Narciso Rodriguez For Her

Took at least a year of observation and patience before I finally decided to write a review for this one: First of all, it is probably my favourite fragrance of all time, I wear it whenever I feel like it, hot or cold days, in or outdoors. Doesn't matter if I'm spending time with anyone, or just chilling in my bed alone, this is the kind of perfume that I'd spray just for myself and not for anyone else- solely cause of how much I adore it and want to indulge in it instead of trying to impress anyone. I'm never good at describing fragrances as I don't have the nose of the perfumery experts, so I'll leave those perfume notes breaking down, analysis of the ingredients, etc. to my other fragranticans (if you're looking for the more chemical side of information regarding this perfume, really sorry to disappoint but I won't touch on it in this review, you could try reading other reviews) But I'll tell you what I learn about Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT from my own experience: it's not for everyone. If you're looking for a safe scent for work, or something that will earn you compliments, I can't guarantee that. My advice: don't blind buy, get a sample and try it first. From my experience, my girl friends think it's too old fashioned, my mum thinks it's too strong, some of the reviews y'all left here said it's too musky, too floral, too synthetic, too soapy, etc. But that might as well be the reason I love it- this is the fragrance I fell in love with. Before discovering Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT, I was always struggling looking for the 'right perfume'- something that's not too sweet, not too strong, however not too generic too, something that's crowd pleasing. While names like Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, La vie Est Belle, Chanel and a few others might have a higher rate of fulfilling those boxes, however, I never really got to build a personal relationship with the fragrance-to really fall in love with it. Until I met NR For Her EDT, she taught me to find what I love, and revel in it. Don't care what others say, wear it if you love it. Too strong for the church folks? Then don't wear it to church. Too dark for morning picnics? Then fine maybe wear it later in the evening. But will that stop me from wearing it for myself? No. I wear it whenever I miss it. It's like having a date with a dear friend. After shower, get NR For Her and just relax. Enjoy it. Breathe it. And this is why it took me a year to save my review before publishing it cause it really means a lot to me, I pray all of us can find the one fragrance we love and revel in it <3

Years ago in the beginning of my perfume journey I blind-bought four moderately expensive, lesser-known fragrances in one shot. Over a decade later, all have remained favorites. Of the four, I wore Narciso all autumn and winter for daytime (another at night, but only after a shower because the Narciso LASTS) and it never failed to be complimented. I had no idea what the notes were at the time, and I don't think I ever looked, just bought it on instinct. For me this is dark, jammy rose, dark florals, and ripe red fruits on a bed of fresh-cut cedar and musk. Several feet away someone is smoking a very expensive cigar. I have absolutely no idea what people are talking about when they refer to this fragrance being a musky, powdery white floral. I have the 2003 formulation and it has always been dark and jammy on me. For Her is not for the teen-and-twenties set, this is grown women-only. You wouldn't think it has such an animalic quality to it but this thing draws men for a second sniff like flies to a vat of honey. I love it like I loved the now-discontinued In Black by Jesus del Pozo. But there's one in this vein that I like even better, which is Swiss Arabian's Shaghaf Oud Aswad. When it comes down to it, I'll always reach for sandalwood, oud, cedar and vetiver in a blind test. Both are classy, smooth, and ultra-feminine in a dark, knows-who-she-is way. Both will get attention. And For Her will always be around for the moments when I want the more jammy rose-and-fruits forward option. PS. The other three in that blind buy haul (2005) were Lolita Lempicka (original 1997 stem bottle); Le Baiser du Dragon (Cartier- nighttime only); and Cashmere Mist (DKNY). The four fragrances could not be more different from one another and yet I will always have them.

