The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Nue au Soleil, launched in 2015 by Prada and crafted by Daniela Andrier, is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance that captures the essence of sunlit freshness. The composition opens with aldehydes and petitgrain, creating an airy, clean impression. This bright beginning gives way to a heart of orange blossom, freesia, and magnolia, which together evoke a vibrant bouquet. The base notes of white musk, amberwood, and patchouli provide warmth and depth, grounding the fragrance in a subtle earthiness.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of Nue au Soleil. The aldehydic opening is bright but fades quickly into the floral heart notes. Apply it close to skin for a more intimate experience; it reads better in close quarters than from across a room.
