NU SO DE

by Dominique Ropion

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

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.
