Narciso Rodriguez "NARCISO" EDP Fragrance Review

[@Orangeufunny]

I sprayed this on a jacket of mine I could not stop sniffing my sleeve. The first whiff of this made me think of a we’ll to do 40 year old woman shopping in a boutique. She is wearing a cashmere sweater nice dark jeans and carrying a large leather tote. She’s got longish beige hair and is neutral yet elegant. Everyone in the shop is aware of her scent and is following her with their eyes. They all think she smells amazing!!

[@ouch110]

Hehe that's quite an image. :)

[@MsBarbara.651]

Hmm. I like the way you describe scents. Is your name Charles?

[@Sarasapien]

I love the imagery in your depiction 😉

[@Sarasapien]

@@MsBarbara.651 haha

[@MsBarbara.651]

@@Sarasapien I was thinking Charles Gross. He used to describe perfume like that. It was amazing.

[@scarletwitch9816]

Interesting fact. You actually can't see through Narciso Rodriguez bottles. I believe I saw a picture on Makeup Alley where someone had basically dissected a bottle of the EDP version of For Her. The fragrance is actually inside a pouch and the inside of the bottle is painted. I found that so interesting. I love that about them though because it's nice to know that no light is getting in. I have so many fragrances and I wish that I could display them. Luckily I can put these stunningly beautiful and simplistic bottles on display. (Which I happily do.) Narciso Rodriguez has become unknowingly my favorite fragrance house. I think I have somehow managed to collect every single one of his fragrances. (Which isn't a bad thing because I love them so much.)

[@ouch110]

+Houston Howell That IS so interesting. Especially about the fragrance being inside a pouch within the bottle. How strange? But a really good way to protect the perfume! :)

[@Dan_Alien]

The Gardenia is what makes it smell creamy in my opinion. I adore this scent so much so I got the oil.

[@ouch110]

There's an oil? Oooooh cool!

[@Dan_Alien]

Yes it’s really pricey but I found a tester for a reasonable price I hear the oil is nice and thick too. It’s called Narciso Musc oil I can’t wait till it gets here! I hear it’s hard to dislike. 👍

[@th3azscorpio]

This scent is such an interesting and peculiar one. When I first tried a sample of it, I wasn't too impressed, and thought it was rather underwhelming... However, I decided to give it another go, and spray it on while getting ready for work one morning. This is where the scent fully bloomed. When it it that outside air, it evolved into a warm, creamy, powdery bouquet. I instantly fell in love with it! I'm so in love with it! Also, this scent is great for warm weather wear. I've noticed that powdery scents tend to go very well with my body chemistry; especially during summer.

[@mariankitagawa7525]

Haha. I'm so confused I just bought it. I'm still confused when I wear it. I think I love it. It is interesting and intriguing

[@mariajoseare]

the original or naciso rodriguez poudree???

[@daisytown]

I love what you did with the split screen! That way we can see the bottle in detail and still see you talking to us.

[@ouch110]

I should do that more...hmm maybe!

[@mirjambraun3586]

Tried it yesterday the first time. It was a warm day and it developed quickly into a powdery woody vanilla, very pleasant, but I’ll definitely have to test it in colder weather. I’m on the search for a cosy , slightly woodsy, milky vanillic fragrance and I think this might fit the bill.

[@janeraffaut9833]

Hi try zadig and volataire perfumes .

[@brittanykateevans]

Jane Raffaut absolutely agree. This Is Her is so milky and cosy

[@taurus8263]

I have Narciso as well and it is one of the smoothest and creamiest fragrances in my collection. Great for colder weather.

[@knittingdoula]

My first NR frag was Narciso EDT (the black cube - it's a bloody weapon if someone ever breaks into my home!). That perfume was love at first smell, and I mistakenly thought I had for her. I didn't. Then I smelled Narciso EDP and fell in love all over again - it seemed creamier, less sharp, less announcing of oneself. If the EDT was your fun aunt who buys you gifts, the EDP is your elegant older aunt who has no time for bullshit. Given all the hype around NR For Her EDT, I took home a sample for Nordstrom and knew I would LOOOOOOVE it. And damn it, I didn't!! Now, I'm gonna smell the stinkin' sample (AND will get a proper decant from Scentbird) until I DO love it. It's a freaking modern classic. And I enjoy the Fleur Musc as well - and that's without venturing into the men's versions. Love your reviews, my dear - keep going with them!!

[@ouch110]

Haha this comment is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Narciso can be a bit of a puzzle with the names etc...but it's rare that I smell one (even if it's not the one I intended to) and go eugh...they are quite safe and on the more beautiful side of fragrance. I need to discover more!

