Behold my newest fragrance acquisition! I was lucky enough to get this for Christmas from my mum and I’m utterly in love. I’m a long-term wearer of the original Narciso Rodriguez ‘For Her’ fragrance and when I saw this in Bloomingdale’s whilst shopping with mumsy, I knew it had to be mine.
The original ‘For Her’ fragrance is one of those marmite-like things- you’ll either love it or hate it. It works really well with my body chemistry and I’m firmly entrenched in the “love” camp. ‘Narciso’ is a direct successor of ‘For Her’ in my opinion, and I don’t think it’ll be for everybody.
The initial scent is quite strong and slightly old-fashioned but the dry-down is a lovely, soft, sexy scent. It’s firmly in the musk family rather than the “fresh” family and it would be the perfect fragrance for an evening date. My only issue is that I don’t think it lasts very long on my skin and this is particularly annoying considering it’s an eau de parfum. You can still smell traces of it but I do feel the need to touch up after 5 hours or so.
I absolutely adore the packaging of the fragrance as it’s reassuringly heavy and weighty in the hand; it’s one of those bottles that will look great on your dresser. The square-shaped bottle has a milky-white suspension which houses the actual perfume and it has a square, off white lid etched with the Narciso Rodriguez logo.
My bottle was purchased in Bloomingdale’s so it is signed by Narciso Rodriguez himself, which is a cool touch.
I’d definitely recommend grabbing a sample of this if you can and the 3 oz/ 90 ml is currently on sale at Bloomingdale’s for $112.
Happy New Year!
