Narciso Rodriguez For Her Iridescent

I’m ruined. I was last Thursday years old when I decided to grab this off eBay. New in box and sealed. A good 15 years old. Discolored pee-pee yellow, from its former shimmering swirly pink. I never knew of it in its hey day, so I didn’t care about the color. Immediately i pull off cap and spray carefully- whoah. Lacquer? I dunno, very strong smell. Yuck. Then, it dissipates quickly into possibly my favorite smell ever. Everything I wanted. BUT then it’s gone. It lingers for maybe 20 minutes. Then gone gone. I actually already have Cleopatra by tocca, which is the closest “reminds me of” scent. They are similar but cleopatra is much sharper, louder and more patchouli heavy. However, it is eternal. I’ve never smelled NR for her original. Iridescent is much smoother than Cleo ( after initial spray) and softer, and like a perfect soft Egyptian musk with a teeny tiny sweet note- but it is all so fleeting. You’re not getting even an hour out of this. I bought 2 more so I can spray every where every time I pass the bottle, but I can’t keep up these shenanigans. Way too expensive, long discontinued and way too fleeting. I am not sure if it is because the perfume is so old now, or it was always this way. I will never know. Sometimes I wish I never knew. I love her so so much, in a way I just need to smell it on myself. Couldn’t care less if it was a compliment getter. If it’s modern, if it’s old. It just hits that spot in my brain that is scent perfection for me.

It's taken me awhile to warm up to Iridescent and now I'm head over heals for this little gem. It still has the slight edginess of the original but it's been toned downed and softened in all the right places. Nezzabel wrote w/such accurate detail about the notes that you don't really need that part from me. I just had to speak to the softness of this beauty. This is what I had hoped every other offering from this house would be. So~if like me the harshness of the originals has been an issue for your skin~run to give this version a try. I feel like I finally have a glimpse into what everyone has been raving about for years!It is a beautiful cloud of floral musk w/ some golden basenotes that make you feel as if you're wearing the glorious aura of a sunset. You can still smell the flowers in the air from the heat of the day and the fragrance of Iridescent coming off of your skin signals that everything is a possibility. Dinner, dancing, snuggling,having a group of friends over, on a cruise or vacation,a motorcycle ride, a day in the city or a day in the country, a boat excursion, your son's or daughter's school play , a Broadway play~any occasion that you can think of~this fragrance will be your best friend.

All Narcizo Rodriguez's flankers are siblings and yet rivals, indeed.They resemble each other more or less. This Iridescent is very much alike with NR Delicate EDT( purple bottle).Both of them are silky-milky, tutti-frutti, but I find this one nuttier and more animalic, because of the higher concentration either of osmanthus or musk here, I guess.It's rather skin scent with soft sillage and even more delicate persistence than in Delicate EDT itself. But what a beauty! Sensuous, sexy, seductive and celestial at the same time. Effortlessly chic summer smell- your skin but better, indeed. Pearl ! Mesmerising!!

I had been agonizing over whether to get the original NR For Her EDT or EDP and bought this on a whim insead. I'm glad I did. I don't have the EDP, but I have a smaple of the EDT and doing a side-by-side, Iridescent is much smoother. Whatever it was that was shrill or 'screechy' in the EDT has been softened. BUT it never gets sweetly floral flat the way I sometimes felt the EDP did.

If you already had NR EDP, you don't have to buy this version. Except your EDP has empty and you still want it also want a sharper, brighter, less powdery from the EDP you should take this ! The drydown is less roses than NR EDP. I will offer my cousins or my friends to buy my lovely NR Iridescent, because I don't want to have 2 similar perfumes at the same time.

I find this perfume quite lovely, however, my boyfriend is not a fan, which really deflates its appeal for me :-/ I have a 1 oz bottle that is about 80% full, would anyone like to trade? Send me a message :)

Iridescent fragrance is not just the Eau de Parfum (EDP, pink bottle) with some glitter on. No. Iridescent fragrance is, in fact, a summer version of the EDP. It's a lighter, brighter and sweeter edition. It's the EDP watered down, specially when it comes to the musk and the woody notes. It opens with a bright, full, sweet, liquorish rose that you can almost taste the nectar - maybe due to the use of the honey flower. And it has, definitely, some kind of fruity note. Then, the orange flower and the osmanthus emerge, but they never outshine the rose, that remains full and sweet, and it's the queen of this edition. The base notes: a suave musk note, a spark of amber, a touch of vanilla and a tiny woody accord and... voilá! A wonderful summer take on of one of the most iconic perfumes of the XXI century! And yes, you can expect the scent of the EDP tonned down, but this is a rounder, brighter, a bit sweeter and delicate fragrance. Don't expect the sillage or the staying power of the EDP - Iridescent fragrance is a summer version and a skinscent. Even though I can't complaint about the sillage (everytime I wore it, everyone seemed to appreciate it and complimented me about it, wich is not very usual for me). The staying power is ok - about 5 hours. The bottle is great: it's the same bottle of Narciso Rodriguez For Her, with a pink cap but with a clear glass bottle. Though, it looks like the one on the picture once you shake the bottle. The glitter/shimmer is very discreet: only you will notice it and barely... no one around you will actually see it! Have in mind that Iridescent fragrance is a very soft scent, almost like a veil and really delicate. It's very feminine and it's still a sexy scent, even though here the musk is cleaner and the woody notes are transparent. I believe it's a great scent for the summer time, specially for the lovers of Narciso Rodriguez For Her, as myself. And it may be a summer version of it, but it hasn't lost the magic of the original. ... And this is why Francis Kurkdjian is one of my favourite noses! Merci Francis!=)

