Alternative to discontinued perfume

I'm on the very last sprays of one of my all time favourite perfumes - YSL Nu which is now discontinued and anywhere I do see it being sold, it's going for silly money so I was wondering if any perfume experts on here could recommend something similar. It's got a smell of aftershave to it so would be happy to buy aftershave if need be!

www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Yves-Saint-Laurent/Nu-95.html fragrantica does suggest a few I might like but I have a couple of them and they definitely don't smell similar.

Might be worth a punt?

How did you find that!! I tried on there and nothing came up.
I'll definitely give it a go but I have a feeling there was more than one Nu perfume. But as you say worth a shot.

I'm a demon at finding things on PP! Hope it works out for you.

Just came on to say how impressed I am at MN'ers ability to track things down! Hope you get something similar @Plump82 Smile

IIRC, Dior Dune is also quite similar to Nu (which I also used to love and wear a lot - and loved the mysterious space age purply-grey metallic bottle).

The bottle is fab isn't it. Completely though unpractical as it's huge.
I've ordered that one from the Perfume Parlour but good to know there's another potential. Thanks!

Just thought I'd come back to report on the perfume. It arrived today and it's an excellent dupe. I'm so pleased with it. It's ever so slightly more powdery but has the distinct peppery scent which is what I love about Nu. Thank you so much for tracking it down!
