Nude by Bill Blass

ANOTHER OF MOMS FAVORITES FROM THE 90'S LOL BUT THIS ONE WAS SOMEHOW ONE OF MY FAVORITES... I FOUND IT 2B VERY WARM AND COZY AND I WOULD HAVE SWORN THAT IT HAD VANILLA IN IT BECAUSE OF ITS MILD SWEETNESS...

Encouraged by the short fragrantica list of its ingredients and your reviews I bought Nude online. So our first encounter felt somehow like a blind date.
Yes - one should be carefull meeting strangers and instead of a friendly "hello" opening the chique flacon I received a knock-on-nose followed by the kindest words of regret. Like a person who is too shy to be tender Nude had then introduced herself with rough body talk but since then still caresses me most tenderly and warm hearted as a redress of this grievance showing herself like she really is: nude

As A young teen I rembered getting a sample of this @ JCPenney.No,I rembered LOVING its scent,but totally forgetting what it was,or the name, from 15+ yrs ago and I had been hoping to figure it out.Tonite I stumbled across it listed in a clearance section @ an online discount store !" That's it !!!" I shouted to nobody in particular.OK,you get the idea.This absolutely an unforgettable perfume,even if you can't remember the name ,you WILL NOT forget the scent !! I adore it just as I do Venezia and Spellbound and a new love,Alien.I refuse to be without any of these,EVER.

I agree with Trinity on this scent - definitely made for a confident woman!

It's true...the initial whiff of Nude is overwhelming and "plastic-y"...BUT, the dry-down is MUCH better - when I wear it, I can't stop sniffing my wrists because no matter how hard I try, I can't "pin down" the scent as flowery, musky, powdery, etc. This is a mature fragrance (but not "old" lady-ish); it is subtle and endlessly intriguing.

How odd... I have a bottle of Christine Darvin's Charming (not in our data base) that I like quite a lot but hadn't found a review of it anywhere until today when I found one:

"This perfume smells exactly the same as Nude by Bill Blass, and the bottle is almost identical as well, so I'm curious if this is one of those copycat fragrances or if it's actually an authorised French version of Nude. Very strange! Although it smells almost exactly the same as Nude to me it doesn't smell as cloying as Nude so I actually quite like it."

My nose picks up in Charming the same notes as listed here for Nude. The initial blast of aldehydes is rather like plastic but the drydown settles to sandalwood and musk warmed by a light floral. Unlike anything else in my large collection and available at on-line discounters at 50%-75% less than Nude. Grab it!

"Nude" is really a strange fragrance. I did not like it at first, but now I find it quite intriguing!

Even know, to me, the first spritz is the worst! It reminds me of plastic and something terribly artificial! But just after a couple of seconds the fragrance mingles with your warm skin and reveals, slowly but steady, a wonderful, fascinating and very unusual scent! Very much skin like….but not quite either….

Strangely, I do not "get" any of the above listed ingredients….noting stands really out. It is not flowery, nor fruity, nor woodsy or musky - everything seems "muted", turned down, holding back….basic…as well as it is very much revealing and present!

I know it might sound strange, but this fragrance reminds me of a old silent movie, were the actors do not speak…(I mean you cannot hear them) but still you can perfectly follow the story since there is so much gesture and drama taking place.

"Nude" is like this to me. A silent fragrance, but with a huge impact! Once you have smelled it on you or on another woman, you won't forget it and recognize it immediately.

I would recommend this fragrance to anyone who likes unusual fragrances. "Nude" really IS one of a kind! Perfect for a mature and self-confident woman.

A signature scent for a sophisticated, feminine woman. Many florals are polite without making a statement of personal style. This floral scent has a unique twist that will get you noticed in the sublime sense of "Wow, who is she and what is she wearing?" I guarantee you could walk through a major airport and not smell this fragrance once. This is everything I had hoped the ubiquitous Chanel No. 5 would be. This scent also lives up to the often hyped "spray once and will last all day." This one really does.

Like another reviewer here, I bought Nude without trying it first because I'd read great reviews about it over the internet so I was expecting it to smell incredible. I'm very disappointed that it doesn't! It does smell different to many other perfumes but it's very different to what I was expecting and is not particularly fresh or clean smelling as many reviews said it was. It's quite intense and creamy smelling and there's something about it I'm not sure I particularly like. It's very long-lasting but the creamy intensity of it is almost a bit sickly to me after awhile.

I hope Nude grows on me and I start to like it more, but at the moment I'm a bit indifferent to it and can't see that it would become a favourite perfume of mine.

It's so intense and lasts all day. It can be a bit sickly, but I must admit I quite like it. I don't love it but it's so unusual that I can't help but put it the pile marked 'distinctive and different'. It smells a bit like 'Palmers cocoa butter' body lotion in the base notes.

i have it and i do not like it from some reason. It is too intense for me unfortunately.

I agree to agree with woogyjones50 on this one.I tried a vial of this solely because of the combo of notes I love, but it was a no-go! I believe, the lingering intensity of the base notes made me dizzy.

Bought this one without trying it first-probably not a good idea under any circumstances. But I liked the notes in it and was just sure I would love it. Unfortunately, I could not wear it. There is something in this perfume that makes me feel queasy. I think Nude is a good way to describe this perfume, however, because it does have the type of scent that seems to stay close to the body. Wish I could wear it-on paper it seems like a perfect match for me.

I use it somtimes, my sister was in love with it that she weared it to her widding.We still remember that day when we smell it.