[@lanainamerica2043]

Narciso is stunning. My favorite from the cube perfumes. Narciso is elegant and mysterious. I love it.

[@saralout8207]

I totally agree with you, I bought it around the end of summer and it was a lovely creamy gardenia and now it smells sharp and indolic , went black swan on me . It boggles my mind. The lotion is still divine . Love your reviews ❤

[@ouch110]

Thank you!! This one holds very strong memories for me, I actually like all of Narciso's creations.

[@AJ-lr6cn]

I love perfumes that smell different. A scent with character . I'm not a fan of Narcisco other perfumes. However when I tried this I absolutely fell in love. It's an elegant classy mature feminine warm cozy scent. The woman who wears this is independent and strong with a pure heart.

[@jimtyrrell6419]

so happy you reviewed this one Im in love with this CREAMY/GARDENIA/CEDAR the bottle grabbed my attention then the list of notes blind buy man was I pleasantly surprised Ive nothing else that smells like this it gets lots of compliments so it must smell good on a man cheers! JIM fropm MIAMI BEACH

[@annabozyk9888]

I can't really tell if you like it or not.

[@AlvinaRayne]

You actually can see through the bottle but you have to put it directly in front of a light bulb it's really cool because the bottle doesn't look half empty but you can always see how much it has inside when you put it right against the light bulb! 👌 💡

[@ouch110]

Good tip! Just don't hold it up to the light too long...it might multiply and lay eggs! haha seriously though...perfume hates light. :)

[@lameshahale2990]

You should do a review on Narciso Poudree one day... I love love love it! It is also creamy & dreamy lolol. Mmmm it is my signature scent..

[@lavender5765]

Please : Is podree more seductive than this white flanker ?

[@AlvinaRayne]

@@lavender5765 Yes, it's mind blowing

[@toniapedd]

Here I am 5+years later watching this review🤷‍♀️You said to me once before you always see comments, so maybe? you'll see this one??!! This was the funniest review I've ever seen you do! I couldn't decide if you were high af or I was LOL This one really had you all over the place, huh?!!🤣 First, I needed this last night, in the very early am hours, like 3am, when I got up (insomnia) and went to my kitchen and thought I saw a person through my sliding glass doors on my porch!! I went straight back to my room and was looking for something to use as a weapon.. wish I had this bottle by the way you described it as, literally, a weapon!! Thanks for this review!! I laughed so much!! And when I say I've had the shittiest of times recently, it's a huge understatement and you made me LOL! Though I have no idea what to think of this fragrance, I do know I will remember this review, and I now love you more than ever!!!

[@0TashieLeigh0]

Poudree is my favorite from the lineup of chunky Narcisos. It's creamy, dreamy and delicious! Truly addictive!!!! Please do try if you havn't already. If you like powdery scents, rose and musk you must test it out! Oh. My. Goodness.

[@tootimcslop5034]

I have been tempted to blind buy this because I want to smell it so bad...but I’ve been holding off because it’s expensive. I probably won’t blind buy now as you’ve said it’s not safe. Thank you. I will try to find a way to smell a sample first

[@AlicesWorld-qe7kb]

I just got this and I freaking love it, I think this is more unisex because it smells great on me and my son. It’s amazing, in our household of 6, 5 of us love it.

[@ouch110]

That's so cool! Family sharing!

[@na-mc4cv]

I was visiting family and when I went into the kitchen is kept getting a whiff of something mesmerising. thinking it was my nephews fragrance I went up to him to smell him directly but couldn't detect that scent which I was still getting wafts of. I think it's me said my neice and when I went closer I could tell it was! I could have sworn it was a man's cologne! I tried it on , initially it is very strong. it definitely smells very interesting but I'm not sure I can wear it but do love smelling it! anyway as they could see how obsessed I was with it I got it as a gift! so now I will be able to explore this fragrance further. I am tempted to dose my husband in it and just smell him though...

[@ouch110]

I'm wearing this today! :) I go back and forth with it but today is a GOOD day! It really is beautiful. Narciso Rodruiges style of fragrance is very beautiful. They make very lovely stuff!

[@MissVictoriaBeatrix]

I actually love the fact that it's a creamy chameleon in a bottle. Every time I wear it it plays with me, its character and performance are certainly interesting and intriguing. Though sometimes it's very sour, which I don't appreciate at all in perfumes.

[@ouch110]

+Victoria Smith Definitely a chameleon. I'm still in two minds whether to try and swap this or not. hmm.

[@HollyTheExploder]

This is my faavourite Narciso fragrance - it encouraged me to blind buy for her edt and edp - but NOTHING compares to this. It's utterly gorgeous. The only problem is that I can't throw it in my bag for the day when I'm wearing it because the bottle is too heavy.

