Bijan Nude

I first tried this on the inside of my wrist with a very light spray and first impression is soap, like the one you pushed the metal dispenser up and soap flakes come out.... I know, I know... it dates me a bit, hahaha! I then did a full spray on the back of one of my hands and the aldehyde was very strong but quickly mellowed out and turned back to the soap smell. There is almost no sweetness to this at all. It's very earthy, slightly powdery but not like baby powder, more of what I would think a vintage powder smells like. After about a half hour I get a very faint floral, quite delicate scent. On me, it is not strong at all. It's very subtle. I'm quite impressed! UPDATE: This is my go to fragrance when I'm going someplace like a hospital or nursing home and want to wear perfume but don't want it to stand out. To me this is a very comforting fragrance. It lasts longer in cold weather than in warm weather but smells great in both. Update 2: I am so in love with this perfume! I bought another bottle of this juice today and have one on it's way in the mail. I want to be stocked up :) It layers so amazing with other perfumes and on it's own is so cozy and is a little sexy when it's hot out and mixes with sweat.

Finaly this arriwed to me . Instant Love :) i am so so happy i got the chance to get this in a swapp. So smouth , fresh ,clean , and sunny . This makes me smile and thinks off happy summerdays whit ice cream and jolly friends. It is a sweet creamy, honey like feal to this that is so beautiful . not sharp , not sticky, just fresh and inviting.Kind off cooling rather then warm ( if you know what i meen. like a breeze. the white chocolate brings a fresh sweet feal that being tamed so well bu the other notes , The lilac brings this cool fresh feel to it whit lilyof the valley. Iris and rose makes it a tiny bit powderey. but not to much. i can feal some musk and cedar aswell.. I was initialy a bit afraid off the aldehydes in this one . but it just lift it to a bright and sunny thing. a fealing off joy. Not anything harsh or to grown up it this . just a pleasure to wear . this is a stayer and a good one in my wardrobe for shure . . This is mostly a day time fragranse , but shorly i will use it whenever i nead a happy feal and a mood lifter aswell .. day or night <3

Interesting scent that I love. Creamy, sweet, musky and a bit of powder . The rose, cedar, and lilac clean it up and keep it from being too sugary. It`s cold clean fluffy snow days,and fuzzy soft pastel angora sweaters. It is cuddly . But not a warm fragrance. But there is something in this combination that evokes nostalgia. Like when I was a child unwrapping new baby dolls at Christmas in the 1970`s. An artificial, yet not unpleasant smell. When I first sampled this in Perfumania ,it smelled to me more of natural woman, skin glowy healthy scent. I thought of it the perfect non-tropical summer scent. I must have been picking up only on the sandalwood, musk and cedar? I ordered it later online,and when it arrived,it was not as I remembered at all. I was surprised, but pleasantly so ! I love the bottle. It`s painted a strange pale beige colour. I love vintage lucite, and the top it reminds me of that. Looks retro 1970`s.

For me bijan nude is a gourmand woody type of perfume. Strong at first blast which has put me off a bit on the first spray but after 10 or more minutes on skin, it becomes powdery, velvety, and creamy. Quite nostalgic for me makes me go back to a time when I used to steal a spray or two of my granny's vintage perfume which was sitting proudly together with her talcum powder on her vanity table. This is how I can describe this perfume has a vintage feel but not dated and very comforting. I spray some on me to put me to sleep but nevertheless I can proudly spray it on me everyday especially in fall. Not bad for the price either the only let down is the bottle itself could have been better but the scent for me is more important.

j'ai juste littéralement adoré ce parfum ,acheté de prime abord comme cadeau pour une autre personne, je n'aurais pas pensé aimer au vu des ingrédients, donc très agréable surprise, il est doux ,crémeux ,poudreux ,enveloppant, réconfortant très doudou j'adore son petit coté classe et le porter dans le froid de l'hiver est un pur délice.le mélange chocolat blanc iris est délicieux et surtout n'a strictement rien a voir avec les parfums girly roses aux odeurs de sirops contre la toux gluants et écoeurants ce parfum s'adresse aux femmes c'est certain.

