Nu Eau de Toilette

Just managed to buy this again from amazon.de (germany). Brand new and it is exactly the same as the discontinued "Nu". Same lovely and cool ultrablue bottle, same wonderful scent. Completely unisex and it still is very long lasting with great sillage. I just could not believe my luck finding it again after so many years. It is clearly a spin-off on Opium and has Tom Ford written all over it. Pity it did not emerge today. It would have been the perfect niche scent. Best of all - no sugar or vanilla. Just an incense and cardamom bomb. Extremely oriental but rather in a cool way. No warmth to speak of. It suits a strong woman - one that wears more jeans and t-shirt, since I dont find it even close to being feminin. It could also suit a ditto man ( in Europe those blue ambroxan stinkers are not that popular). It is almost 1 to 1 identical to the unfortunately now discontinued, but much cheaper "Accord chic" from Yves Rochers. I am so happy that I found it again.

Soft, alluring, sensuous incense This was released way before it’s time and it wasn’t a big hit. I was originally looking for the EDP but found an unused 50 ml of this instead for a steal. Soft spicy, accessible floral modern-day interpretation of Opium. It was released almost 20 years ago but it could’ve been released today. I find Opium a bit hard to pull off but this is a dream. Never heavy or suffocating, original, no synthetic base. A beautiful mysterious and alluring perfume, in which cardamom, incense, florals and soft vanilla shine. Unisex, but feminine leaning due to its floral aspect. It’s supposed to be a more intimate perfume (‘Nu’ means naked in French) I just wished it lasted longer, I get about 6 hours after which it becomes very soft. Compared to a currently popular incense dominant scent, Encens Suave, this is more feminine, more alluring and a tad warmer, I find Nu therefore more beautiful. Performance-wise Encens Suave wins though.

Nu EDT is more feminine version of its more androgynous predecessor EDP, and it smells more floral because of the addition of neroly to the head and iris to the heart of the perfume. I love both of them for their warmth, smoothness, smokiness, sharpness and sensuality. The scent is for a strong woman:sexy and yet spiritual , vulnerable and yet open to new adventures; generous and yet discerning.... If I either want to have power over somebody or want somebody to have the power over me, I use my black magic, my Nu.....that is my cosmic Lilith And I know too well that if she is returning back to my orbit, I'm definitely having a turbulent time.... But I ask myself, isn't that what you secretly long for? Is it? My obsession...

Love it !!! I’m not a fan of unisex fragrances but boy, this is a hidden gem 💎 I consider it ahead of its time. This is one of YSLs most forgotten scents , definitely underrated and unspeakable in the frag community. It might be as women perfume but I found it really wearable in a man; if you ever smelled Black Orchid then this goes in the same vein sharing the Orchid note. Long lasting with moderate silage , it can easily be a signature scent for winter and spring . Awesome bottle (the blue one )

I love this gorgeous perfume!!! It's so divine. Such a gorgeous mix of spices, beautiful flowers and citrus, with a beautiful incense, musk and rich smooth sweet vanilla melding it all together, and it has the most divine dry down, which really lasts a long time. It's wonderful! It's exquisite. I truly adore it!!! It's one of my most favourite perfumes of all time.
