Costume National Scents NU SO DE Parfum is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Dominique Ropion. NU SO DE Parfum opens with Caraway, Neroli, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Costume National Scents's NU SO DE Parfum carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

NU SO DE is a fascinatingly divisive scent. Some call it an intoxicating tuberose masterpiece, a 'skin-like' enhancer that smells effortlessly clean and naturally good. Others find it screechy, chemical, or headache-inducing, fading fast into nothingness. You absolutely must try it yourself.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Spring Fall

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and 'skin-like' quality, as reported by many, make it suitable for office wear, though some find it a bit too loud. The sensual floral-woody blend is ideal for date nights and creates an inviting aura for casual settings, but its specific floral character may limit its formal appeal.

About

This one opens with a warm, spicy jolt of cardamom and a clean, citrusy whisper of neroli, quickly giving way to a creamy, full-bodied white floral heart. Tuberose, rich and velvety, blends seamlessly with the tropical sweetness of ylang-ylang and delicate rose. As it settles, a smooth, grounding base of sandalwood and cedar emerges, providing a soft, woody embrace that's subtly earthy.