Just got my bottle in a "blind" buy. I love the creamy opening. The sillage is good and the longevity is better than average. For the money, this fragrance is superior. Bijan has not let me down on any of the three I have. I do not smell the white chocolate. My nose must be remedial. Update: My nose is no longer stopped up and I now smell the creamy white chocolate. It really is delectable!

weird in the top like Kenzo L'Elephant with huge tuberose then mellows to a lipstick makedup powdery scent that is all about iris and reads as violet on the skin; lovely and close. In the end, I get lots of ylang then that leaves you with a lovely musk you want to rub your nose in. Very vintage with lots of character and depth for a cheapie.

This perfume is so beautiful and remind me of so many other perfumes. The opening is very Hummingbird by Zoologist, but then it changes to Lipstick On by MM Replica but with a sweet honey base instead of the waxy base of of Lipstick. Wow, I'm so glad I've hunted down a bottle of this.

Creamy and delectable. A creamy musky rose gently swirling around me. when I wear this I long for a breeze to continually waft the scent so I can wrap myself in it. Sensual and feminine - fast becoming one of my favourites - always is a good time to wear it. What a great find.

Did a BB based on a recommendation on this site. This is just the right blend of notes for a hot Southern California day. It is lite, breezy and just right for a pick me up scent. The price is right at under $10 to wear as often as I like. Worth a try.

Delicious white chocolate milk shake! Monster silage! Love this stuff!

I can see why people have mentioned Iris Ganache when sniffing Bijan Nude, and it's because both of these perfumes have a BIG OLE VIOLET note that is not listed in them that, for some odd reason, doesn't show up in any pyramids I have seen anywhere online. In fact the violet is so huge in Iris Ganache that I looked at Guerlain's website, as I was certain they'd mention it, but they also did not speak of it. Bizarre because there is far more violet in both of these perfumes than iris. But is this a dupe for Iris Ganache? Hell to the No. Bijan Nude smells more like Balenciaga, with its tender violets and earthy base. It also smells like Nicolas de Barry's Sissi. Again, violet, violet, violet. I don't smell any white chocolate in this perfume and smell nothing gourmand about it. I don't even detect vanilla or tonka. Taking away any and all expectations of the perfume before having sniffed it, for $10 it's quite pleasant. It does have that "nude" sweet, clean flowers, and musky quality about it that typically adds up to a "nude" perfume. Not cloying but soft sillage. I could think of a lot worse for $10.

I have never been interested of scents that contains chocolate, I thought they would be sugarsweet and for teenagers. I was wrong. I bought Bijan Nude and got swept away. Absoloutely wonderful, gorgeous, great. Lots of white chocolate and Iris and musk and it turn magic on my skin. Sweet in a very sexy way. I'm in love - totaly. Longlasting on my skin, I sprayed on my wrist in evening - and when I woke up I can still smell Bijan Nude - thats a Wow-factor.. Jag har ratat dofter med choklad-noter, rädd för att de ska vara för sockersöta och riktade mot tonåringar. Oj, så fel jag hade. Jag köpte Bijan nude och den knockade mig totalt. Absolut underbar, härligt fantastisk. Jag känner vit choklad, Iris och Musk mest och på min hud blir den magisk, jag kan inte sluta sniffa på handleden. Söta doftnoter - men det är väldigt sexiga söta doftnoter. Bara älskar den totalt..Sprejade på mig denna på kvällen och kunde fortfarande känna doften av Bijan Nude när jag vaknade - det är riktigt wowkänsla.

Sometimes when I look at reviews and notes, especially as they are voted in dominance, I think my nose is broke! And what is it about this scent that screams "Lolita Lempicka" to me? It appears to be a combination of the lilac and LOV notes (the second which is very intense to my nose), along with the sweetness of the white chocolate. This is so unique. It's surprising that we don't hear more about it. The notes really collide with each other in the most perfect way, never quite meshing, but sort of playing tag and constantly moving. I have a rollerball sent from a Fragrantican, and will thoroughly enjoy it as I continue to use it. EDIT: I've continued to try this, and I've gotten really close to wanting a bottle. It really is a great, feminine, sensual without being outright sexy, cozy scent. I still get Lolita Lempicka . . . A touch. But it's just a really nice blend of very different notes that we don't often see combined. Definitely not the same-ol!

