Emanuel Ungaro Desnuda Eau de Parfum 100ml is a sensual oriental floral for women, created by perfumer Domitille Michalon Bertier and launched in 2001. The name — Spanish for "naked" — captures the fragrance's intent: warm spice, ripe fruit and velvety florals layered close to the skin like a second layer of bare luxury, opening on cardamom, blood mandarin and white peach before unfolding into a heart of plum, iris and rose, and settling on a creamy vanilla-sandalwood-tonka drydown.
About Emanuel Ungaro
Founded in Paris in 1965 by Italian-born couturier Emanuel Ungaro, the house earned its reputation for romantic, vibrantly coloured ready-to-wear and an unmistakable use of print. Ungaro's fragrance line extends the same sensibility — distinctly feminine, openly sensual compositions with an Italian-French Mediterranean spirit.

Who it's for
Desnuda suits women drawn to warm, fruity-spicy florals with depth and softness — think plum and peach laced with cardamom, settling onto a comforting vanilla-tonka base. It is unmistakably an evening or cool-weather fragrance, best in autumn and winter, and pairs naturally with smart dinners, date nights and dressed-up occasions. Wearers who enjoy Lancôme Trésor, Boucheron Jaïpur or Hermès 24, Faubourg will find familiar comfort here.
How to wear it
- Apply to pulse points — wrists, base of the neck and behind the ears — at a distance of around 15cm
- Layer over a fragrance-free body cream to extend longevity and round the drydown
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together as this bruises the top notes
- Two to three sprays is typically enough; the spice-amber base projects well
