No other powder scent is quite like this

Well, I'm just going to have to buy this one again, aren't I? Bill Blass Nude is one of those love it or hate it scents and I'm in the first camp. Smells like a fresh pair of women's nylon stockings and I mean that in the best way. It has that expensive new clothes smell I love this aldehydic mossy ever so slightly bitter powder. Would make a great signature "Oh my goodness you smell wonderful" perfume. Very classy fragrance for a nice price. It smells synthetic but at the same time, I don't always find "smells synthetic" to be a bad thing! It reminds me of shopping and browsing racks of silk and linen garments. The people who crave that doll's head scent may like this too for that very reason. Nude is an oddball but those are my favorite kind of perfumes.

He's not naked at all!

And not a trace of paleness either! Here I have a very complex fragrance in front of my nose. Perhaps not for everyone, as it is quite unique. Attracted by the fragrance pyramid, this was another absolute blind swap - and I now enjoy its great aromas without any regrets These start off quite tart, the galbanum puts on a green skirt - iridescent in all variations of this color. The rosemary leaves a purple-herbaceous impression. Some bergamot brightens things up and aldehydes float over it as a fine veil.
Then it becomes floral - but not too sweet, as all the roses, narcissus, ylang-ylang and jasmine blossoms that cavort around are given a rough and tart damper by almost mossy-smelling lichen. Some iris powder dusts dark blue in the background, then sandalwood and vetiver emerge before fading into the distance. The longevity and radiance suggest an eau de parfum rather than an eau de cologne. But quite normal for US fragrances.
A wonderful perfume costume has been created here. Not so much "naked"... but certainly underneath :-))

The aunt from America

Yes, I have (or had until recently, she unfortunately died in New Jersey in 2022 at the age of 88).
She visited us, my father (her brother) and me with her husband Paul, every few years in Germany and always brought something with her.
Around 1995 she gave me the nude (I was about 25)... at first I couldn't do much with it, it smelled kind of sweet and powdery to me :(
But since I don't just throw such gifts away, I tested it again a few years later and lo and behold, I got something completely extraordinary out of this fragrance: and that is what comes quite close to the name "Nude": the scent of skin that has been in the sun, an unobtrusive "scent" of warm human, actually naked skin! And somehow sexy :D
Unfortunately, I'm not the brightest candle on the cake in olfactory and prosaic terms, and I can't describe this fragrance as well as so many others here. But if you like a subtly powdery, warm, slightly sweet scent (which I don't really like at all, but THIS one!), this would be the one for you.
Especially as it's really cheap, which I can't understand at all, as I think it's pretty unique...
