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.

Our Verdict - Delight
If a silk shawl could talk, it would smell like Delight by Swiss Arabian. This is a wonderfully balanced, subtly spiced floral with a creamy, powdery vanilla finish, perfect for those who want an 'Arabian' feel without being overwhelmed by intense traditional notes. It's an intoxicating crowd-pleaser.

Its rich, intoxicating floral-vanilla profile makes it highly suitable for dates and formal events, leaving a memorable sillage.
