MUSC NOIR ROSE (Review)| TheTopNote

[@TheTopNote]

Have you tried this one? What did you think?

[@marisas9816]

So happy you reviewed it. Thank you! I was so curious about this one and the bottle is just so beautiful 🤩

[@jacquelinedella-santa2451]

I have 3 Narciso, and so far, loved them all. Cant wait to try this one!

[@TheTopNote]

It’s really pretty! Worth a try for sure especially if you enjoy white florals x

[@theresa3]

The French TikTok craze last winter😍 By the time I discovered it rumor had it it was discontinued! Lo and behold I found it at Macys a few months ago❤️ I have several bottles of Narciso Rodriguez perfumes and do like them obviously ☺️

[@yen-8680]

This perfume is amazing. It is quite different but not super unique (at least to me) but i love this for that reason.. i just want to smell lil bit different & pleasant, not being polarising screaming “LOOK AT ME”.

[@TheTopNote]

💯 I thoroughly enjoyed the sample! And it got me back to wearing my Narciso edt!

[@gladhead]

I blindly bought this fragrance. I love your review and already subscribed to your channel.

[@TheTopNote]

Thank you Gladys! Happy to have you here 🤗

[@anastasiaa4372]

Great review Cherie! Very thorough! I want more! Looking forward to your best white floral fragrances! xxx

[@TheTopNote]

Ooh great idea!

[@nelluke]

I bit the bullet and bought l’heure blueu on Friday after stalking it for a year or so, and then seeing your thoughts on it being comforting. I had some DJs vouchers, so it didn’t hurt so much❣️

[@TheTopNote]

Oh yay! What did you think? C

[@nelluke]

@@TheTopNote I adore it! I keep smelling my arm with it on. And it seems to last really well on me. I’m so happy I got it. 😁

[@lavoixdevelours]

This has become popular this week, and some are saying it's like a shadow of Poison. I need to test it.

[@TheTopNote]

Hmmm I think if you are a lover of Poison, you might be disappointed with this one. This is a LOT sweeter and is missing the spice, the woods, the greenness, the sourness and edginess that Poison has. Poison also has a bit of a vintage bent to it. That’s just to my nose though, perhaps I am missing something in the comparison 🤗 definitely worth a sniff though, it’s pretty. Thanks for watching and merry Christmas 🎄

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I tried this and I liked it but yes, a lot of tuberose! I don't enjoy for her edp, I like the EDT. I also love Narciso Poudrée.

[@TheTopNote]

I definitely want to try the Poudree!

[@xvanessa5924]

I like your very honest review and your attitude!👍

[@TheTopNote]

Thank you! Lovely to have you here 🥰

[@Thee.Lyoness]

I just picked up this one and I really enjoy it but I do like the original Musc Noir much more. The name was a bit misleading for me tbh. I thought it would be a rose dominant fragrance but I get only tuberose/white florals on my skin.

[@TheTopNote]

Agree! It is nice to wear though :)

[@Blessed-me6tf]

Tuberose? Oh no oh no no no no no😅 I will pass!

[@ipurvi]

I want to like NR Muscs but some give me headaches and some overwhelme my senses sadly :( Haven’t tried black cube but now very curious :)

[@PaolaBianka]

i love the Narciso edt (black cube).... it's the only NR fragrance I have right now...❤

[@TheTopNote]

Same! X

[@jhors7777]

Love you Cherie, thank you for posting this interesting video.

[@tp3218]

I don’t mind people being critical about perfumes either. I honestly agree with them that some famous commercial (or even some niche) brands are now coming up with the repetitive sweet mass appealing scent profile these days, and the problem is that they’re not going back and now all losing the creativity put into their work.

[@TheTopNote]

That’s a fair point. 👍 I think it that swing probably has a lot to do with brands being bought out by bigger conglomerates too.

[@nectariad6164]

So true, new releases lack creativity and many new releases on the market start to smell the same sugary sh_t sorry to say

[@InfinitegardenbyBethK]

Thanks for this review. It sounds like something I might like, but I wonder if it’s like Sisley’s Izia La Nuit. That’s another rose & dark fruit beauty.

