Launched in 2003, Nu Eau de Toilette by Yves Saint Laurent is crafted by the renowned perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with a bright citrus and aromatic blend of cardamom and bergamot, which gives way to a heart of white florals like jasmine and orchid. The base notes of incense, musk, and vanilla create a warm, smoky finish that is both powdery and enveloping.

Application Tips
Nu Eau de Toilette projects best with a moderate application — one or two sprays. The citrus top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so it’s important to let the warm base notes develop over time for a lasting effect. Ideal for cooler evenings when you want a scent that is both comforting and sophisticated.
