Find Your Exceptional Narciso Rodriguez Perfume for Women

Pure musky smell

I have been looking for a soft, elegant, powdery gardenia floral blend forever. Geraniums and Gardenias are sentimental flowers in my long, wonderful relationship with my family and husband, and my favorite fragrances always seem to be discontinued. It doesn’t help that my body chemistry is unique and sends every fragrance to somewhere unrecognizable. I also react to everything. If I’m honest, I also, unlike others, actually like the idea of being a good, clean-smelling grandma with a signature fragrance a child would enjoy and remember. I also play the harp. That should paint the picture. With that lengthy disclaimer, this, for me, opens with a very pungent spicy impact that I don’t care for. I’m not sure where the florals are. I don’t find it subtle or pleasant while it lingers and then it is gone. For me, there is no discernible fragrance once it settles. I’m actually scared to re-apply because the first burst, for me (and the dog) is unpleasant. Glad I tried it, but not for me. Next.

The fragrance reminds me of elegance and class. It’s soft but yet it lets your presence be known.

Really wanted to like this found the patchouli far stronger than I expected. I can see why others called it a mature scent very potent definitely a fall winter scent in my opinion

I got compliments on this. Very comforting scent musky scent. Good for an office environment.

This is a Mature Scent. Definitely for an Office setting. Pencil Skirt and a Blouse scent. It reminds me of what someone working in the School Board of Education would wear. Or a Church lady. It was too mature for my tastes, and the scent was too Musky for me and has an Orchid vibe that I'm not into. It was Perfect for my mom though, so I gave it to her. It wasn't a bad scent. It was just too strong, Warm and Daytime for me. I'm more of a Cool, Subtle, Night time. I ordered it because I met a woman who smelled really good, and she said it was Narcisso. I'm not sure which Narciso perfume it was so I ordered this to see if its the scent. its definitely not the scent I was looking for...the search continues.

I love the scent.

Love the scent

This was my first vial from Scentbird. I had been wanting to try this perfume for some time so I was very excited to try it. Keep in mind, everyone’s nose and body chemistry is unique. My initial impression was “HOLY WOODSY SPICY/PEPPERY PATCHOULI! Oh, there’s a bit of peach. And a speck of rose. Clean. Potentially off-putting” Medium bodied and woodsy. Decent lasting power and projection, but nothing obscene in my opinion. I don’t know why I was expecting more of a light, floral scent. A bit silly now in hind-sight. Cuz this ain’t it. I can see how some could get the “dirty hippy” vibe from this perfume, which to me is presented as being more light-hearted, sexy and feminine. And for some people, I think patchouli achieves that. That being said, it has an overall clean feeling to it. For me it is somewhat reminiscent of Modern Muse, one of my go-to’s for when I’m feeling serious, clean, a bit cold and all boss lady. This scent is definitely warmer and more spicy, perhaps a bit more approachable/comfortable, the Amber base gives it the cozy & clean factor, if you are a woodsy/patchouli fan. I would compare it to be “the, 420-friendly, girl next-door” of Modern Muse. Not to stereotype the patchouli, but I totally am. She is confident and knows how to have a good time, a little bit wild, but is otherwise refined. The Rose in this frag is barely detectable. Rose is a favorite note of mine. So when they said sheer, they were not misleading. The peach is detectable, but doesn’t linger long after the opening. At its heart and base, this is all patchouli and sandalwood to me, yet with a certain edge of femininity and intrigue that I feel leaves it still deserving of its title, “for Her” Wasn’t my cup of tea, but I think over the years I may get around to finishing it between my other picks. Worth a shot if you love patchouli- as you must with this one. Hope this is helpful to your decision. Good luck!

It is not a scent I would probably wear again. Its strong and definitely a more mature scent. I thought I would adjust toward liking it after it settled on my skin but that was not the case.
