I used up my bottle of this and I'm so sad. It is one of the nicest fragrances I've ever had! It is a woody-oriental that is quite sexy. To me it is very unisex. The bottle is cool too, very early...

YSL used to have some really brilliant perfumes. I enjoyed perfumes of that time (early 2000's) when florientals seemed to rule the world. I loved YSL's Nu and Dior Addict were my staples. This is...

The fact that Nu was a marketing flop and has since been discontinued borders on criminal in my opinion! Of course, I am not blameless. When this fragrance was released in 2001, I was a total ‘fume...

I found this last week at TJ Maxx for 29.99 for 3.4 oz. I had it back in 2001when it was first released. I wore it last night and compared my notes from 2001 in my fragrance journal -- pretty...

Oh how I wish they had left out the black pepper, I know many like this as a note but it really doesn't work for me and I get lots of Pepper in this. The rest is just lovely and would be a...

Just received my bottle of "NU". Wow! The initial blast is a watered down "opium". It's drying down to a peppery powder. I love old fashioned as well as "quirky" fragrances right now. One of the...

I have worn this incensey, spicy, peppery, metallic for a decade, and I love it. My boyfriend calls it my Blood perfume. I don't even know what that means, but I always get texts every so often...

Nu eau de parfum is a SPICE BOMB. Another YSL masterpiece in a similar spirit as M7. I love it, but it should be categorized as a men's fragrance or at least unisex. It remindes me of a darker,...

My favourite fragrance. It is described on some of the fragrance sites as a blend of bergamot, musk , wild orchid. Bergamot, White Orchid, Jasmine, Incense and Sandalwood. Difficult to say what...

After searching for Nu for a very long time, I tried both the EDT and EDP today and I liked both scents very much, spice and woods and incense, gorgeous and balanced scents - but very fleeting! I...

YSL Nu smells to me like dark spicy-cinnamon woods. The listed floral notes (orchid, jasmine) are thankfully unobtrusive to my nose. I really like this scent a lot, despite not usually being a...

This turned out to be a little too spicy and overwhelming on me. I tend to gravitate towards fresh, clean, youthful scents, and Nu is heavy, dramatic and sexy. Perhaps it's the type of fragrance...

Nu is a light floral on me, reminds me of NR For Her. I get mostly lily of the valley from both, though I'm sure they even have it. I think the packaging and name for Nu are very deceptive, as I...

YSL's NU EdP is a cool, sophisticated, spicy floriental very different from todays sweet and feminime florientals that I usually fall for. NU is androgynous, a scent with a character, a skinscent...

If it were niche, it would get a lot more respect. Aloof, mysterious incense. Not warm, not comforting, but a woody and insidiously inviting hint of pepper and and orchid that keeps winking in...

On me this smells very similar to Youth Dew Amber Nude, only smoother, more spicy and nowhere near as bland. This is probably not a HG, however at $19AU for a 50ml edt with fantastic sillage, I may...