[@ouch110]

Haha yes the bottle is like a bloody BRICK! But it's a gorgeous perfume.

[@FragranceView]

I love the bottle designs they have.. very classy

[@ouch110]

+FragranceView They are very classy yep. I haven't actually tried any of the men's ones. The musk one intrigues me. :)

[@FragranceView]

+ouch110 Fragrance Reviews I blind bought it, it's coming at the end of the week hopefully.. I like musk, I'll let you know what it's like!

[@ouch110]

Oooh blind buy! They're always exciting. Well..Narciso seems to know how to use musk very well so I'll look out for the review. :)

[@FragranceView]

I blind bought an Andy Tauer too :( that one is gonna be riskayyyy lol

[@ouch110]

You did?? Coool which one? I'm loving his fragrances. I really want to smell noontide petals (As I'm a tuberose lover).

[@azanuan9185]

Now that I have the full bottle I absolutely get your review 😃very accurate

[@oliviavillanueva3937]

I love gardenia is one of my favorite flower that and magnolia I like them both I hope to love this because I’m looking for a true gardenia scent

[@soup6646]

Try Tocca “ Florence”. Beautiful, bright, straight-up Gardenia!

[@fouzsaeed1380]

This is the best review on this perfume.. cause you said it all. I have the same mixed feelings about it and when you said it doesn't smell the same on the paper and on your skin I was like.. uh! Someone just said it! Keep it up

[@ouch110]

Thank you!!! :) This one really makes me feel mixed depending on which day it is...haha.

[@stephanier2690]

I briefly loved Narciso Poudree. Then someone commented that it smells like baby oil or baby powder and now that’s all I think about when I smell it. So I started to dislike it and cannot wear it anymore. I am now curious about this Narciso.

[@wickerbillhomestead]

I can't quite make up my mind on Narciso either, glad to know it's not just me!

[@ouch110]

+Centsless I think there are quite a few of us ya know. The more people I speak to, the more I realize this is the case. :)

it has many layers in my skin. I can go to many worlds when I use it.

I like his scents but I have yet to find one that last's a long time on me. I love a fragrance that can last all day...his just doesn't do that (at least not on me). But! They are nice....

[@ouch110]

+SilkOil This one lasts on me, which is great...it just doesn't know what to do on my skin. It's a very troubled and confused perfume haha.

[@grunerbaum5143]

Hello Thomas, thank you so much for your interesting content. Is it true that Narciso now is discontinued?

[@sarahrobinson3423]

Seems like this fragrance house lasts forever on me my favorite is the black bottle edt. Compliments galore

[@natrlgrl]

That's my favourite too.

[@evaready900]

It doesn't works with your body chemistry....it last up to 12 hrs on me. Smells devine🙃

[@wasserdroppen88]

This is my absolute favourite. I love it. But I guess the taste is diferent from person to person :)

[@ouch110]

Yes. I think this is beautiful, but sometimes it has a sour tang on me which is slightly weird.

[@kateyellow3]

I'm so confused too!!! I think it smells like those lotto scratchies hahaha. I love how it's so different but definitely smells different whenever I wear it

[@ouch110]

Lotto scratchies? Hehe. Fun!

+Marianne Kitagawa Sometimes I am, and sometimes I'm not. It's very strange. Sometimes it's gorgeous, and other times it's sour. I don't know what's going on with this one! hehe.

[@dibti0]

I haven't found a Narciso that suits me yet (musk can be quick finicky on me), and I don't think this one would either, haha. The bottle is so elegant though!

[@ouch110]

+Kate I LOVE the bottle. I really want to smell this one on someone else. It sometimes smells tart and sour, but then other times its's dreamy...I just don't know. :)

[@Sarasapien]

I have grown to really appreciate and even love NR fragrances 🕊🌻 have you tried L’eau by NR (for Her perfume line). I believe it’s discontinued but you can still find it from a few different vendors. I’ve been really wanting to pick it up, but I would really like to see more reviews on, which aren’t too many out there. I noticed you mentioned the heaviness of the the bottle, and I have to agree. Although, I really like it, I accidentally dropped it and broke it :/ i must say the quality of the glass is outstanding. It took a hard fall and only broke in 2 pieces lol

[@ouch110]

I haven's tried that one! As much as I loev NR fragrances, they are difficult to keep up with, especially the names haha

[@Sarasapien]

@@ouch110 I know what you mean!

[@odethbenitez4073]

Inlove with this perfume as soon I put it on my I feel the powdering and gardenias but one thing I hate is not long lasting on me ...just 30 mnts and gone....

