Our take
What does Narciso smell like?
Launched in 2014 in a white cube bottle, Narciso continues the musk obsession that defines Narciso Rodriguez’s fragrances. The opening is floral and soft: powdery, sugar-free rose and gardenia immediately suggest clean, silky skin. The heart centres on musk (sensual, lightly powdery and warm) the house’s olfactory signature. The base combines cedar, vetiver and black cedar for a dry woody structure. The result is a minimalist, elegant musky floral that evokes cashmere, silk and skin. There is nothing spectacular about it, yet it shows great coherence and remarkable longevity, the musk lingering on skin and knitwear long after the florals have faded.
When to wear it
For the office or evenings almost year-round; it suits women who love elegant, musky skin scents.
It belongs to the Floral, Musky family. Narciso is one of 2 creations by Narciso Rodriguez in our encyclopedia.
