Imagine freshly bathed, warm skin wrapped in a layer of delicately sweet oat body cream. It’s fresh. It's soft. Nearly Nude is a fragrance designed to bloom on the skin with a fluid effortlessness.
Nearly Nude opens with the freshness of wild oats and a soft bubble bath accord. A delicate bloom of linden flower mingles with the scent of clean skin, capturing the essence of being freshly bathed. Creamy oat milk and golden benzoin add a gentle sweetness, comforting and quietly addictive. Ambroxan, Iso E Super, and skin musk melt together seamlessly, enhancing your natural warmth.
The Nearly fragrances are artfully crafted with unique scent profiles, blended in unexpected ways to create an immersive olfactory experience.
Layer it with Nearly Noon.

Absolutely perfect!! I love this fragrance so much! It’s so soft and comforting and smells so clean!! My go to easy reach scent! Thank you!!

I am a vanilla girl through and through but Nearly Nude is my go to fresh out of the shower clean scent! The linden blossom is very bold in the opening but the oat comes through to smooth the floral down to a cozy creamy comforting scent. It isn’t a traditional soap forward bubble bath but more like a floral creamy milk bath. The benzoin really warms this scent up over time, it’s so lovely! Also I love the atomizer, has great spray!

This perfume is my first “clean” perfume. And although it was not how i expected, I’ve grown to really like it. Its relaxing and does give off the energy of “oh you smell good” its a scent that can be smelled for a long time without feeling clawing or too much. To me it smells a little sweet and powdery and floral but really well blended. It’s a more subtle fragrance, not an intense attention grabber, but still very pretty and elegant.
Null N. 5/5 Verified
Nearly Nude is the perfect scent to wind down with after a long day. I’m not a fan of wearing beast-mode fragrances to bed — I prefer something soft, subtle, and comforting. This one is exactly that. It’s quiet, clean, and feels like slipping into freshly washed sheets after a bubble bath. They captured that clean-skin scent and bottled it beautifully. Musky, airy, and pretty. 🫧 Nearly Nude 🫧 Top: Wild Oats, Bubble Bath, Clean Skin Middle: Linden Blossom, Oat Milk, Iso E Super Base: Benzoin, Ambroxan, Sheer Musk

I ordered nearly nude and was very kindly sent a sample of nearly noon! It’s safe to say I love both of them!!
Mariana V. 5/5 Verified
Wasn’t expecting to love this as much as I did - it’s completely like any other skin scent I’ve tried with a gorgeous dry down. My husband told me I smelled “classy and elegant”, so I’m definitely going to get a full bottle!
Sama A. 5/5 Verified
Honestly, this is strong for a skin scent, but I got many compliments on this one! Hoping to purchase a bigger size one day.
Hvika K. 5/5 Verified
Added it to my order to get free shipping ( I ordered a previous sample prior) & I’m in love!! Exactly like the description! I’m very picky about my scents; I only love 2 perfumes ( after years of searching) and this is one of them!

This by far is the number one skin loving fragrance out there! It is amazing layered with the nearly noon so perfect for my skin. Everyone keeps asking me why do I smell so good I thought at first that it wouldn’t project well and it would be more of a close to the skin intimate light scent more of a personal fragrance so to speak not a head turner, but just something lovely to wear for myself, but it’s turned out to be an incredible complimen getter, especially when I’m layering it with the nearly noon! Out of all of the hundreds and hundreds of bottles of fragrances that I own and there’s always more to come, this combo has been in my constant rotation no matter what the season it’s good any time of year and time of day and for any type of situation also known as as my new signature combo, Fragrance!

I like Nearly Nude, but it goes more floral than I’d like on my skin. It does layer beautifully with Nearly Noon.

Okay, so it wasn’t a love at first sniff, but very much a like! I am a 37 year old, non-binary person of color with an obsession for finding the best nighttime scents for snuggling up in bed. It was absolutely a love about two weeks later when I went back to smell it, and for the past few weeks I’ve been over the moon about it! It’s clean, intimate, very sexy, the men love it on me, and it’s quite cozy! I spray my wrists and chest area and climb into bed. I am someone who believes you should be empowered to spray yourself with a lovely fragrance after your bathroom routine. Do with that as you may;-)

I love this scent! It's clean and comforting. I don't have an advanced perfumers nose, but from the first sniff, this one was beautiful! It will be a repeat buy.

The best fall scent!
Michelle Z. 5/5 Verified
Nearly Nude is the most gorgeous scent. The notes are exactly it, smells like a luxurious soapy oatmeal bath. The perfect amount of creaminess and sweetness. It smells so smooth, soft, and clean. This is the perfect bedtime scent and perfect scent for work. Absolutely beautiful.
Olivia E. 5/5
I absolutely fell in love with this fragrance! It smells so yummy and skin like if you’re looking for a close to the skin scent that smells clean and comforting all at the same time this is the one for you. This is not a statement scent so don’t expect it to be turning heads when you walk into a room it’s more of a personal Self-care scent, something that you ask yourself to make you feel & exude, beauty, and self-love I would call it a personal aura sent. You will send out those positive love vibes, just by where I am. I adore the bubble bath accord that was a wonderful, sweet, clean addition that I have not seen any other company use this is just taken the number one slot for personal close to skin fragrance for sure. Amazing job by Define Me!!!.