Third bottle. Absolutely loooove Bijan Nude. For every bottle its just more and more RIGHT on my skin. I guess this is the most sweet scent I have, but its sweet in right way. I love white chocolate, aldehyder, musk, powdery iris and lilac-mix! Sweet, warm, powdery and superfeminine. Bijan Nude stays forever on my skin, very longlasting and often you can find it to a very good price too.. worth trying. A keeper! tredje flaskan. Bara ääälskar Bijan Nude. För varje flaska så blir den bara mer o mer rätt på min hud. Jag tror att detta är den sötaste doften jag har, men denna är söt på rätt sätt. Jag älskar noterna av vit choklad, aldehyder, musk, pudrig iris och syren. Söt, varm, pudrig och superkvinnlig. bijan Nude sitter otroligt länge på min hud. Om du hittar den så är den inte speciellt dyr, värd att prova. En dyrgrip på hyllan!

The first whiffs are of super-sweet, honeyed, syrupy, fruity musk with a little almond, almost a Serge Lutens vibe minus the spice. The almonds and fruits quickly go away and the sweetness subsides, so that the scent does a 180-degree turn, morphing into a powdery, leathery violet set against a clean, fuzzy musk. It’s a strong “fuzzy blanket” type musk that after 3-4 hours dries down to lose some of the fuzziness and become more of a warm, translucent, slightly soapy, slightly floral musk. It’s interesting that the florals wait until the end to appear. Sillage is moderate to strong, with all-day longevity. Nude is a well-made fragrance that’s a great bargain given how cheaply it’s sold online. If you like clean musk scents, I would recommend this most highly.

I really don't know what I am smelling here. I detect no White Chocolate that I have ever known but there certainly is a lot of Iris. All I get on opening is furniture polish. An antique chest of drawers comes to mind, definitely a musky note as in old. The woody notes are quite wearable on dry down with just a little sweetness coming from somewhere but I just can't pick the note. I like this and I don't like this, depends on the day. If you can get past the furniture polish opening, it's OK. Not something I would reach for every day, definitely an "in the mood" fragrance, more for winter I think. I don't mind the shape of the bottle, it is as odd as the perfume itself, looks good on my shelf.

I really like this. No, it's not the same as Iris Ganache, but for ten bucks I don't expect it to be. It's just not realistic to think that a $10 perfume is going to smell the same as a $500 Guerlain exclusive. It's a nice, sweet, soft fluffy scent- not harsh or offensive at all. I agree with the comparisons to Lolita Lempicka, though I find this much more powdery. Creamy too. Unfortunately I will have to decant it into something because the bottle is just so hideous. In fact, the bottle is SO hideous that it is probably the reason this perfume is overlooked. Even the paint on the bottle is cheap, you can see on the bottom where they missed some spots. Yikes.

i get very soft natural unsweetened cinnamon from this mixed with white chocolate. that may sound strange considering that cinnamon isn't listed in the notes but thats what my nose detects. there is a powdery feel but not in the loves baby soft way. there is no baby powder smell to this at al but more of a perfumed dusting powder vibe to it. it comes across clean musk & spice on me. i like this A LOT

The union of Prada Candy and Kenzo Flower. While Prada insisted on stamping out Kenzo’s prized roses, she did tone down her caramel sweetness to highlight her soft musky, vanillic features, with which the dignified, powder-veiled Kenzo proved to be compatible. So, skin to skin, began their shaky truce, in the house of Bijan.

This is a very cuddly scent. It smells creamy and floral. It has been compared to Bill Blass Nude and they are but Bijan is cool weather and Bill Blass is summer. I feel that if you like Bijan original you will like this too. There is just nothing offensive about it! Happy Perfuming! ♥

smells like peche-melba desert with some vanilla ice cream.soft and comfortable,not very unique but it is safe and close to skin,perfect for autumn,feels like walking on a park or tea time afternoon,with pastel camisole an umbrella. thanks for swap my friend i.i :)

I can feel the smell of this one after I washed my hands TWICE...and using a soap The drydown is worth to wait for Don,t think that you can find something similar like this one Really special and bold definitely cold weather fragrance Well made , Bijan

Clean, gentle powdered Iris is what I smell too and on my skin is a dry down of cedar as well. It feels fresh and creamy. I enjoy this more than Avon Far Away as the sweetness doesn't overpower the other notes.