MA GOSH ! Drench me in that juice RN ! Where do i start I have literally no idea Do i start from how good the orange blossom is blended here Or how the osmanthus here is really balanced and not leathery or sickly sweet apricot like gucci flora did it Or the musk ! ohhh my allah guys listen... we need to give more attention to how weirdly addictive and unique the musk note is here literally wtf Why is nobody mentioning how cashmery and silky the musk is Its everything except ur usual powdery or clean musk its nooottt No no this thing isn’t normal Im gonna say some weird stuff but take it with a grain of salt The musk here is dusty verrry dusty actually not clean Also tiniest hints of animalic-ness and has a mature intense feel maybe also earthy smells like cashmere scarf and sheets of smth cottony It’s a really complex type of musk it has so many layers and a unique texture to it A Combination of so many aromas mixed together I heard that they were trying to replicate the Egyptian musk scent so maybe that’s why And the amber doesn’t smell like white amber it actually supports the dustiness of the musk to appear more That cashmery dustiness of the musk ohhh i LOVE IT i get it also in PURE MUSC NARCISO and in 212 NYC CH Last thing i want to mention is the patchouli isn’t so prominent Its soo obvious specially in the opening but turns more subtle by time The projection IS INSAAANNEEEEE RIGHT OFF BEASTLY Superb sillage for and lasts DAAAYSSS on clothes But what ur gonna get in the air is a dusty musky&ambery orange blossom Smells like the late 90’s strongly A huge love

i read mixed reviews about this fragrance and i debated anxiously on if i should blind buy it on a whim or wait till i got a chance to smell it. some people really loved it and some really didn’t, i finally got a chance to smell this in a store and at first i was disappointed and relieved i didn’t blind buy it because as some reviews mention the opening is very very harsh, but i kept the tester strip with me and continued to smell it every so often as i continued doing what i was out for and as the scent settled the most beautiful clean sophisticated yet sexy fragrance began to shine through and it was everything i hoped it’d be (sorry im new to the fragrance world so i dont know all the correct terminology or how to describe things like others in the reviews) but honestly i felt another sense of relief wash over me because it was everything id hoped it’d be. i didn’t quite understand what people meant by a clean smelling fragrance but i did when i smelt this. clean in a woman who has her life together, always has freshly washed clean sheets, wears a freshly ironed blazer to her cooperate job with not a stray hair in her face. but also to me it felt a little sexy too, like if someone smelt this on you they’d imagine what i previously stated but with a little bit of femme fatale energy mixed into it. i think this fragrance can be worn by younger and older ladies (im 18) and i will definitely be purchasing the 150ml lol i really did like this fragrance!

Narciso Rodriguez for Her is spectacular. It's sensual and discreet at the same time. It doesn't have a huge sillage, but everyone can smell you. It's intense yet not overbearing. It's feminine, although it does have some masculine elements. It has a retro vibe, although it stays modern throughout the years. It's an almost perfect second skin perfume, in the sense that it doesn't quite scream "I WEAR PERFUME", but it rather melts with your own skin chemistry, making it soft and sensual. Yet, everyone will smell it, and it's undeniably, boldly sexy. What I mean is everyone will smell you, but no one will think that this scent is actually a perfume. Complex, and almost impossible to describe. Looking at the notes, I can definitely say that the most noticeable and present is musk. Very animalic. Orange blossom is also really noticeable, giving it a bit of lightness. It dries down to a gorgeous woody and animalic scent, a tad rosy. Beautiful, persistent longevity paired with that weirdo "I'm here, but I actually don't exist" sillage makes an extremely great performer during all seasons. I think it's one of the sexiest scents I've smelled. I, as a man, find it really appealing on a woman's skin, but I have to admit it's gorgeous on me, because of all this complex effect it has, and that wonderful dry down. Weird, but beautiful.

My current personal favourite fragrance. Oh my. This is really something that needs to interact with your skin chemistry for a good final result. If you smell it on a blotter it will not be the same. The first time I tried it, it wasn't love at first smell, but I noticed as time passed by that I couldn't stop smelling my arm. My mum gave me a full sized bottle for Christmas, and it's everything I would associate with the idea of a classy, clean and feminine fragrance. It is sweet and floral on the drydown, but the osmanthus and musk make it creamy and sophisticated like no other. Every single time I wear it, I feel calm, collected and powerful. I am a bad b**** who is confident in her skin and has her s*** together. Personally, I don't understand why people would say it's a grandma perfume. Sure, its powderiness is not a very common characteristic in this time of gourmand sugar-vanilla bombs, but this is what makes it timeless and comforting. I feel like women of all ages could pull this off. It's something that will make you stand out because you smell different, not because you smell sweeter than anyone in the room and they can smell you from the hallway. This is a much quieter thing, more composed, but delicious nonetheless.