I am IN LOVE with this fragrance! Steph! Stoppit it makes me cry. This scent reminds me of wrapping myself in a warm fuzzy towel after a bubble bath at my Grammy’s house and grabbing a steaming bowl of oatmeal off the stove, scooping it into a delicate white porcelain bowl, and going outside to sit in the garden with her while she painted. It’s so cozy and comforting and warm. Fragrances that give me nostalgic warm feelings about my Grammy are my favorites (and thus far, DefineMe has made 4 of them, and this and Nearly Noon are on that list). Thank you for sharing this gorgeous fragrance with the world! I know I needed it.
Benny B. 5/5
Another blind buy that absolutely HIT. I'm not a gourmand girly and musky scents are either total hit or a total miss for me. This is incredibly beautiful, soft, and cozy, while also making an alluring impression. Sultry in all the right ways but not in a way that hits you in the face. Both Nearly perfumes have become my favorites of the year.
Jenn C. 5/5 Verified
I love Nearly Nude. Its soft, and comforting. Although it's soft, it projects well. I received so many compliments wearing this beauty.
Jessica B. 5/5 Verified
Steph did it again! Nearly Nude is that “your skin but better, beast mode scent” wrapped in a soft bubble. It feels clean without being soapy, more like a subtly sweet, skin warmed veil. Bright and silky, with a comforting oatmilk creaminess over wild oats and bubble bath. The linden blossom lifts it gently, while benzoin, ambroxan, and sheer musk give it warmth and longevity. Definitely grabbing a back-up bottle.
Marie L. 5/5 Verified
Wear it to bed almost every night. It’s sheer and intimate. The oats and benzoin! Ugh so good!
Katelyn W. 5/5 Verified
I normally don’t care for “clean” fragrances, I’d rather just spray Febreze on my clothes. But this is something else. At first spray it smells like coming out of the shower with damp clean skin, a couple minutes later the oat starts coming true and smells comforting and warm, without being sweet at all. This is the first bottle in my collection that I feel I will finish without being a “project pan” and I will most likely repurchase. I layered it with Nearly Noon but Noon kinda overpowered it. With Lalawoo the pistachio an almondy quality compliment the oat really well, but this fragance can be layered with any gourmand to “soften it up” Safe blind buy and work, office or healthcare spaces appropriate as well. Congrats Steph, this is a masterpiece!
Carla A. 5/5 Verified
Nearly Nude is a well-crafted “clean, soft, skin scent” fragrance. It doesn’t try to dazzle with bold complexity, but rather to comfort and complement. If you’re into perfumes that feel like skin, like a second skin, or like what you might smell like after a warm bath and a bit of cream, this is exactly in that lane. If you want something louder, more dramatic, or with very high projection, this isn’t that — but within its niche, it does its job beautifully.
Alana G. 5/5 Verified
This is definitely going to be my new everyday scent. It smells good it lingers beautifully for a few hours and I've gotten compliments everywhere I go since I started wearing this one out. 12/10 would recommend!

Another stellar win!! This is so beautiful and comforting. Soft and sensual with a moderate sillage.
Elexis A. 5/5 Verified
As soon as I saw Defineme and Sniff with Steph were coming out with a second fragrance i immediately pre-ordered! And I am SO glad I did! This scent is so beautiful and I have nothing quite like it! Upon first spray I smell the linden blossom and just a very clean, fresh out the shower scent. When it settles into the skin it becomes even more beautiful! It’s like I’m stepping out an everything shower with the most luxe and expensive oat body oil and lotion on my body! The oat note is not extremely heavy and dense at all! It just wraps everything together so beautifully! And for a skin scent she lasts about 6 hours on my skin! I love Nearly Nude! I’m excited to start layering her with other scents especially Nearly Noon. Steph and Defineme did their BIG ONE with Nearly Nude!
Michelle P. 5/5 Verified
Let me just say that I love her first release Nearly Noon. This one not so much. It’s not smooth. A bit screechy. Just rough around the edges. I was hoping for it to be more of a clean, refreshing, slightly sweet, musky skin scent but all I get his heady synthetic white florals and soap. I even tried layering it with Nearly Noon but the florals in this is so strong. I’ll give it some more time. NOT BLIND BUY SAFE.
Tenika G. 3/5
This is absolutely beautiful! It is more than I imagined and am so happy. This is a perfect skin scent for me too and I cannot wait to wear this year-round. Honestly, this will be a repurchase and replace other perfumes once they are used up! Don't hesitate. This smells like a luxury lotion and I want to wear this all the time.
Nichole P. 5/5
I blind bought this fragrance after seeing so many reviews and I was afraid I would regret it- I’m new to the fragrance world. I love this perfume!!! Smells floral but still like an oat bath??? Lasts a long time on me and it is very cozy. did get a compliment on it at work! I’ve started layering it with some other perfumes just for fun. I also like the atomizer on this perfume!!! Very happy with my purchase!
