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.

Thank you Mooniq for your rewiew! I buy this fragrance based on your rewiew because i love donna karan cashmere mist and i found costume national so nude very very beautiful! Is different but similar in a subtile waynot the sane notes but the sane beautiful fragrance! So nude is a very feminine scent, like woman skin but also floral i don't know tuberose but this one is very delicate floral scent! Wow!

I really like this! Upon first application there is a strong (nice!) note of fermented black/forest blueberries. This unfortunately disappears quickly after which the scent turns into a beautiful sweet and musky fragrance. I didn’t detect any sharp cardamom, which I’m very happy about, since cardamom-notes like those in Santal 33 give me a terrible headache unfortunately.

Neroli, tuberose, patchouli, blended smoothly. I love these three notes so it's a love for me. Not too loud, not light either, just right. Decent duration. 8/10

- This is amazing! It smells like a beautiful white floral to me and it lasted about 4 hours on my wrist with 1 spray. I tried it at a niche perfume store in Melbourne. I’m so surprised it has yang ylang in it bc I don’t pick it up on my skin. I’m also surprised by patchouli and cumin. It’s just a light, beautiful woody tuberose on me. The 30mL bottle is perfect for travel and I love the design of the bottle. I have a few white florals already so I don’t need this one right now but it’s lovely.

The name corresponds well, it's tuberose made skin-like. It doesn't project much, it is more subtle, woodsy, simple, slightly sweet and there are spices in all the right places, just for it to remind of a human more, with all the nuances of skin. It smells so velvety and smooth. I find it very beautiful, it is a perfect slip silk camisole or silk underwear perfume. I am rating it as a like just because I am not so huge on tuberoses, but is is just simplicity done so well. +

I’ve got a hard time to decide if I do really like it or not. The tuberose here is a bit too soapy, and the woody spice a bit too light, and the nude creamy side a bit too discreet, it doesn’t project, or does it?, and ... well, I admit that I wear it every evening those days to go to bed. So special, so what ? Go figure. I like it. A lot.

Resembles Inle by Memo. Surprised no osmanthus is in the note list.

This is very beautiful. Very feminine and not abrasive

To me, this smells more like something for scented sachets in a wardrobe, or perhaps a laundry detergent. It is a very sweet floral scent. I had hoped to get more of the spices, especially the cardamom and caraway, but what I mostly smell is that soapy, sweet rose note you might find in a laundry-detergent factory. If you overspray, this could easily become a little headache-inducing.

It was was love at first scent. I adored the intoxicatingly noticeable notes of intermingled flowered and spice. It was unique and beautiful. Then, as time past by, the scent did not disapate of dry down to a more subdued, delictible blend of this unique combination. It remained strong - sickingly so. Within hours, I was trying to wash it off as my head pounded and my stomach did flip flops. So Nude begins with such promise, but ends with a annoying strong silage and an embarrassing longevity. If you enjoy this scent and wish it to last for an exorbitant amount of time, this is for you; however, if you are looking for a lovely drydown and moderation - this may not be for you.

A real sexy cosy scent. Love it!! I often have a problem with cedernotes,it often turn male'ish on my but in nude it does not and its just perfect. A keeper! Now I have used so nude for several days and it reminds me of Donna Karan Cashmere Mist in base - the warm, muskywoody feeling. they are not the same but that basenote reminds me.. En riktigt mjuk o sexig doft. Älskar den!! Jag har ofta problem med cedernot som blir manliga på mig men inte i denna här är den perfekt. En doft att behålla! Nu har jag använt So nude några dagar och den påminner lite om Donna Karan Cashmere Mist i basnoten, den där myskträiga känslan. De är inte lika men just den noten påminner mig...

I love creamy tuberose, and the notes here are in an order so that I should love this perfume, but my initial reaction was heightened disappointment. Maybe the strength of the modern cedar-patchouli combo is just too overpowering, casting a shadow on the more pleasant facets of this perfume. My second wearing isn't bad, I feel like it is decent quality,but quite perfume-y--not a nude scent that melds with the skin. Average longevity and low sillage, fairly unisex. The floral sweetness is quite upstaged by the woods. Not sure I could use up my decant, but it's wearable, at least.

Oof -- this is loud! I don't get a lot of the spices, just very bold, slightly synthetic sweet tuberose and tropical ylang ylang. Texturally, this is very creamy. I don't like it much; despite the creamy feel, I find this to be too screechy and it seems to give me a headache. I wouldn't really know where or when to wear this either: the sweetness feels girly, but the tuberose adds a maturity. In short, So Nude does very little for me, but gaving said that, the reviews reveal such different experiences that it is probably best to check for yourself!

My, this is seriously sweet stuff. In the beginning you get a blast of cardamomy-tuberose reminiscent of cinammon..Then ylang-ylang and caraway step in...It's all super overpowering, and even though it has a potential of being a nice skin scent it just doesn't do it for me.. Settles down into a very sweet soapy smell, a little cheap smelling on me..Nowhere near a smell of a naked woman..
