Well, It didn't seem to be a feminine fragrance for me... And I didn't like it: It's a discordant fight between a spicy/peppery accord with a powdery and slightly sweet note. It's note bad, but too weird for me. The longevity is great though.

Sorry to spoil the love fest, but to me, Nu is nuclear. I sprayed it on a piece of paper and left it on my table. That one small spray filled the room with the smell of synthetic incense for 3 days. For a scent that's only 6 years old it smells awfully dated. If they ever open a Studio 54 ride at Disneyland, they should pump this in!

Ethereal, transparent beauty of incense, orchids, pepper, woods and subtle skin musk, a perfect everyday fragrance. It's not too edgy, it doesn't attract attention (except by being exceptionally well done and beautiful) it's not heavy and seductive and it's definitely not a horrid girly pink bubblegum fruity/floral. It's just sheer elegance. It would match a suit with crisp white shirt, jeans and a cashmere sweater or the little black dress equally fine.

sprayed it in a shop as a tester and kept sniffing my wrist all day. Stunned by how sexy and more-ish it was. Boy at the time liked it too. Found it on a sunny holiday duty free and made it a present to myself. It's not 'me' but I love to have it on me. Like a colour that doesn't suit you but that you adore, that's Nu. It's in your face, smoky, peppery, with a romantically floral powerful wear-off/dry down which lasts four hours. Just keep smelling it and thinking ahhhhh whenever I wear it. I suspect if I met the person this suited exactly, I woudn't like them much. Exquisitely packaged in almost my favourite shade of dark blue, it's pushy and overtly sexual. I use it to match my confident side.

OK I have taken the plung and bought this one. I think I'm a man who is assured of his sexuality (heterosexual). This is a complex, rich frag'. I suppose some might draw comparisons to M7 but M7 has that defining wood note which stands out dramatically (to me). I agree with most o the comments above but must state that there is a deep floral drydown which may turn off other male users. Try a good sample first (as always!)

I just love it! It is a great office scent. Definitely not sexy!
