Emanuel Ungaro Desnuda is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001, created by Domitille Michalon Bertier. Desnuda opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Tuberose, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Osmanthus, and Mimosa. Emanuel Ungaro's Desnuda carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This discontinued gem is a soft, spicy skin scent that divides opinion. While some find its performance underwhelming and its opening a bit harsh, others adore its subtle warmth and creamy, sensual dry down that whispers elegance and comfort. It's a love-it-or-find-it-forgettable situation.

About

Desnuda opens with a peppery, cardamom-spiced peach, a bold yet intriguing start that quickly mellows into a plush heart of plum, delicate iris, and jasmine. The base is an enveloping embrace of vanilla and cinnamon-infused sandalwood, warmed by tonka bean and a hint of mimosa, culminating in a creamy, powdery finish that's close to the skin.
