PowderyWhat does Nude (1990) (Cologne) smell like?
Most voters pick spring, followed by fall, and daily and leisure wear lead the occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. More than half of voters call it feminine, and some find it classic.
Aldehydes, bergamot, rosemary and galbanum open fresh and green. The heart gathers rose, narcissus, jasmine and ylang-ylang into a floral core, with lichen carrying the chypre character. Vetiver, sandalwood, iris and musk leave a woody, powdery base.
