Mac Shadescents Creme d'Nude EDP in detail
Shadescents Creme d'Nude EDP comes from Mac. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Shadescents Creme d'Nude: day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its gourmand side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Memo Paris Memo Sintra is a lighter match.
How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Kilian Love Dont Be Shy and Memo Paris Memo Sintra last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like Madagascar vanilla and ambrette (musk mallow) are the part that stays longest on the skin.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Memo Paris Memo Sintra spreads further.
Its style
The strongest accord is musky (100%), followed by gourmand and caramel. You will probably like it if you enjoy musky and gourmand smells and notes like caramel and Madagascar vanilla. Less obvious notes include suede. Perfume fans rate it 4.06 out of 5.
Shadescents Creme d'Nude through the year
It is at its best in fall. It is less suited to summer. From best to least suited, the seasons are fall, winter, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