[@TheTopNote]

Hey Beth! I had the same inkling so I wore them side by side for the day. Quite different to the Sisley- the Sisley comparatively is more fruity in the opening with that blackcurrant and the dry down is more woody-patchouli. Also doesn’t have the muskiness. I feel like the Narciso is more enveloping and soft :) I also felt I got more rose from the Sisley and more Tuberose from the Narciso.

[@InfinitegardenbyBethK]

@@TheTopNote I LOVE that you had the same inkling and tried them side by side 💗 I’ve had mixed experience with the NR musk, so I’m not always sure. I was an early devotee of For Her EDT even though that one could induce a headache if I over-sprayed. I do have a smallish bottle of the Pure Musc, which I think is very pretty. I would like to sample this one, too. 🥰😘 I absolutely love your reviews and I trust your nose.

[@itashya]

Hi, I have about 5 NR fragrance and yes they’re very expensive but I somehow NONE of them have really made me happy and never reach out for them even when I just want to smell like anything really for running errands :(

[@TheTopNote]

Oh that's a shame, but at least you know! I do really love the black cube EdT - its the only one I own a full bottle of and it has been discontinued. Having said that, since doing this review, I managed to score another sample of this one and I actually ended up enjoying it a lot more after a few more wears.

[@itashya]

@@TheTopNote Maybe I’ll reach out for them more for these to grow on me. Infact I find sarah Jessica parker’s lovely better wear that the NR for her edp (pink bottle) while that’s considered a dupe of it. It’s strange how fragrances are more personal. Try lovely if you can. Maybe you’ll decide it for me as to why… 😃😇

[@fenixcharlotte]

Wonderful review, I am dying to try this one

[@TheTopNote]

Thanks Charly! I do really enjoy it- I wore it for a few days recently on holiday :)

[@nelluke]

Hi Cherie, how would you ‘go light’ on a strong fragrance? If you do just one spritz, where would you aim it? I always worry that I’ve overdone it and people might lean away (and it’s not just social distancing 😂). ❤️

[@TheTopNote]

Haha! I usually spritz on my abdomen and arms under my clothes. Also helps to prevent me going nose blind too so I can enjoy it all day :)

[@milojkoschetland4656]

Please help me....Narciso Ridriguez noir or Narciso Rodriguez noir rose 🤔.... I don't know....until Gucci bring back our GUCCI eau de parfum....I know you adore it too BEST PARFUM EVER 😉🙃😀

[@TheTopNote]

I haven’t tried Noir but my understanding is that it is not as sweet so, I expect I may enjoy that one more - but I cannot say definitively.

[@EloisaMontesdeOcaTV]

Have you smelled Narciso L'Absolu? For some reason I think is gonna be too close to it. I adore this family and since I haven't been able to find a tester I blind purchased online, but I'm afraid is gonna be somehow redundant owning L'Absolu 😒

[@TheTopNote]

Hi thanks for watching! I have not tried the l’absolu, I’m afraid…so I am no help in this regard! Let me know how you go! I would love to hear your comparison if you get to try the new one x

[@EloisaMontesdeOcaTV]

@@TheTopNote thanks live, I will for sure 🌸

[@kasuallychic]

Hey there. I also own L’Absolu & have a large decant of Musc Noir Rose. They don’t smell anything like each other-totally different vibes. So you don’t have to worry about it being redundant.

[@EloisaMontesdeOcaTV]

@@kasuallychic this is very relieving! Thanks 🌸

[@kasuallychic]

@@EloisaMontesdeOcaTV No prob!

Sometimes « pretty » is all we want, right? 🙂 It’s on my list to sniff.

[@kerstinbischof7667]

Technical comment: I watch your videos using headphones. Unfortunately your sound is not balanced. One side of the headphones plays much louder than the other side. I always have the felling I'm one-sided deef🙈 Thats's very awkward, because I love watching your videos. Does anyone else have this problem?

[@TheTopNote]

Argh! I thought I had fixed this. Thank you for letting me know! I will investigate further. I do test on two sets of headphones when I’m editing but it all sounds normal at my end for some reason! I will look into it further. Thanks again!
