NU SO DE

This one is the only fragrance that I think has truly captured the essence of your skin but better. It really is such a lovely enhancer and makes you feel better and also at peace. I don’t detect much floral more sweet cardamom like musk and I actually HATE musky scents but this is the perfect mix of woodsy, powdery but skin like powder with how smooth it is blended and an overall peaceful scent. Overall I’d say this would be a good office scent, it would be hard to find someone that hates it I think... Update: I bought it! I tried it twice, I remember the first time was with a sales associate, she thought it would be really nice for me and at the time I didn’t mind it but I was HEAVY in my gourmand perfume hunt so I wasn’t looking for it. Then I tried it maybe a few weeks ago again and I really liked it, decent longevity, not a big sillage but it’s not really made to be a big performer which I’m fine about because THIS will probably be my office scent and in fact I’m surprised I didn’t buy it earlier but I’m happy because I bought this on a ridiculously good sale price 😍🤑

Oh wow. I bought sample of this at the Nose shop in Paris and walked around Paris for a week thinking everyone in the city smelled divine, only to keep finding the source of this wonderful scent my own wrist. Warm cardamom is definitely front and center here and remains so for 12-24 hours. It’s so wonderful. The flowers, to me, don’t smell floral but do lend a certain sweetness and milkiness to the cardamom. Wearing this makes me feel the same way cozying up with a milky chai tea. I don’t get any of the cedar, (thank goodness because it always leans hyper masculine on me) and the faintest neroli keeps things feeling clean rather than dirty/spicy. This is going to be my go-to this fall/winter.

I just purchased this mature, sensual, intimate fragrance on ebay Italy for a ridicolous price. The ylang-ylang is prominent, but not overpowering. It's a bit dusty and pungent white flower opening, which molds togheter tuberose and rose. After twenty minutes, this delicate mixture forms a sort of second skin. Personally, I do not detect any resemblance to Burberry Body: So Nude notes are much more sensual and closer to skin. The drydown is almost androgynous: the cedar is strenghtened and emboldened by caraway. Staying power is just a matter of individual skin chemistry: it greatly varies during life. On me, So Nude permeates my wrist for 8+ hrs!

Got a crazy deal on this after smelling it in a local gift shop one day, spraying it, huffing my wrists like a maniac all day, and going back over a month later after not being able to stop thinking about it. When I took it home and sprayed it, I was worried I had overhyped it to myself (just another white floral, what's the big deal?), but in mere seconds, I remembered why I fell in love with this fragrance. This is less of a capital-P Perfume to me and more a bottle of what people who smell good smell like. It smells effortless. No makeup makeup, but for perfume. Wear it anywhere all the time forever.

I LIKE this so much! It becomes a skin scent rather quickly on me, but what a delicious skin scent it is :) Sweet, creamy, slightly woody and soft spicy. So well blended, in my opinion. I will be wearing this often, and am keen on testing other perfumes from this house now. So Nude, is my introduction to CoSTUME NATIONAL and what a pleasant introduction that turned out to be. I recommend So Nude if you want something a little different, mildly exotic and non offensive. And it turns out to be a decent choice for layering with some of my sweet perfumes as well.
