Bijan Nude for Men (2007)
by Bijan

This is really rather lovely! Clean, light fragrance with a hint of citrus. Nude describes it rather well! Only on first trying at the moment so will update as I wear! I was so impressed I've ordered another bottle! Well at £4:99 delivered for a 75ml tester, would be daft not to!

Clean, soapy, synthetic musk. Soapy like dish soap. Some florals in there too. Not as bad as it sounds; this is actually a decent soapy scent. The florals give it that rounded "creaminess" that other reviewers have described. Average longevity and sillage, but still good for the price....beats the heck out of CK Be! The white musk is key here - be prepared for a bitter soapy dry down.

The original Bigan is great, and most of the recent male Bijan frags are OK... but Nude is another story. There's something in it that actually makes me feel nauseous. And I've tested it several times!

Somehow, I think the 'creamy' note reminds me of old milk and the dairy I worked at years ago. Or maybe 'baby burps'... if you know what I mean. But whatever it is, that peculiar note coupled with the washed-out flesh tone of the bottle gets me every time. No thanks.

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.
