La Collection Nu

Yves Saint Laurent La Collection Nu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. La Collection Nu opens with Cardamom and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orchid and Incense, and dries down to a base of Frankincense. Yves Saint Laurent's La Collection Nu carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This YSL reissue is a beautifully divisive scent. While some long for the original's punch, others embrace this softer, more modern take. Expect arguments at the dinner table, but a deeply sensual experience on skin.

About

A complex dance of smoky incense and warm cardamom kicks things off, tempered by a bright whisper of bergamot. The heart reveals a subtle floral orchid, adding a touch of elegance before settling into a deep, resinous frankincense base that lingers mysteriously. It's an amber and warm spicy affair, with a refined smokiness.
