Group: Oriental Spicy Launched: 2002 - discontinued ~ INTRODUCTION ~ I bought Yves Saint Laurent Nu Eau de Parfum on ebay after finding great reviews of it online. I've been looking for a fragrance to wear that belonged to the 'oriental spicy' category - a sort of heavy and more oriental group than floral orientals, one which is fast becoming my preferred perfume group and I'll explain why. In recent years I've come a long way from the aquatic - floral - fruity scents and now prefer deeper, rounder and more 'mature' scents. Gone are the days of the classic floral orientals like Cacharel Loulou where a descreet spritz let you waft in ...  Read the complete review

I had never actually heard of the fragrance Nu by Yves St Lauren until I came across a bottle of it on eBay for the bargain price of £1.44. At that price, I figured I had to buy it as even if I didn't like the smell, I could use it as air freshener.

I love this perfume, what first got me into it was the fact that you could buy a huge 100ml bottle in the perfume shop for around a tenner as far as I remember. I had to ask for it and it was always hidden in the bottom shelf somewhere but it was a great bargain. I can't find it on their website but it's worth asking in store if they have it, it's a complete bargain. The scent is fresh, luminous and delicately sensual. It's typically a woody perfume, definitely not floral, having incense and woody and spice type scents. Apparently it contains hints of orchid, vanilla, jasmie and bergamot. A truly beautiful fragrance and if you shop around you can get it for a bargain ...  Read the complete review
