Description
Fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez became celebrated in the world of perfumes with his debut Narciso Rodriguez For Her from 2003. That minimalist name and design, as well as musky sensuality adorn his latest olfactory creation that comes out in September of 2014—feminine fragrance Narciso Eau de Parfum.
“I wanted to create an extremely sexy fragrance that would turn a man’s head,” announces the designer, with the description, “The sensuality becomes a little bit more sexy, a little bit more intoxicating.”
The composition is composed of white gardenia and rose above the warm heart of musk. The base includes woody accords of vetiver and two types of cedar: black and white. Industrial musk with fluffy whipped-cream gardenia on one side and a delicate but sharp-edged vetiver on the other. Like many musk dominant fragrances, it seems to sit close to the skin sometimes while being loud and diffuse other times. Made for a trench coat on a rainy Spring day.
The bottle is simple: square, milky white with the name printed in black letters. The face of the perfume is a model Raquel Zimmermann. The nose behind this fragrance is Aurelien Guichard.
Narciso isn’t something I smell everywhere, despite how widespread its popularity appears to be. It would be an unusual albeit wonderful choice for a signature scent, and it’s refined and elegant in a very modern, chic way. It’s luxurious and yet offbeat, smells expensive and still down to earth.
Narciso is probably going to be a total cult classic if it’s ever discontinued, or in 10 years’ time perhaps. It’s pretty avant-garde, and I do think you’ll appreciate the fragrance the more acquainted with perfumery you are. I bought a bottle of it, so I did like it at the time, and I wore it a lot, but I wasn’t quite as taken with it as I am now, after 2 years of getting heavy into a perfume hobby and exploring niche scents, etc.
Narciso is mainstream but original in the same way that Eau des Merveilles is. I’m not saying they’re anything alike in terms of actual scent similarity, but they both take some wears to grow on you (in my case at least).
Narciso smells very clean even though it can come off as a little bit edgy. The bottle design is representative of the feeling the scent evokes – minimalist, milky, clean cut.
