What does Nearly Nu smell like?
It opens with abelmoschus, the iris in the heart adds a soft powdery layer, and vanilla settles into a sweet, creamy base. Floral and sweet accords lead, with spicy, woody and resinous tones in the background and a slightly synthetic sheen.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and few choose winter. It suits daytime, leisure and the office. Penhaligon's The Omniscient Mister Thompson and Avon Iris Fétiche have a close profile.