VERY mellow scent....relaxing. Would be great for bedtime or good enough for the office. Is Soapy, clean, fresh scent with woodsy smell of the outdoors. It reminds me of "Floriental" by Lagerfeld.

Ariel washing powder in a bottle. I love it, though!

Ouch! Can't believe 'sweet' is third on the list of accords. To me, this is very, very sweet. Floral? Perhaps.. Sugar coated flowers! Woody? Maybe.. Caramelised wood! Not really my thing. I've had it on my wrists and neck for about an hour.. Drydown I can live with, quite warm, fuzzy, cozy. But still too sweet for my nose ;) For those living in Europe(or even Holland)- I have a 2.5 oz./ 75 ml bottle for swap!

Ugh, I'm crying at the comparison of this and Iris Ganache. They are so different! They literally have nothing in common but two notes (which are executed in vastly different ways). This one clearly has aldehydes (which give it a completely different feel) and it's definitely not as smooth, creamy, powdery, or vanillic as IG. This scent is flat, and smells thin in comparison. This is the fat free milk, and IG is the whipping cream. This is like the cheap imitation version ("Smells like CK One", etc type scent) but really doesn't smell like Iris Ganache. I just can't. I bought this because IG is my signature and people told me I'd like this. I don't. It's just NOT an acceptable alternative :( I wish it was! Even if I wasn't comparing this scent to IG (which is a masterpiece, imho), I still wouldn't like it. It smells weak, kind of cheap, and boring. Sorry if that comes off mean. I just LOVE iris scents, and I've tried a LOT, and this one is by far the worst, and I'm not just saying that because it's inexpensive. Also, I get loads of vetiver, which I don't like (not in this scent at least)

I really wonder if I have the same perfume everyone is raving about. Starting from the bottle, it never stopped to remind me a vibrating sex ring. But anyway, I don't really care about the bottle if the perfume is nice itself. But my skin couldn't get it. I would have been happy if I smelled like aldehydes really. It smells like a plastic doll from the beginning to the end. And not even a Barbie doll, rather an old Bibi bo or an immitation of a doll anyway. I could not get any gourmand, powder or flowers from it. Luckily the sillage is low to moderate even if I sprayed a lot, so people didn't have to suffer from me smelling like a bad quality doll. Sometimes a cloud of bad plastic Opium quality pops up making me wonder even more what is wrong with this perfume. Well, I guess it must only be my skin. I hope no other people have this reaction to their skin.

I owned this back in 2012 I initially heard that Bijan Nude was similar to Bill Blass Nude so since I have been a fan of B.B. Nude since it’s launched over 25 yrs ago anyway I was walking inside Tjmax and saw this and grabbed it up well long story short it’s not as close to Nude BB this just didn’t lay right on my skin. Sorry this wasn’t for me. I gifted it to my mother she smelled good with this on. Phenomenal staying power tho.

I was so looking forward to testing Bijan Nude but was sorely disappointed. It doesn't work for me at all. I put some on my wrist and nearly recoiled. On my skin it's a chemical, synthetic mess. Nothing pleasant about this scent (on me at least). I can't even discern any of the ingredients, just chemical horribleness, and the notes sounded so promising...

I think that Britney Spears Fantasy The Naughty Remix and Bijan Nude Bijan smells really alike with the sharing notes of white chocolate, orrisroot/iris and musc. I hade Bijan Nude nad liked it but then i got tired of it. I hope i wont get tired of Fantasy The Naughty Remix. Thankfully the orris note is not as strong nad nauseus as the iris in Bijan Nude.

This one was an unfortunate blind buy for me. I was hoping for a fresh, creamy perfume with hints of white chocolate like so many others described. What I got was a powdery, peppery perfume that ends up smelling weirdly dusty on me. I'm hoping this is better on me in colder weather, but in the mean time, I'm just not a fan of it. Sad!

I really like the white chocolate scent, but aldehydes are nothing short of obnoxious on me, and aldehydes resonate at least from beginning to middle. I don't know if they stay all the way down because I've had to wash it off both times I've tried to wear it. Too bad for me, because it's probably a very cuddly scent on other people.

