Nude

I love this, to my nose it is Valaya x Musk Therapy. Somewhat similar to Fleur Narcotique, which I own, but not directly similar: It’s something in the airy, effervescent scent trail… the similarity is not really identifiable when it first hits your nose. It is definitely the same TYPE of perfume as all three. I owned a Valaya dupe, which I’ve since decluttered, so I feel my desire for that scent profile has been satiated since a couple years ago. I feel I do not NEED this and likely would reach for Fleur Narcotique over this time and time again. I feel being happy with Fleur Narcotique, combined with once owning a decent Valaya dupe keeps me from spending the money on this. But without those factors, this would have been a definite FBW perfume for me.

Beautiful! Another QB I love! Starts out with a burst of bright and happy peach/pear combo mixed with the florals, but very well blended so it's not leaning overly fruity or overly floral. As for the floral aspects, I definitely get a combo of violet leaf and lily of the valley, but again, not overly floral. Then the peony starts to come in. I love peony! The main portion of the wear is peony and soft fruitness. In the beginning and mid, I wondered why they called it Nude because of the floral and fruity aspects, but then several hours later, it starts to really morph into this beautiful musky skin-like fragrance that makes you feel like your skin just naturally smells beautiful.

This has grown to be an absolute love for me. I tend to be anosmic to certain musks at first & have to give them time. I didn't understand what all the hype was about at first. She was faint and then slowly faded out throughout the wear. I decided to test her occasionally over a two week period. One day I wore her and I was sitting there with these wafts of the most luminous sweet musk and I was sold. Now everyone I wear her I get the full effect. She opens with a very girly sweet pear and as she dries down she turns more musky in such a beautiful way. Some say they get straight up laundry but I only get little hints of that. The best way I can describe her is luminous.

Creamy, soapy lily with fresh pear and warm musk. Can’t really say that this is a very special or life-changing musk perfume, but it is very lovely and so easy to throw on a daily and pretty much in any season. I really like the performance because it will last a whole workday and I think it can definitely project a lot if you overspray. I like a long lasting scent so I think it’s worth it and wouldn’t mind a full bottle if I need something simple, soft and comforting.

I blind bought this fragrance after reading many positive reviews about it. I liked the notes on the description and it’s created by my favourite perfumers Quentin Bisch - what can go wrong?! I love it! It’s one of those fragrances that I think would appeal to a lot of people. Somehow it reminds me of the sweet child of Valaya PdM (musky, clean and fresh) and Blue Talisman (pear and sweet). I also got a hand cream from the brand that I can recommend.