In my opinion, one of the most powerful things about fragrance is its innate ability to invoke memories. For Her was the only perfume I brought and wore during my first trip to Italy when I was 19, close to turning 20, having gone without my parents and only two close family members of mine. I was alone, without parental vision, speaking my second language and seeing a foreign yet familiar land. I was obviously out of my comfort zone, yet I was confident, excited and alive. For Her is a personal gift for me. For Her reminds me of independence, confidence, and adventure. It screams feminine, confident and sexy thanks to the delicate balance of bergamot and orange flower mixed with musk and a slight tinge of powder. It’s elegant and feminine yet contains such a discreet, raw sex appeal that I find myself hesitant wearing it in certain settings. Then again, I wear it anyway. It was also For Her that introduced me to musky notes in women’s perfumes, and I have yet to look back at scents that don’t contain a dark undertone since. This has been with me through thick and thin, through low and high moments of my life, and as a result it will always embody confidence, passion and resilience for me.

I’m early 30s woman in London. Tried a sample and liked it so asked for a bottle for Christmas, but after properly wearing it since owning I’m obsessed. Appropriate for all seasons, day and night. I have a few Narciso Rodriguez for her line (Musc noir, Musc noir rose, Musc nude and Pure Musc) this one knocks the rest out of the water. There’s an effervescence in the opening that I find addictive. Well blended, slightly mature but not old lady. It’s sophisticated and bright and airy. The musk works beautifully on my skin. She’s pretty and sensual and kinda mysterious. Proformance far outlasts the others in the line I have. I’ll spray this in the morning before work and still smell it on myself when I get home in the evening. I’m quite sensitive to patchouli notes making me feel nauseous & headachey but the patchouli in here doesn’t do that to me so if you’re also a patchouli hater don’t let that put you off trying For Her EDT. Between this and Issey Miyake L’eau D’Issey EDT, I’ve stopped wanting to wear any of my other fragrances. Seriously contemplating selling most of them cause the way I feel about these two fragrances is how I want to feel about everything I own and wear.

2026 EDT and Body Cream In Summer... she performs her intoxicating magic like an arabian Dancer ... in Winter she turns into a fantastic cold hearted sexy beast - love her on my jumpers and throws. Oh the joy of finding out that the body cream isn't a disappointment - this is lush with patchouli, the bergamot in the cream is sharp for the first 10 minutes almost too much but it thankfully passes away into a lovely cosy orange blossom, amber musk patchouli dream. I highly recommend the body cream you could even wear it alone - Elizabeth Arden White Tea Orange Blossom is insanely good on top of this too. The EDT is the very best out of the two versions, she's still as gorgeous and modern today as she was when she first struck out in my face all those years ago. And yes you can just wear her alone but I'd definitely do 15 sprays on your clothes, the sillage is that of Amouage 46 with that much powering you. If you want to try Charlotte Tilbury Magic Potion and any rose perfume with Narcisso Rodriguez For Her... you'll knock your senses off with the intoxicating bomb you're experiencing, to date, this is my absolute 💯 best combination for sexy yet uplifting therapy.

The opening is what I imagine a Japanese garden would smell like (it's probably the osmanthus). It dries down to a soft powder with still strong floral notes. Almost every perfume turns bitter on my skin, but with this perfume, the bitterness matches perfectly (like matcha green tea!). I love this scent for work because it's elegant yet a bit sweet, but it's a bit weak-sauce (expected since it's an EDT) - disappears after an hour if only on the skin, not that I mind since overly strong perfume is just obnoxious. I spray it on myself before I dress, which lasts much longer since the skin and clothing shares the perfume. I didn't realise there was powderiness to this before I searched it lol! It seems I have a thing for white floral, musky, powdery perfumes because they're what I get drawn to most. I wouldn't really spray this in the summer as this scent doesn't suit the season to me, but every other time is a fair go. Not a teen's perfume, but a young lady's or lady in her 40s looking for something to complete their fit for the office! Overall, very nice and definitely something that will be staying in my collection as a daily driver!