Flowers and some strange bitter smell, no chocolate, nothing sweet and creamy...no good smell at all....awful. Well...chocolate and aldehydes...I should have known.

When I sprayed it, I liked it. But as the day went, this fragrance was making me sick. Definitely not for me. Swapped.

I am sorry too say it... but maybe by 80's it was fine.. today... just strange sentiment.

It smells like sugared or sweetened iris. Interessting i think, but i smells good :)

Love it! This is a very soft, warm and not too sweet perfume. It is more like a bodylotion smell. It ́s slightly sweet and that ́s the chocolate in it but if you are looking for a not offending daily fragrance then this is the one.

I love the original Bijan with its bold floral oriental flair, so I was curious to try Bijan Nude. The notes didn’t outright appeal to me, and reviews seem quite mixed, but I went for a swap anyway. Aldehydic blast for the first 5 minutes is your introduction to Bijan Nude, and the aldehydes seem to linger albeit becoming more mellow and playing a supportive role after the first 20 minutes. I think what is labeled as iris, I am smelling as an orris root smell (which always has a strong celery/celeriac smell). The orris combined with the vetiver give a dry, vegetal, rooty-woody smell that is not quite herbal. The aldehydes force this smell to a very light, dry level and the combination creates a powderiness that is distinctly powdery but not in a usual way—not a rosy powder, nor a grey, cool, dusty powder, but the powderiness of sunlight streaming over dry bales of hay with dust motes sparkling in the air. There is cedar here, which to me can give a chypre type feel to a perfume; Bijan Nude is almost “chypre-light.” I don’t get any lilac, rose, LOTV or white chocolate, which all sound lovely but simply aren’t making themselves known to my nose. There is a musky quality that is rather earthy and with the orris, a tiny bit sweaty (it’s almost a cardamom scent). I could see how one could view this as a slightly masculine scent, but I think it is quite unisex. My first impression was that I did not like this fragrance. As the hours have worn on, my opinion is changing. This is unique and pleasant in a way that isn’t “in your face” but isn’t timid or vapid, either. This is not a typical fragrance, and I think it could grow on me. I will say—if you are looking for a flanker of Bijan that is similar or even slightly related to the original, this is not it. It is a completely different, and unique, perfume.

Soapy clean cosyness with an exhilerating aldehydic foam top. For some strange reason I get reminded of pear candies, pear cider or similar. Once the aldehyde party has cooled off this turns into a warm soft skin scent. For my taste the iris could be a little more prominet, so I layered with Yardley Iris yesterday and loved this combination. All in all, Bijan Nude is a very unique fragrance in my collection. Usually aldehydes seem to be used in "grand" perfumey scents but here it is like the sweet edgy icing on a homemade cake that is not overly sweet. I have a feeling I will be wearing this often in autumn. Now I am a bit curious about Bijan in general and have ordered the original Bijan for women, too. Update September 2013: This is getting better in cooler weather! I still get the pear candy thing but today I can also smell the creamy chocolate. Yumm this is so comforting. Thumbs up for a great value fragrance that stands out from the crowd.

I finally decided to get to a review about this one. Bijan Nude... What I first and foremost love about this perfume is that it retains vintage vibes in spite of it being created in 2007. Perfume these days, I feel, is not textured or as complex as they used to be. Especially now that people want to smell like nothing (molecules) or just very singular or basic scents... Bijan Nude for Women is terrific. It is Dove soap with white chocolate and woody notes and rose... it’s fresh without being freshy fresh. Warm, soft, enveloping... like nude suede leather... feminine... the rose is so delicate; well done. This is a sunny and refreshing day at the beach. I would say this is a sunny and slightly floral and woody Cashmere Mist EDT. And if you love Bijan for Women, I feel this retains the Bijan DNA despite being a different scent than the original.

I bought this for $4, and I couldn't be happier! Yes, it's chemical and synthetic. But, as a whole- this smells wonderful! It's weird... it's like a white chocolate bar dipped in dish soap. LOL. But it works! It's a light airy SOAPY (floral woody) white chocolate/cookie. I didn't find it super potent, and the sillage/longevity was meh, but for my $4- I love it! Reminds me of Molinard Vanille Marine in a way. Some whiffs are super clean/soap/floral, some are pure cookie/chocolate. And when it meshes together- it's delightful. Anywho- for dirt cheap- I highly rec this. I tried it during a cold day. I have Bill Blass Nude, and I don't find them similar. While they are both soapy (aldehydes) this stands WAY out for that white chocolate.