[@ouch110]

Oh wow? That's a shame. I get lots of longevity from this. :(

[@NTRMK1]

Is this for men or women, and can a man wear it?

[@maureenhannivan8043]

Hi again ouch , I just bought pop bluebell by Stella Mccartney lm very happy with it. Only one problem is you have to go through first note is achohol. Wondering if it is anything like joy Malone bluebell? Have only one Rodriguez.

[@ouch110]

Hmm I'm not sure. I haven't tried Bluebell. :(

[@stelladiverflynn3217]

I enjoy NR for her EDT a lot, a musk which manages to be clean and sexy, without being laundry-like. Therefore, I was looking forward to trying this new Narciso. Unfortunately, I got the chemical hint that you described. Actually, I also get a sort of ink-like aroma in For Her EDT which is very intriguing, while in Narciso, this artificial nuance didn't turn out well on me. Dommage. :(

[@ouch110]

+StellaDiverFlynn This one has a bit of the laundry thing don't you think? But only sometimes. This one is a bit of everything at one point or another...this is why it's baffling to me. It's trying to be lots of things at once. The sour note is what's off putting. But then...sometimes? When it's having a good day? I get a gorgeous complex gardenia with a lovely clean creamy musk..I don't know...*frowns*

[@stelladiverflynn3217]

+ouch110 Fragrance Reviews I can see how this 'schizophrenic' behaviour can be baffling. You never know which day is the 'good' day. :P I'd say Narciso feels more 'chemical' than simply laundry-like musk on me, but I only tried it twice. Maybe I should try it again sometime. Perhaps it will be a 'good' day for me! :D

[@ouch110]

:) Most of the time I don't mind a bit of schizophrenic perfume behaviour, but this with one..it's off putting. I really should try is again. I'd like to swap or sell it really but it's so hard with the opaque heavy bottle to figure out how much is left. grrrr. :)

[@deidrazimmerman3185]

I love it, I don't know why it's not A lot of reviews on it.

+Rinat e "For Her" is much better. I do really like this one..but it baffles me a bit. It's pretty...and weird.

This actually smells slightly spearmint-y on me. Like a fresh breath inside all the creaminess.

[@SwimmerPrince]

Narciso Rodriguez mens perfumes are way too strong for me although I can appreciate the thoughts behind them. Would it be ok if a guy wear this or Poudree? I really love the smell 😯

[@ouch110]

This one is actually very delicate I think, the Poudree one more delicate still. I think both are very feminine but, wear it if you like the smell, this one smells very clean and not so much like you are wearing a fragrance. Just give it a go!

[@hildeklop7346]

ik heb hem ook hij is lekker zoet weet waar hij van dan komt uit italie

[@ouch110]

Ja, het is een heel mooi parfum!

[@mgoskay]

What do you think about it now?

[@ouch110]

Same. I still think this a beautiful fragrance. Stunning and classy. I actually gave it to my mother recently as it doesn't "scatch my itch" as I'm moving towards darker heavier things. There's no doubt this is a gorgeous perfume though.

[@CroElectroStile]

is this only for women? ir is it unisex?

[@yanazulkarnain]

i have to agree with u. im on the fence.

[@ouch110]

+Nurliyana Zulkarnain It really is a weird one. I smelled it again the other day and then LOVED it. Argh...I will keep it anyway but..I really just can't figure it out. :)

[@besoart]

Is it good to men? Coz I don't want to smell feminine

[@ouch110]

I would maybe stay away from this one because it is a creamy musky gardenia, however..it smells very clean like clean clothes so I personally don't think it's wayyy feminine. It's all about how daring you are..if you love the smell? Then just test it and wear it. :)

[@besoart]

Miss de hoy

[@rubyrose2522]

Hello handsome cutie. I don't care for the musk in the For Her versions. It's just too skanky, however this one to me is wearable. Very womanly, soft, and mature. I decided to blind buy Poudree instead and already watched your review. I have to watch what I wear when my hormones are bitchy, and this version is what i imagine a PMSing female to reek of. That's not very appealing and yet rather so in a nasty animalistic way.

[@ouch110]

Haha love your message and I wanna say...omg Narciso musks are always soft. The skank? I would love if he did a true skank musk. oooh

[@paint.it.6lack]

Lmao, this comment made me laugh!

[@CroElectroStile]

is this only for women? ir is it unisex?

[@ouch110]

I mean, every fragrance is unisex. You just gotta like the smell and be comfortable. Don't let the label make you choose. Most middle eastern men wear ROSE perfumes...it's just different in different parts of the world. Try it, if you like it? WEAR IT!" :)
