Hey, Philosophy, with that bottle color, you mean “Caucasian,” not nude.
But the magazine sample was free, so:
Smells like a bouquet of over-bred tea roses in a hospital room. Pretty but generic, with an odd note of bleach musk underneath.
There are soooo many better rose scents out there. Lush’s Imogen Rose is heaven. Tea Rose by Perfumer’s Workshop is a great bargain for an awesome rose. Annick Goutal’s Rose Absolue is a petal bomb. Filch your grandmother’s YSL Paris, if you have to.
But roses shouldn’t ever be beige.
And nude is an absence of clothing, not “white people skin.”

Have you ever smelled the dew on leaves of spring bulbs, like daffodils? It’s that smell plus roses. It’s a wonderful smell. It only lasts about an hour, but it’s a good scent to start your day with.

Okay. So I’m in love. Pure Grace Nude Rose reminds me of a Barbie perfume I got in the mid 80’s when I was about 5 years old. I’ll try to take you down my memory’s lane: Nude Rose is a very clean, laundry scent, as others have described, but not in a weird way.. it’s done in a delicate, perfume way! Not too powerful, but more of a skin scent that you secretly enjoy when you’re sitting in a quiet room and you can’t stop smelling your wrists. It’s “rose” without all the fuss. Not too floral, not sweet at all.. If you like skin scents, clean scents, or perfumes like Jovan White Musk, then you’ve gotta try this lovely juice!! It’s more of a creamy, lotion-like, rose. Fancy makeup and lipsticks. It’s the Prima Ballerina’s scent backstage, before the show goes on, and she’s lacing up the ribbons of her ballet slippers. There are two dozen roses in her dressing room, and she spritzes on a soft, clean musky scent that mingles with the roses and makeup, just ever-so-slightly. And then she steps into the spotlight. This is what I get from Nude Rose. LOVE.

The emphasis here is not on the rose, but rather on pure grace. This is without any doubt a Pure Grace Flanker. Soap and water clean, but unlike the original pure grace this one is not heavy on the lavender. Nude Rose has a slight fruity tinge mixed with the original Pure Grace scent.

On skin: The rose note is beautiful, but the rest is more powdery than Amazing Grace Ballet Rose or Chloe Rose.

Like others have mentioned, this is not a particularly strong rose fragrance. In fact, the rose is very hidden, almost undetectable. On me, it is a fruity, wet floral. For some reason, I get a soapy berry scent that is like red currant or pomegranate. I do not get cedar or musk either. Very strange, as my experience doesn’t match the listed notes! It actually thought I mixed up my samples of this and Ballet Rose, but upon double checking, this is apparently the correct one. Pure Grace Nude rose is not a terribly unique or engrossing fragrance. You could find something like it at B&BW. But for the price, it’s a good deal if you want something simple and delicate.

I truly hate to say this, because I abhor cliche, but bear with me. This smells like laundry detergent/fabric softener. I don’t mean that because I have no other scent references in my brain, therefore, I have to use terms like “laundry”, “air freshener”, or “soap”. (I think my brain has more scent references than it has anything else…) I mean it, literally, Nude Rose smells like my fabric softener. My fabric softener is MelaSoft Clean Cotton, and Nude Rose smells like all my towels, clothing, and undies. Clearly I like this scent, because I buy it intentionally to use on my family’s laundry. “Perfume”, however, is a different commodity in my life from bath/laundry products. It’s like jewelry and makeup: an accessory with which to decorate myself. It is beyond mundane ablutions. So, Nude Rose is not something I would wear as a perfume. It doesn’t interest me enough to use it in any form.

A soft floral with a soapy musk and with a ton of Iso E Super. Definitely not for me.

It’s a lovely rose scent.

From a non-rose lover, I am surprised that I am actually enjoying this rose. Well, maybe enjoying is too strong a word – I guess I should say I’m not disliking it intensely, which is what happens when I wear rose or musk. The rose is transparent; nude is a fitting title for it here, and lovely. I adore the cedar, and picked up hints of neroli, but it was gone in an instant. It’s almost like instant drydown on me, just stronger at first, then it settles. Like, not love. Will enjoy the sample, but not FB worthy for me. The cedar was the main player here, and the only thing I could smell, hours later.

The rose note here is definitely very light. I guess maybe that is what they mean by ‘nude rose’. But I mainly get a soapy scent from this more than a rose scent. The musk and cedar are very subtle; if they were any more subtle they would be non-existent. I guess the white floral and the dew drop notes are what are coming across on my skin as the ‘soapy scent,’ as I am not picking up any distinct white floral nor distinct dew drop notes. This on me is fairly soft, nothing really dominating nor screeching. I do like this, actually. Will be great especially for Spring and maybe even Summer. On me, this is more of a skin scent. Not great on longevity, maybe a couple of hours. But I do like this well enough. Some days you do not need or want a 12+hour fragrance nor one that announces your presence before you even enter the door. I think this would also be nice for doctor office visits, that sort of thing. Hey, I have an elderly father..I spend a lot of time in doctor offices, so that is why I thought of that. 🙂
These are my findings and my opinions and experience with this fragrance. As always, YMMV. Have a great day. 🙂 xx

I just received this as a Christmas gift. It comes off a little strong at first but dries down quickly. I am picking up a light rose, as if it’s trapped in a bouquet behind delicate white flowers. There is a very mild sharpness underneath that disappears as soon as it comes… not sure what it is but is reminiscent of white pepper. As with most Philosophy scents that I have experienced, the final result is a clean, crisp, “fresh from the shower” aura that is perfect for those who shy away from strong, bombastic perfume or want a nice daytime or office fragrance. Not enough here to offend even the most sensitive people, so perfect for everyday use.

For someone who can be sensitive to “too much” rose, the balance here is just right. The rose note is strongest in the beginning. Then over an hour it fades into the background, leaving orange blossom/neroli (favorite notes of mine) and something faintly sweet that I think is the dew drop. I am also sensitive to woods notes, and thankfully I don’t notice the cedar in this. Also, I wouldn’t describe this as a musky fragrance (compared to several I own), but maybe I’m just not picking up on this type of musk.
Overall, this is a gorgeous fragrance! It’s earned a place in my personal top twenty.

hmmm.. I don’t smell any rose in this at all. It smells like laundry soap to me and the dry down is very similar to the musk used in bath&body works Cashmere Glow. I tested it at Macy’s yesterday and sprayed four big sprays with nothing else. It must be my chemistry because I kept wanting to wash it off. It wasn’t too loud but I really don’t like the smell of laundry soap. Ballet rose on the other hand is great on me. I got a bottle and it’s been a summer staple so far, but that’s because I like rose. Ballet rose is a sweet fruity rose, but you definitely smell the rose oil in there. Nude rose, the rose is nonexistent.