Pretty and "oh so girly!",this fragrance is easy, at the beginning a little sharp (could be annoying in large quantity), cheerful floral/green/gourmand, slightly sweetish and somehow bubbly. Rather nice, really, but I think it's a bit misnamed: by "nude" I would imagine a subtle skin scent. This one is pretty strong on me and has quite a bit of a presence. I like the white chocolate here, like it a lot - while when it comes to eating chocolate - I can't see any point in white one - a chocolate without cocoa solids (that make chocolate "chocolate") is not chocolate.:-D Here, however, it's perfectly complimentary to the other components. So as far as I am concerned white chocolate must have been made solely for this fragrance. :-)

Got my new bottle of this today. Have to say I LURVE the bottle. Sprayed a little on my wrist, yes I can see the washing powder connection. It's certainly a 'clean' smell and one that I imagine, used sparingly, would be acceptable 'office-wear'. This perfume smells very artificial to me at the moment which puts me off a bit. I'll see how I get on with it. Couple of hours later: Mmm, this is really nice when it's calmed down a bit, it reminds me of Laura Biagiotti Emotion. Update, I had to give this away. Wore it out on a cold day and kept getting a chemical blast. It is very, aggressively, strong! Can't be bothered with perfumes that you have to try to avoid breathing round, especially when you're wearing them!

"Nude" smells just like taking bath with very perfumed soap)) and then applying body lotion. I think the name suits the fragrance very well. obviously, it does not have an exquisite, refined, expensive vibe or anything like that. But if you like soapy/creamy scents, it might do. I don't find it sweet, the white chocolate note doesn't make it "edible"; iris, lilacs and lily-of-the-valley made the scent appealing to me (i just like the flowers=) also, i found the EDT rather strong - i think one spritz is more than enough, if you don't want anybody to choke)) not bad in general, i'd say even interesting, reminds me of my aunt's body cream (which was nice, btw) but the pacifier bottle is too funny)))

I just blind bought this because it was really cheap. ($12.99 for 2.5 OZ.) and I also studied the notes and I liked it, so I decided to open it up. I took a quick sniff to the perfume spray while in the bottle, and I thought it was good. I sprayed it on my skin and it turned into "soap"... but I waited, and now it grew on me. I go back to this one over and over again. Funny thing, it smells better the longer it stays on your skin. My husband likes it too, he almost never says he likes a scent. he always says: " it's OK". I also like that it is different from the rest of the scents I own. I think it is at its best in a winter night.

Bijan Nude is a pleasant perfume, although not as wonderful as I had thought it would be from reading some of the reviews of it here! It smells creamy, clean, slightly woodsy and when I first smelled it, it totally reminded me of Bill Blass 'Nude', although it's nicer than that. I was really hoping I'd be able to clearly smell the lilac in this because I adore the smell of lilac but, sadly, I can't smell it at all - that's so disappointing! It's one of those perfumes that I find hard to detect individual notes in, for some reason. Maybe Nude will grow on me but for the moment I just kind of like it but I'm not loving it.

First of all, I love the original Bijan. So, I decided to try this to see how it is. Unfortunately, it didn't work well for me, so I'm glad I got a sample rather than buying a full bottle. Reading some of the reviews here, I was expecting a "just out of the shower" powdery, fresh, clean smell. What I got was a smell like I was trapped in a musty, dusty cedar chest filled with old, dried flowers and an old box of chocolates, in an musty, dusty, old attic.... and someone just let me out! That cedar note packed a wallop on me. Sorry, folks! I'll pass on this one. (>_<)

Bijan Nude is extremely similar to Ellen Tracy. I already have Ellen Tracy and decided to blind purchase Bijan Nude based on the reviews. I love it. It's like Ellen's younger sister. Bijan is a little creamier, sexier, more vivacious, and definitely demands more attention. The longevity and sillage are outstanding. Great for anytime. Nude is not too sweet at all. I got tons of compliments within minutes. Quite affordable and will make you feel like a sexy vixen.
