Bijan Nude for Men (2007)
by Bijan

I really like this one! Its really fresh with citrus and florals (gardenia). I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like this. As far as longevity and sillage, this is a excellent performer. I get noticeable sillage for 8hrs easy and I get up to 12hrs of longevity consistently. I think the biggest issue here must be the musk in the base. But it is very well done and it is adorned with some woods and the gardenia never really goes away. If you're into florals such as Dior Homme or Kenzo Power, check this one out. Its more masculine than the other two. FYI, I did a wrist-to-wrist test against Plat. Egoiste, and though I very much like PE I found this more interesting. Best blind swap ever!

A companion synthetic mess to Bijan Black, this one with a strong metallic tinge that lasts from beginning to end: There is no possibility that I can ignore the disagreeableness. I would happily recommend the BodMan series or the Axe fragrances over this one – they have much better smells coming from them than comes from this sample of Bijan Nude than I have. I can’t connect with the other reviews here. It might be possible that there are immense differences in the reactions of this fragrance on different skins, or perhaps my sample has turned really bad, or maybe my nose has been out of joint the four times I have tested this… Of course, I can’t completely rule out the negative parallel universe theory…

Strange woody floral but in a good way. Comes off as a conglomerate of citrus, woods/herbal spices and gardenia. Very creamy and smooth and warms you up. I think the name is offputting for some.

The fragrance features gardenia, amber, musk, citruses and precious woods, one of Bijan's best IMO, with great staying power, citrus opening, gardenia middle and very woody drydown, really good.

RECOMMENDED.

WOW...this is a sleeper. What a great fragrance! I actually can not believe how good this is. I was actually given this ( a 2.5 oz bottle with body wash and after shave balm) at a little perfume shop I visit often because it had sat so long with no takers . . . seriously. Anyway, I do not understand it, this stuff is GOOD and very sexy.

Notes are:

TOP : Herbaceous Greens, Citrus Fruits (lemon-lime and orange)

MID: Gardenia, Precious Woods, Black Pepper (???)

BASE: Amber and Musk

The creamy bottle for this is perfect, the overall effect of the juice is just that, creamy and sultry - never powdery. I find it very similar to some of the Tommy Bahama (TB) frag's right now, but better, and I love all the TB collection. :-)

The best thing about it - without a single doubt, is the Gardenia note. I tell you, this is definitely the best use of Gardenia I have ever come across in a men's scent. After is comes out, the pepper kicks in and I am sent into bliss. Soon then the final stages kick in and it couldn't get any better. However, it does progress rather quickly, but ohhh, is it good.

I will be wearing this often. A HUGE THUMBS UP AND A 5 STAR. I can not recommend this enough!
