Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

Occasions
Its rich, intoxicating floral-vanilla profile makes it highly suitable for dates and formal events, leaving a memorable sillage. While it's too warm and enveloping for sport, its decent projection means it might be a bit much for a very confined office space, but is still versatile enough for casual evening wear.
