Nuda

I have tried nuda on my skin last night. The lasting power is overwhelming, i can still smell it on my wrist this morning. I am not that firm with the fragrance language most of you use, so i will try to describe in my own words (i am german). when i first sprayed it on my thought was "uhhhh, this is interesting". it was a very pleasent fresh soft opening with just a tiny little sweetness that was just right and not too much, so it would not prevent me to wear it as a man. it reminded my of some sort of fruit but i unfortunately would not guess what it was. the opening was all naturall and i had no chemical impression. as time past by nuda developed very interesting, as it changed its face in way i almost couldn ́t believe it. suddenly i smelled a somehow dark and a little bit sharp flowery note like flowers after e heavy rain in the early morning. not sweet at all, but heavily attracting me for some reason. it wasn ́t a regular attraction, more like "what strange thing is happening here?" Do i really like this? From then on nuda seemed to jump between these notes and while doing so the first note developed into an absolutely beautiful extremly addictive and attractive jasmin. There is no cheap or ordinary basenotes that i could make out, no vanilla, no musk, no patchouli, no amber, no tonka that many perfumes turn out to be like. That ́s what i found to be very remarkable. Nuda is all about Jasmin. From the beginning to its end. There would probably be much more to describe about nuda but - excuse my beginners nose - these were the outstanding and very remarkable things that i would experience. I could not help it keep smelling on my wrist all the time. I own Love & Tears by Kilian and i really like it. Nuda is different though. It is more special. It seems to change clothes without loosing its style. It attracts and appeals to the emotions, it challenges without being offending. It fits my skin like it was made to be there. I will be heading out to the store after writing this because there is NO WAY around buying a whole bottle of this. I haven ́t had that feeling before and i suppose that ́s my keyword. ;) And it is not that i want to go out there and buy the bottle, it ́s even more like i HAVE to do it, like i am forced to to it and there is no way around. This stuff is highly addictive!!!

I love Nuda. It's wonderful. When the the temperature's right, it's my favorite perfume of all and I wear it day & night. I often can't tell how strong a perfume is because once it gets in my nose, it sticks around. That's definitely true for Nuda. To be safe, I assume it starts pretty strong and try to time application accordingly, e.g. not right as I walk into work or just before a meeting. It lasts really well, albeit in a much toned down version. Actually, that's a plus in my opinion. I usually still smell it a little the next morning after having reapplied when I get home from work, so call it 12 hours. Where I live the winters are intensely cold. To my dismay I found that around November last year, Nuda wasn't smelling quite right. To me, all of my florals become harsh and unwearable in the depths of winter. Not sure if it's purely my perception or if I never get warm enough so the perfume doesn't develop the same way or what, but from November until now (mid-March), Nuda's been off the table. It was almost sour, very sharp and too salty while the Jasmine made me sneeze. However, now either because the weather' is warmer and so am I or I just miss it so much, it's smelling more like it did. It opens smelling very strongly of bananas, pepper and Jasmine. The Jasmine sticks around and a slightly tangy, salty, leathery, metallic scent develops. It also sweetens just a tiny bit - just enough to keep it from being sour. Not soapy at all, not harsh, not indolic either. Does not remind me of either A La Nuit or By Killian Love and Tears, the former being soapy and the latter being briefly cow-pie-like. Highly recommended; try it & if you like it, get it while you can! Oh, regarding the color of the perfume: the bottle I'm using now has been brown since I opened the packaging. The reviewer who called it cognac brown is correct. I always assumed that the pictures on the web that were pinker were just reflecting the vagaries of photography and different monitors/screens. Also, the sample I started from was brown too.

I understood its impossible to buy, so I was very lucky today to buy 90% full bottle for AU$100 on the local ads app. Blind buy. It is interesting one: - First 15 min - rotten liquorish jasmine and tuberose. It is like to take jasmine and tuberose flowers, sundry them, then to rotten for a while, then add to the sweet liquor. Very sharp and strong. Headachy, heavy and boozy - Next 15 min - burned tyres - Next 30 min - noble flowers and musk - Last hour - very close to the skin, noble, clean, expensive. Then it sits very very close to the skin and almost gone after 2 hours from the 1st spray. Seems its all natural as it is changes and plays on the skin with so many variations, that you can not believe it is the same perfume. Also, after 1st spray on my wrist I was feeling a cooling sensation, i.e. there is something like menthol there.You may find on other web-sites that peppermint is in the pyramid. Seems yes it is. PS: I am wearing it to the office today. Its pretty safe. Only first 15 min is a booze bomb, but then it becomes pretty wearable even in the morning time. Also it smells so beautifully natural, no signs of anything chemical. Its hard to wear any other perfume after it: everything else smells synthetic after Nuda. In the lunch time it is almost gone though. I also googled availability - it is still possible to buy via few sources at the reasonable price PPS: Found myself wanting to in-breath it from time to time. It is addictive guys!

Got this at Manchester Selfridges Boutique on Boxing Day for half price. Hadn't up till then stood out whensoever I had tested the Nasomattos, so I wondered whether I had made one of tbose blunders that discounts sometimes tempt you into. Until I got round to trying it, that is: the fragrance just mounted and mounted until by the half-hour mark I was gasping and sneezing! Not really, but it was seriously by that point really quite overwhelming. I would call this a daring one. The jasmine is not as indolic as some I have encountered, but what it lacks in that department is offset by the sheer weight of it. Actually I would not venture to place the jasmine in this with any great precision on some kind of skank-scale. It's hard to say (for me anyway), when there are other skanky components. And I don't believe for a moment, as the notes-list here would have it, that this is nought but jasmine.

Nuda moves me. It moves me to the point of wanting to flip out my Visa card and purchase a full bottle for $185 for a mere 30 ml of this spellbinding discontinued perfume, all within 10 minutes alone with a sample of this alluring beauty. Pure jasmine...I even feel that the wooded stems are included in the opening, rather warm with a moderate indolic note. As this evolves on my skin the wooded notes seem to tease the jasmine awake and arouse her forth. Nuda doesn't feel carnal, dirty or lustful, although there is a decidedly sexual character about this perfume. No, Nuda is sexually self-assured and positively dauntless in purity. Jasmine in this presentation is incredibly fortifying and is truly a testament to the power of aromatherapy.