I owned this a LONG time ago .. and moved on because there were so many more things I wanted to explore. Today at my flea market a guy sold me a VINTAGE full sized bottle for $10.00 ! What!? I guess he thought it was some no name bottle of junk from T,.J, Maxx? Men. This one is a challenge on one level and it's hard to accept that flowers live in here! LOL. I guess this is an option on days where you do not need to feel "all pretty" before going out ? Once you spray this on and it settles - you do get something special indeed. This is an example of a fragrance that can go in all sorts of different directions and all sorts of different people. Yeah- the dry down is nicer and more human than the spritz out. Much superior to SJP Lovely . MUSK is a weird term that seems to be all over the place. This sure does not smell like it came from an animal. My FAVE Narcisco of all time is L'Absolou ,,,and it's discontinued. For Her is not a safe blind buy (unless you get it for $10.00. LOL) . If you live near a weekly flea market -- get your ass down there ! I have scored so many vintage perfumes for under $20.00 over the years !

This is more than a fragrance. It's more than every woman's sexy little black dress. It's more than every man's saucy minx. It's a legend, a map key. It was my invitation to a world only a few have truly discovered. Somewhere between this, the original Narciso Rodriguez for Her, and the edp, my love of perfumery was born and sustained. I don't know if saying NR moved me is quite accurate, but it definitely planted the seeds for a passion that still brings me to this site almost every day. The absolute brilliance (and still unparalleled) use of the the musk note here gave birth to the notion of perfumery as an art form for me. What I could smell, suddenly became what I felt, a touch, memories, promises. More. All fragrances before this smelled good, even great...but they did not take on a life of their own. I wasn't compelled by them; wasn't bewitched by any of them. I didn't understand. Now, I do. Perfumery IS art. Narciso Rodriguez for Her is a work of art. It humbles me, and YES...it moves me, just as surely as a beautiful sculpture, or well composed music. Prominent notes: --Musk --Artistry --Invitation

My bottle looks just like this and says EDT. Hope I am in the right place. If you are on the fence about this one, try it ! This is going to become my new go to when I when I just need a safe, feminine crowd pleaser and when I want to smell like a generic 'hot' girl. This is a nice, soft gentle floral. Fresh powdery linen. Just a hint of musk but not in any type of off putting way. Smells very lady like, but edging on classic rather than dated. Maybe a bit of a different scent profile to what's popular with younger girls but that's not to say a younger woman couldn't wear this. This fragrance reminds me of a girlfriend who is just a girls girl. Would be so cute for a girls date night, or other event. A bit understated for date night, can see this one getting lost in the noise of a bar or in cold weather. Maybe one on one in an intimate setting. I'm not super girly, I love weird niche fragrances, but this is immediately going into the purse to live forever when i need to freshen up and play the part to replace my beloved Gucci Guilty bottle from 2013

This was a pleasant blind buy. Wasn't paying attention when bidding and thought i bought NR Rose Noir. I have NR Pure Musk, and I love it. I was reading the comments on this perfume before it came in the mail. Was not sure what to expect tbh. I love this one! I'm probably getting at that age this is the right perfume.. I understand it's a mature scent. Even tho I'm almost 40, i still feel like I'm in my late 20's. The perfume smells mature, but not dated. It has the NR-Dna, but this perfume feels strong, kind, warm. Black bottle fits. It's clean, confident, the type of woman who is caring, assertive and makes a statement, without being noisy. It has this kinda warm spicy fruityness to it. But fruity like plum/prune, dried Apple. I get why people love the dry down. It's musky and creamy, like a fussy warm hug. It's floral, without being loud and sharp. The opening can be a bit strong. I get this is not for everyone. I'm just happy this was a positive buy for me