When I let my boyfriend smell this, he exclaimed: "you smell like you just showered!" :) I'd say this is a good thing, especially because it's clean, bit not at all soapy. It's a warm scient, but not gourmand in any way, I'd say. This is what people further away from you will smell. The first note when I smell this on myself is a milky one, with a sweet (plum-peach-fruity) smell of osmanthus, and flowery, sweet, dry waxy smell of the orange flower (it does not smell citrus inn any way, if you're wondering). I think it's also top notes in The NR For Her EDT - it's quite East to smell The resemblance. Then I get a smoky, earthy note that might very well be vetiver. Then I get musk. This might not be The best note for me, as I know it sometimes causes me a head ache, but we'll see... I spray this SPARINGLY - ONE spray, it smells stronger than one may think, and reappears when you get hot. Lasting power is pretty good too - I can still smell it om myself after 6 hours, and as said, it can reappear if your skin gets hot. I bet other people will be able to smell it even longer.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Iridescent ... I totally agree with Happyme2009. For her Iridescent closely resembles of the EDP. The scent is, however, sheerer, and lighter when applied on the skin. Both scents are well-refined sweet floral with genteel musk undertone. Open with a blast of nectarial sweet orange blossom. Osmanthus adds a hint of tartness while the earthy wood keeps this classy beauty grounded. Soft vanilla--surfaces here and there--helps soften the prominent floral. As opposed to the EDP, lack of patchouli and rosy nuance makes For her Iridescent much younger and brighter. If Narciso Rodriguez For Her was a tree, The Iridescent would be the unripe For Her fruit--its scent is still slightly tart and less intense. The EDP, however, is the fully ripe one with sweeter, deeper and more mature scent. I like sour fruit and personally prefer the Iridescent for its youth, brightness and the hypnotizing fluid. Deliciously feminine. ❤‿❤

Kurkdjian loves his orange blossoms, yes he does. Good thing I do too. Dial down the creaminess and the piquant facets of Elie Saab Le Parfum and sheer it out to almost nothing, just a soft wash, and you effectively have this, and what a lovely thing it is.

Another stunning creation from the hands of talented Francis Kurkdjian, and perhaps there's this man do you think is not great?! Definitely the flanker Narciso Rodriguez For Her Iridescent is almost the same as Narciso Rodriguez in its EDP version, with the addition of trilhares kilos of brightness added to the juice and the Indol footprint Orange Blossom bouquet, leaving it softer , romantic and glossy than the first. Absolutely this fragrance is bottled poetry, a meeting between innocence and awakening of sensuality, and this is revealed in its output where the sweet peach asks Rose, still "gourd", to marry and copulate discovering one another intensely in an environment where there is Orange flowers scattered all parts being witnesses of love rolling there. Soon after this romantic couple travels to the Middle East and wandering Essences houses where they sell natural fragrances that the base of which is of Sandalwood and Musk, all very original, fresh and stimulating. After the trip, the enamored couple there from the beginning finds in Brazil wood land the stunning beauty of a herbaceous Patchouli mixed with drops of green sandalwood, still with their leaves and flowers exuding sparingly her soft tones woody. I read something about Narciso Rodriguez in his Iridescent version and fully agree: "If Narciso Rodriguez EDP is a beautiful tree, Narciso Rodriguez Iridescent without error, it is your perfect fruit." Absolutely a cult of feminism and merely charming as the combination "colorful" and thriving of a soap bubble lost in the air! Women who enjoy a perfuming connected to praise, are losing a lot for not having known this for 12 hours it fixed and design very well in the first 8 h. Word of the day: love... (day 40)

Really beautiful and soft version of the For Her edp. The bottle is gorgeous, the liquid inside is mesmerizing to look at, it's just magical. The juice is similar to the the original, but softer... the musc is there, clean but not soapy. The roses are overtaken by osmathus and orange blossom. Indeed the fragrance is luminous and bright, very elegant and classy. In the beginning I detect some orange juice along with the orange blossoms, but the citrus is sweet and mellow, then it disappears. Overall, it is much smoother than both edt and edp. It seems a little weaker in the beginning, but it's not... just an illusion due to softness..... few minutes later, a few sprays and a cloud of scent develops. Lasting power is good too. I thought I was becoming used to it or something but friend visited and told me the entire house smells like it. Just wonderful,feminine, classy, easy to wear, charming.

I can't really smell any Narciso but this one I can. At least, I smell furniture polish. When I first got this I don't even remember anything as tangible as that. I only bought it because it was limited edition and I loved watching the swirly sparkly juice in the bottle. I kept it in a box in the dark but the iridescent liquid looks to have discoloured slightly in mine, it has gone from the pure pink I remember to sort of gold. This may account for the unadulterated furniture polish smell. My husband said he liked it. God knows what he's sensing..?

Still available at "The Bay" on Queen Street in Toronto for a limited time only. This was a successful fragrance and was brought back. There's about 10 of these left. Amazing fragrance and addition to your fragrance wardrobe. If you're in town, pick up a bottle. It leaves your skin glowing with a slight shimmer, beautiful!!!!

Very light floral musk. Sweet, but with quite a sharp dry down I find, when I can smell it at all. Only ok scent but I could watch the iridescent sparkles quite literally all day.. shake the bottle, watch the otherworldly pink liquid float around itself.. fascinating to the point of hypnosis.

this is a parfume for spring,the smell is fantastic.
