Narciso Rodriguez For Her
feminine
Created by Christine Nagel, Francis Kurkdjian
Narciso Rodriguez For Her by Narciso Rodriguez is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women. Narciso Rodriguez For Her was launched in 2003. Narciso Rodriguez For Her was created by Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian. Top notes are African Orange Flower, Osmanthus and Bergamot; middle notes are Musk and Amber; base notes are Vetiver, Patchouli and Vanille. This perfume is the winner of 2 awards: FiFi Award Fragrance Of The Year Women`s Nouveau Niche 2004 and FiFi Award Fragrance Of The Year Women`s Nouveau Niche 2007 . Young and very modern American designer of Cuban origins Narciso Rodriguez has launched his first fragrances which has instantly become the hit in the US, and not only there. The new modern aroma is aimed at the modern and free woman, who is aware of her sexuality. Popularity of this fragrance (regardless of its unusual composition and a heavy character, and perhaps exactly because of that) is easy to explain because it reflects a desire of every woman to attract and seduce, and this fragrance has openly sexual character. Unusual lustful composition is created with the sensual musk in its centre, surrounded by orange, osmanthus and amber. The base unites vanilla, amber and vetiver. Intensive sharp scent with hidden and scarcely discernible densely-sweet nuance in the centre later turns into a soft and balmy powder. The aggression disappears and the fragrance becomes tame and gentle. At first, in 2004 it was launched as EDT in a black bottle in pink outer box. Then in 2006 the EDP was created in a pink bottle and black outer box. The composition was changed, despite the fact that the musk note has remained in the centre of the composition. EDP has rose note in the top. The trace has become more mysterious and rich, thanks to exotic woods – patchouli and sandalwood. Both variances of the fragrance can be described as floral chypre with intensive musk nuance, only the first one is sharper and more aggressive, while the second one is sweeter and softer. The creators of these fragrances are Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her is a beloved signature fragrance that garners compliments and has a loyal following, but experiences are increasingly inconsistent due to recent reformulations and counterfeiting issues. While many appreciate its soft musk and floral profile, others find it sharp or cloying, and it tends to cause quick nose blindness despite good longevity. Purchasing from authorized retailers is essential to avoid inferior formulations.
