Ungaro Desnuda
Ungaro’s Desnuda eau de parfum is one of those fragrances that wear a bit differently on me depending on how I apply it. It is overall a VERY sweet floral-fruity oriental.
When I dab or splash it on, I get this fantastic spicy cinnamon opening. The red pepper heart lingers mouthwateringly on me right through to the finish. I also get a lovely peach from it, and sandalwood and vanilla complete the drydown.
When I spray Desnuda, there is only but slight spice that fades quickly. I get a ton of saccarine-sweet powder through the whole scent when I spray. Yet when I dab it on, the powder seems subdued. The red pepper is still there, but it becomes hidden behind a more prominent sharp rose note, and of course, behind the powder. The sprayed drydown is similar, with vanillic sandalwood.
I don’t care for the eau de toilette version, as the powder and rose seem to overtake the red pepper and vanilla no matter how it’s applied. Desnuda has been discontinued, but it can be easily located at online stores.
