So Nude

So Nude by Costume National presents a delicate balance of creamy tuberose, warm cardamom, and subtle woody notes, creating a scent that feels intimate and skin-like. The opening features a soft, warm floral spiced with caraway and cardamom, which gives way to a textured blend of ylang-ylang, damask rose, and patchouli. The overall impression is one of a refined, slightly sweet muskiness with a quiet, trailing sillage. It is not intense or overwhelming—instead, it lingers as a cushioning, comfortingly feminine cloud on the skin. The fragrance evolves into a softly woody, almost skin-scented base with traces of sandalwood and virginian cedar. Though some experience it as barely perceptible, others find it persistent throughout the day, particularly on clothing. It has a clean, creamy quality—reminiscent of a breathable silk slip or soft musk—making it especially suitable for autumn and winter wear. It feels mature, tailored, and unassuming, though the longevity and sillage vary significantly depending on individual body chemistry.
