Nearly Nude

7.5

DefineMe · 2025

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

DefineMe Nearly Nude is a unisex perfume that leaves a clean, soft skin-like impression, sitting between fresh and powdery. It opens with a sensual skin accord, oat and bubble bath; the heart brings oat milk, linden blossom and ISO-E-Super. In the base, musk, ambroxan and benzoin settle it onto a creamy, warm footing. The overall feel is fresh, floral, aquatic and powdery, with a synthetic cleanness running through it. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays close to the skin as a quiet scent, though the number of ratings is small and these figures are tentative. Its unisex character makes it easy to wear through the day. Guerlain L'Heure Bleue (2026) and Byredo Blanche (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Lalawoo

7.6

DefineMe · 2024

Sweet · Gourmand · Powdery

DefineMe Lalawoo opens on pistachio and marzipan, then turns to caramel, almond milk and praliné: a sweet gourmand scent made for women. Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. No clear season or occasion stands out. It begins with pistachio and marzipan up front. In the heart, caramel, almond milk and praliné take over, and vanilla with cream liqueur softens the base. The overall feel is sweet, creamy and lightly powdery. Al Fanak Parfums Vanilla Pistachio and Terres Dorees Vanille have a close profile.
