Nudo Exotic Flowers

Scent Breakdown

Nudo Exotic Flowers bursts open with a candied cherry, noticeably sharper and more synthetic than Initio's Narcotic Delight. The pepper adds a needed bite, but it's a little rough around the edges. Where the original is plush and velvety, this leans more towards a sticky sweetness. The heart aims for boozy warmth with its cognac note, but the hedione creates a slightly thinner, airier effect. The drydown brings forth a cozy blend of vanilla and tobacco. It's pleasant but lacks the depth and sophistication of its muse. Think 88% similar, with the biggest difference being in the quality of ingredients and the overall smoothness.

Final Thoughts

If you crave the vibe of Narcotic Delight but can't stomach the Initio price tag, Nudo Exotic Flowers scratches the itch. It's a flirty, playful fragrance perfect for date night or adding a touch of sweetness to your everyday. The original justifies its price with its richness and refinement, but if you want something similar this is a solid option. Best for those who appreciate a bold, sweet fragrance and aren't afraid of a bit of synthetic sparkle.

The Performance Stats

The projection is moderate for the first two hours, leaving a sweet, inviting trail. After that, it settles closer to the skin, lasting a good six to seven hours as a softer vanilla-tobacco scent. Not bad point.
