Which Should You Buy?
A tragically discontinued masterpiece, YSL Nu EDP still commands a cult following for its deep, sensual spice and incense. Many lament its loss, while others cherish their "hockey puck" bottles like precious relics. This is Y2K dark glamour, polarising but unforgettable.
Perfume Parlour's Creative For Women follows the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Nu: a cardamom and bergamot opening over orchid and black pepper, then sandalwood, musk and vetiver. It drops the smoky incense of the original, so it reads cleaner and drier.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its strong sillage and deep, spicy character make it less suitable for office wear. However, its sensual and mysterious nature, coupled with many reviews highlighting its evening appeal, positions it perfectly for dates and formal events.
Seasons
Cardamom, pepper and sandalwood suit cool air, so autumn and winter carry it best. It is too warm and spicy for the heat of summer.
Occasions
A restrained spicy floral that works at the desk and into the evening without being loud.
