It sounds like you and Nu are a great fit–I hope you have a backup bottle stashed away. I know what you mean about YSL’s latest fragrances. They just don’t have the elegance and style of some of the older scents, like Nu and Y.

Nu does smell chilly and slightly metallic in the bottle, but on my skin it warms up rather quickly and sweetens slightly. The strong cardamom, pepper and cinnamon notes actually make me think me of chai tea or (stretching a little) eggnog, particularly during the drydown. The incense lends an air of thoughtfulness and keeps the whole thing nicely dry, and the sillage is minimal after the first 20 minutes or so, ideal for those “skin scent” days when I’m not up to wafting a scent cloud. I’m disappointed that it’s been discontinued – it makes me wonder if YSL will ever make austere, smooth, and intelligent scents like this again.

It sounds like it’s not a favorite for you, but at least you won’t have to worry much about smelling it on the street since it’s discontinued.

I find it to be a chemically smelling version of Opium. Its a bit shampooey-cheap bubble bathy, not rich and expensive. It’s not the type of perfume that if someone walked past wearing it you would want to say “ooooh what’s that”. It’s plain like the bottle it comes in. Not special at all.

I seen it at online perfume discounters, so there’s still some around–stock up if you love it!

This one my favorite. I hated it when I was first introduced to it by my KAM SA, but then fell in love and could not have enough of it every winter. I’ve managed to stash away another bottle of EdP, but alas I’ve discovered it too late and now there is none available. Help!

yep, I was sad to hear this as well, it's a great one, hard to replace with something else. Black Cashmere is out as well, if you're into this incense, spicy woody stuff, better stock up.

I've heard all sorts of wild things about Dinner by Bobo. It seems like people either like it or hate it but nothing in between. I'll have to try it!
