If the Color Beige had a scent Desnuda is the one

The vanilla predominates the scent then
the drydown has a bit of fruit spicy
yes i think the the iris and pepper is
responsible for the spicy drying.
i can pick up coconut and a bit of amber.
the scent fits the name and color of a nude beige
if i think of a
color and pair that with a perfume
this will be perfect.

Eau de Premenstrual Syndrome

It may be that "Desnuda" is a successful fragrance. For me, this supposedly beautiful naked woman is a spoiled goat.

Rather, I become one when I wear this little scent. I get grumpy, I get sassy, I scratch and bite. Woe to anyone within reach. I am even accused of having those certain "days before the days."

Maybe I just can't tolerate Chypres. Or Chypres disguised as Orientals or whatever. The prominent plum doesn’t save anything either. I find "Desnuda" too sour in the opening, too robustly spicy in the development, and in the base, it’s overwhelmingly woody. My stomach turns from all the severity: Even tonka and vanilla really get on my nerves here, as they don’t soften anything but rather make everything worse.

Description? A spicy Chypre with plum. Robust, intense, piercing, old-school-from start to finish. Even the dry down is not really skin-like but hits the nasal mucosa like a sledgehammer. The end.

How could it be otherwise: I can't finish the bottle. I've even started spraying the stuff in the stairwell. My neighbor smokes a pipe, and his "hobby" is registered throughout the whole building. So in the end, I’m doing something good by hating "Desnuda."

My fellow humans are certainly grateful to me. Especially that I’m not wearing the fragrance myself.

(I give 20% for the aesthetic bottle, the romantic idea with the brush applicator, and the little bit of plum in the heart note.)

Is it too weak, or are you too strong - how does that work?

I almost blindly swapped for this scent.

The fragrance notes and comments suggested a scent that could fit perfectly into my "fragrance hunting scheme".

The opening felt good, I was initially satisfied with the scent.
Tuberose, not too prominent, surrounds the other fragrance notes, which make the scent finer at the beginning.
In anticipation of what I wished for afterwards, I kept smelling it on myself and thought that the "kick" would surely come.
Practicing patience, I reapplied...
Well, I can do without heart notes sometimes...

And then... nothing more.
Okay, my nose is tuned to bold scents, but I also like semi-bold ones. Here, there’s no quarter-bold scent.
Rien ne va plus - nothing more can be done. The top note, especially the peach, just stays and stays and stays.
The scent doesn’t get deeper, softer, or more intense. For my very subjective fragrance perception.

A quite pleasant peach tuberose scent, suitable for lovers of lighter and finer "fruity scents with something around them". I say this as someone who loves heavier fragrances.
Unfortunately, it’s not a candidate for me to wear.
It’s a pleasantly light scent - I do like it - it’s not heavy and "monstrous" enough for me.
It’s just too exhausting for me to keep my nose glued to my skin to smell a fragrance; I prefer something (also a lot) more voluminous.
By the way, a very nice, appealing bottle with a little brush, for whatever reason. I have no idea what the brush is for - it looks nice and "makes an impression".
Unfortunately, it doesn’t resonate with me as it should.
And too peachy.
Sillage and longevity are very low for me.

Woolly Comfort

Desnuda? Exposed?

This title confused me - I don't like being naked.

Still, I bought the special offer blindly - because I was curious.
Would I emerge from the scent in an Eve costume - like Venus from the shell?
Or wear a transparent little dress with Desnuda?

Far from it, because already the first spray envelops me warmly with spices like pepper, cinnamon, and cardamom.
Woolly comfort surrounds me, like my favorite winter coat.
The tuberose and mandarin give the fragrance a lightness, so you don't feel "wrapped up" - like in a snowsuit.

The peach is an interesting counterpart to the spices.
It makes Desnuda chic and friendly at the same time.

Jeans and a T-shirt suit it - as well as elegant attire.

However, it is not a direct cuddler - the mandarin is too aquatic for that.

A good all-rounder, but best suited for autumn - winter.

However, I find the title "Desnuda" puzzling.

spicy, chypre, plum-like

Desnuda is a cozy scent for cooler days. Unfortunately, it's hardly available anymore. Even the top note smells really packed. A bergamot mandarin pepper peach flower salad dressed with cardamom. In a positive sense. It doesn't smell kitschy like some starlet fruit bombs that are around these days.
And then comes the plum! A truly delightful plum compote from grandma. You either love it or you don't. The little flowers peek through briefly and, so to speak, keep the plum in check, so it doesn't become too plummy.
Spicy warm and woody is the base! And I must honestly admit that I had to look up the genealogy to find out that Desnuda is a fruity chypre. I wouldn't have figured that out just from the smell of the base, as I usually catch chypres from 10 meters away. The base is indeed woody, but very warm, almost sweet and cinnamon-like, so I would have placed Desnuda, without the help of my chart, in the woody oriental category. But it isn't. The plum led me by the nose.

It's a well balanced and very discrete day scent, to wear as a second skin . It smells of "good", but it's too evanescent. Nice the bottle

It smells peach-fresh, soap-clean, spicy-peppery, sandal-creamy here. And all of that on a wonderfully fragrant flower meadow.

Velvety peach lightly spiced with cardamom. Powdery iris, creamy tuberose. Creamy and delicate. Very well done. Close to the skin. Lasts a long time.

Starts off peppery with a lot of cardamom. Then flowers and a hint of cinnamon come in.
Beautiful, rich scent that stays quite close to the skin.

Woody, powdery, cozy clean scent. Suitable for all occasions. Could also be a Jil Sander :). Sillage is more intimate.

soft and flattering like cashmere, fine and transparent like chiffon
A softener for feelings. Just layer Desnuda over it, and nothing feels harsh anymore.

Fruity, fresh, floral - it has a hint of orange soap with roses. Pleasant, clean scent. Nothing spectacular, but not without charm.

Oh dear Freesia, once again the disdainful look! It comes off me in a note between pee and sweat, not nice, such a shame about the beautiful start :-(
