Nu

by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud

Yves Saint Laurent Nu is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2003, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Nu opens with Neroli, Cardamom, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Iris, Jasmine, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Musk, Incense, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Nu carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

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.

Its moderate sillage and enduring longevity, combined with its sophisticated accords, make it suitable for a dressier casual setting and dates. While some find it office-appropriate due to its softer nature compared to the EDP, its richness might be too much for everyday wear.

About

Opens with a spark of citrusy bergamot and neroli, quickly spiced up by a generous dose of cardamom. The heart blooms with powdery iris and elegant jasmine, alongside the intriguing depth of orchid. As it settles, a smoky incense weave melds with a soft vanilla and clean musk, creating a captivating and enduring skin scent that manages to be both rich and understated.
