Nuda Veritas
by Atelier des Ors
Nuda Veritas by Atelier des Ors is an elegant, aquatic floral with a crisp white floral heart centered around calone, bergamot, jasmine sambac, and orange blossom. The fragrance opens with a bright, zesty burst of citrus and marine freshness, softened by a subtle sweet musk and soft white florals. As it develops, the calone fades into a clean, slightly salty musky drydown, enhanced by ambroxan, ambrette, and oakmoss. The scent transforms dramatically from initial freshness into a soft, unisex, aquatic barbershop elegance, with a surprising masculine lean in the drydown. Though some find the calone dominant and overwhelming, many experience it as a luminous, refreshing breeze—ideal for warm weather and casual summer days. It wears well in both day and night settings, projects moderately, and offers a moderate longevity, though some users note the scent fades quickly. The bottle and overall presentation are highly praised, contributing to its appeal.