Even tho i haven’t smelled it until i turned 13 and no one im pretty sure no one wore it in my family before But it just smells like the most nostalgic memories when i was 3-6 Years old [I remember a tremendous amount of memories literally everything happened in my childhood] The sensuality and warmth of the musk here needs to be studied at schools No soapy clean musk its way more complicated So many layers Strong Skin Musk Dusty mature amber Cashmeran background Powdery Sandalwoody feel Some earthiness from the vetiver and patchouli And so much orange blossom ofc The way it sticks to the skin for houurss and clothes for dayyss is incredible The way it lingers in the air powerfully is amazing It leaves a dusty powdery musky ambery skin like trail and has an outstanding projection Full of affection and warmth i loveee ittt !!!!!!

One of my all-time favorites. It's powdery and floral, with a beautiful musky base that gives it depth and character without ever feeling heavy. It has a slightly dry quality that I love, keeping it refined and sophisticated rather than sweet or girly. To me, it almost feels like it takes inspiration from a unisex fragrance, but remains unmistakably feminine in a very clean, elegant, and subtly sexy way. It's the kind of scent that feels effortlessly put together rather than overtly seductive, yet it still has a quietly alluring, warm quality. Some people dismiss it because it's so popular, but popularity doesn't make a fragrance tacky. For Her is popular for a good reason: it's elegant, versatile, timeless, and incredibly easy to wear. Clean, polished, feminine, and warmly seductive, it's a fragrance I never get tired of.

I love musks. I, a gen-x'er, never knew this until about three years ago when I picked up a bottle of SJP Lovely on clearance to just try it, and perfume wise, I had an awakening! Narciso Rodrigues For Her edt is very similar. When I first tried it, it was sharp and screechy. But I've had my bottle for about a year now and she's softened up. Absolutely beautiful! I do have to laugh at all the people who call this kind of musk "mean girl" and "b*tch" perfumes - I do not have that history with these scents. In fact, I don't have really any memory of anyone I knew wearing perfumes in high school. I was very much grungy and I know of one friend who wore patchouli - and that was it. To me, these musks are delightful, relaxing, clean. But if this one is screechy at first - let it sit and go back.

This is 80% comfort and 20% skank - and I mean that with the utmost respect! It’s a very comforting, sensual perfume, but there’s also a subtle darkness underneath that gives it a bit of an edge. I definitely don't think this is a safe blind buy, the musk in this isn’t clean - it's slightly animalic, even a bit human-like. Which might sound gross, but somehow it just works. The first time I smelled this, I wasn’t sure if I was in love or repelled. Turns out I’m in love - skank and all. Edit 02/08 I find that the funkiness completely disappears by the deep dry down, and what is left is a beautiful, feminine, sensual musk which is very similar to the EDP. Also, my husband went absolutely crazy for this! He described it as 'sexy, alluring, romantic, caring, sensual, soft, safe'.

I love this one sooo very much. That musk, amber, vetiver, white floral and vanilla concoction is just divine in this perfume. It is a floral lover’s paradise. As soon as you spray it you’re greeted with the most powdery and beautiful florals. It feels like layers, and layers and layers of flowers are tickling my nose in the most pleasant way. Narciso Rodriguez for Her is one of the prettiest floral perfumes that I own and definitely my favorite white floral scent to wear. It’s the type of scent I wanna smell like all night long. It’s feminine, sexy, playful, intimate, and just absolutely beautiful. I’m actually surprised it has lasted in my collection as long as it has. Whenever I reach for Narciso Rodriguez for Her, she never disappoints.

Oh God inject this into my veins. I love it. Grabbed one of these bottles recently due to Love Story on Hulu and the reawakened Carolyn Bessette Kennedy craze. This was supposed to be created for her or inspired by her. Whatever the case I wanted to smell what a sophisticated, classy, elegant stylish woman like Carolyn smelled like. Oh I can see that she was that girl. It is divine. It’s so good the only thing is idk if it’s my nose but I can’t smell it on me anymore like I did the first couple of days. I want to bathe in it because of this but others can smell it so I will just have to get my hit with those first sprays. I don’t want to overspray and ruin the mystery because that wouldn’t be something Carolyn would do. ;)
