Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nu
Nu EDT is a mysterious, spicy floral from YSL that was perhaps ahead of its time. It's a modern classic that balances warmth and coolness, offering a sophisticated twist on oriental florals. If you can hunt down a bottle, you're in for a treat.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Via Verri
This Etro offering is a short-lived whisper of elegance. It's beautiful, undeniably chic, and perfectly unisex, but its fleeting performance means it's more of a fleeting crush than a lasting love. A "love it or hate it" scent depending on your longevity expectations.

Season and Occasion Fit

Nu

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and enduring longevity, combined with its sophisticated accords, make it suitable for a dressier casual setting and dates. While some find it office-appropriate due to its softer nature compared to the EDP, its richness might be too much for everyday wear.

Via Verri

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Formal

Its subtle sillage and poor longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office, or casual settings where a light refreshment is desired. It lacks the projection and staying power for formal events or a memorable date.
