Inspired by the concept of the artistic nude as an expression of the human soul, this fragrance asserts a spirit. Nude is being oneself, today and tomorrow. With its strong character, So Nude expresses the personality of self-confidence, an individual not afraid to unveil their essence. A modern-day goddess, she expresses her emotions and reveals her intentions, showing her grace and sensuality. Nude is the essence of essence of seduction and at the same time, it is truly accepting of the true you. There are no boundaries in this intriguing spicy floral bouquet, heroing the carnal flower – Tuberose. So Nude mesmerises those around it with its playful spice, its alluring heady floral and its mysterious depth.

HOW IT WEARS
So Nude is an Eau De Parfum, so should generally give the wearer anywhere from 6 – 8 hours of longevity on the skin. The Cardamom is brightened with notes of Neroli in particular, coming to life with the warmth of the skin. Settling into a wonderful Tuberose scent, the early notes create a clean and freshly seductive, uplifting and yet comforting scent. With a base with a grounding Sandalwood, So Nude’s should last 8 hours, without being overwhelming.
LORE LOVES
We love how the intoxicating notes of Tuberose and other divine, fleshy florals in So Nude combine effortlessly with soft woods and spice, creating an air of mystery and femininity without being too pure, or ‘girly’. Communicating an earthy sense of seduction reminiscent of an affair from a summer long ago, or fleeting memory of a once cherished romance gone by. The memory of which, although distant, is still tangible, and always remembered with a smile. So Nude is there, but yet it isn’t. Like your own fresh, naked flesh, but better…hence the name.
