The Character and History of the Fragrance
For The Scent Of It Nearly Nu is a 2021 eau de parfum from the American brand For The Scent Of It.
This is a unisex fragrance from the floral family, created for those who appreciate expressive compositions with a soft gourmand character.
The name Nearly Nu seems to hint at the sensation of something familiar yet subtly reimagined: the fragrance feels both comforting and unusual.
At the heart of the composition lies a contrast between airy florals, a powdery iris texture and warm vanilla softness.
Thanks to this combination, Nearly Nu does not aim to be strict or traditionally “feminine” or “masculine”: its character unfolds individually and easily adapts to the wearer’s style.
This is one of those fragrances that is especially interesting to test on the skin, observing how its nuances gradually change.
The Perfumer and the Style of the Composition
The fragrance was created by perfumer Michael Schrammel.
His work on Nearly Nu is built around a clear, easy-to-read structure: an expressive opening gradually becomes more powdery before settling into a warm vanilla base.
As a result, the eau de parfum feels cohesive without being flat, maintaining interest at every stage of its development.
In terms of mood, Nearly Nu will appeal to fans of floral fragrances with a gourmand accent who want a soft, enveloping scent rather than cloying sweetness.
The fragrance can suitably accompany daytime looks, meetings, walks and relaxed evening outings.
At the same time, its very strong sillage makes it noticeable in the surrounding space, so the composition is particularly well suited to those who like to leave behind a memorable scented impression.
Wearability and Application
As a unisex fragrance, Nearly Nu is not tied to a particular wardrobe or age.
On one person, it may emphasize the powdery coolness of iris; on another, it may reveal a creamy vanilla quality and a warmer, more sensual character.
Skin temperature, weather and the amount applied will also affect how it is perceived.
Specific recommendations for applying this release to skin and clothing are not provided in the available data.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to test the fragrance with a small amount first, especially indoors, and then find a comfortable intensity for yourself.
Its longevity and development are best assessed not only on a blotter but also on the skin over several hours.
Similar Fragrances
If you like the idea of a floral composition with powdery and warm nuances, consider Cerruti 1881 Pour Femme, Cacharel Lou Lou and Chanel Paris - Venise.
They are not exact equivalents of Nearly Nu, but may appeal through a similar mood: a combination of a noticeable floral character, a soft retro inflection and an elegant sillage.
At present, no other concentrations of the same fragrance are listed for Nearly Nu.
Therefore, the eau de parfum remains the main way to discover the composition and its rich, expressive scent.
