane is a gorgeous lilac floral perfume. It's the kind of perfume you put on and then obsessively sniff your wrists for the rest of the day. I love it. Elegant, delicate, and feminine is what comes to mind when I smell this perfume.

How do you describe astral plane? It makes me feel like I'm in the center of the most incredible spring flowers. It's pretty, light, citrusy, and romantic. It feels familiar and safe. I dab a drop on my wrists, behind the ears, and on my 3rd eye point. I feel subtle shifts in my aura. It reminds me of the first perfume I bought as a teenager. So many great memories. I'm obsessed. I currently own 18 Nui Cobalt fragrances and this might be my favorite. Thank you!

How do you make the spring florals bloom in your mind's eye and shake the ice from your heart in the dead of winter? Why dab on a scent potion that sweeps you away in imagination and lucid dreams, such as Astral Plane of course. It's all it promises and more with an opening of a bouquet of realistic dew-kissed lilacs with a gentle sweetness of neroli that dries down into a creamy powderiness which stays close to the skin and becomes another elegant "aura" or "outer glow" type of fragrance Nui Cobalt excels at. So pretty, romantic, calming and somehow familiar in all one wave of the wrist.
