What's Nu?
At the moment, I don't think there is a fragrance that is as popular as "Blue Silk".
Finally I was able to test it - and I'm a bit surprised.
The scent reminds me very much of "Nu" by Saint Laurent. Unfortunately, I only have the sample of "Nu (2011)" in the house and could only compare it with this; the top note is somewhat lighter and more floral than "Blue Silk". The old version of "Nu" would be even more similar, if I remember correctly.
"Blue Silk" is a very cheap fragrance, it's also new and being actively tested, that's the only thing I can use to explain its success. And yes, it is a beautiful fragrance, I like it much better than the "Secrets d'Essences - Accord Chic", which is indicated as a twin fragrance. Also his restraint I like.
But I like "Nu (2001)" even better, it is brighter, more complex, spicier, has a much better sillage and durability. In addition, it lacks this dull, rubbery note, which I perceive in "Blue Silk" all the way to the base. This may be due to the juniper, I often have difficulties with that.
So what does "Blue Silk" have that "Nu (2001)" doesn't?
