Nude by Bill Blass Review
Description
Nude is one of the early 1990s’ forgotten gems—in its heyday, it excited women and men who took a whiff of it for its boom of aldehyde and well-blended florals. It is not sticky, not cloying, although it can be synthetic in the beginning. The notes, although difficult to tell apart, are present and consistent all the way to drydown. Its excellent sillage will undoubtedly gain you compliments, and all day too because of great performance. Give it time if you find it off-putting with the first spray; many have found this to grow on them in time.

The blast from the past in the form of a perfume was created by legendary perfumer Sophia Grojsman. Introduced to the ladies in the 1990s, it was launched in conjunction with two other fragrances from Bill Blass, which are Hot and Basic Black. Both top and middle notes have florals such as rose, narcissus, jasmine and ylang ylang blending, besides the aldehyde. Its base notes of of musk, vetiver and sandalwood give it a slightly earthy, absolutely sensual, appeal.
