What does Stella Nude smell like?

It opens with Moroccan rose and grapefruit: the rose brings the floral side, the grapefruit a fruity, fresh lift. In the heart, pink pepper and white peony soften the flowers. Ugandan vanilla and ambergris in the base sweeten it and close on a warm, powdery note.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and favour daily wear and the office. Most also read it as feminine. Montale Crystal Flowers and Kenzo Flower in the Air (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
