What does So Nude (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Cardamom, neroli and cumin start it off with a spicy freshness. In the heart, ylang-ylang, tuberose and damask rose form a floral core, while patchouli, Virginia cedar and sandalwood add a woody base. The fruity and sweet sides soften into a creamy, powdery texture.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards daytime, leisure and office wear. Most voters find it feminine. Amouage Reflection Man and Hermès Twilly d'Hermès Eau de Parfum have a close profile.
