Moi by Nykaa Raison D’Etre Eau de Parfum - Product Review | Shriya Sagdeo | beautyandthecode

Hey Everyone!  

Welcome back .. 

A fragrance lover can never get over blogging about any fragrance that they come across , it's an addiction and I have no shame in admitting that I am an addict :P 

Today I will be reviewing one of the original fragrances by Nykaa - Moi by Nykaa Raison D’Etre - Eau de Parfum.


Hope you enjoy reading the review & know my experience with this product.


 Product Description : 




What does the Product Claim:



Moi by Nykaa is a collection of fragrances that takes its name from the French word ‘moi’ translating to ‘me’. Designed in Paris, the collection is crafted as a fragrance wardrobe to offer you a scent for every mood. Now every day, you can match your fragrance to the way you feel!

Raison d’etre, the French phrase translating to ‘reason for being’ inspires a subtle, yet elegant fragrance to give you an air of calm domination. Here, a well-crafted potion of sensual Rose and Vanilla is tapered with Musk and Vetyver for a powerfully feminine feel. A sensual fresh fragrance depicting the modern and liberated woman of today.

Top Notes: Neroli, Bergamot, Orange Blossom

Heart Notes: Lily of the Valley, Rose, Patchouli

Base Notes: Musk, Vanilla, Vetyver


Packaging :



  • It comes in a beautiful see through glass bottle with a similar glass cap and simple spray nozzle to dispense the product.
  • The bottle has a printed pink blossom flowers design on the back of the glass bottle which makes the overall packaging look pretty and feminine.
  • The bottle does not contain any product information. For that you will have to keep the outer cardboard packaging intact with you.
  • The cap is a little lose so it might not turn out to be travel friendly.

My Experience with this ..! 


To start off with my experience with this EDP , the very first thing that I noticed was the packaging .. It looks so pretty with those pink blossom flowers making it an ideal candidate for gifting purposes or to display and flaunt in my vanity :)

Coming to the fragrance, the fragrance is fruity floral category that has very strong hints of Bergamot, Rose, Patchouli and Vanilla .. It lasts for around 4 to 5 hours and then it fades gracefully. Overall the fragrance is quite strong, deep and more like something that I would wear during night time, say when I am probably going on a date night sorts :) 

I really like the fragrance a lot and find myself reaching out for it but It is little expensive considering that it is from in house Nykaa brand perfume .. I would have loved it more had it been a little more affordable. Also, it is available only in Nykaa stores and their online website.
