Narciso Rodriguez L'Eau For Her

Picked this up at the duty free shop in Madrid yesterday. As I strolled past the display of NR scents I decided to spritz this one onto a strip. Got a strong "green/chypre" smell immediately, which didn't grab me initally. I rubbed the strip on my arm and then proceeded on to check out some other scents. After finding nothing I couldn't live without, I happened to brush my hair out of my face and caught a whiff of what I had rubbed on my arm earlier. Wow! The chypre smell was still there, but now I smelled alot more floral - lily of the valley, rose, jasmine, peony - with maybe a very delicate hint of something secretive and musky hiding in the background. It tantalized me enough to decide to quickly purchase a bottle before boarding my flight. 12 hours later I arrived home exhausted and was ready for bed - but not before quickly opening my little "treasure" and spritzing it on to see if was the same lovely scent I remembered. Just as before, the inital wave was a strong fresh, green/chypre scent. By the time I got in bed it had once again toned down and those gorgeous floral scents were coming through. I fell asleep immediately and dreamed of wandering in an exotic garden paradise filled with lush greenery and fresh, crisp flowers. Everytime I would roll over the scent would envelop me again. By the time I awakened hours later, the scent was much fainter, but definitely still there. Only now the green was more in the background and the romantic florals were taking center stage in a still fresh, yet lighter, slightly powdery fashion. Put some more on and wore it the rest of the day. The man behind me in the bank remarked on how nice I smelled. My husband - who never notices any scent I wear - asked what I was wearing. I am VERY happy that I decided to pick this bottle up. To me it is absolutely the perfect scent for announcing the beginning of spring and will carry over well into the summer. It is light - yet heavy with freshness, if that makes any sense. It has a slow sensuality that sneaks up and suprises you. I think it's got the flexibility of being able to be worn casually while out with friends or on a romantic date. Love it! Can't stop smelling my arm! The only downside is that I foresee this one becoming pretty popular - and then I will no longer be the only one around here who smells this nice!

I had Guerlain's Idylle for a few months prior to owning this one. I loved the way Idylle smelled, for the most part, but there was a pungent note in it that I couldn't tolerate. The lily and rose were so strong and lovely, but, to me, they were overpowered by a smell reminiscent of cheap white wine. I really hate wine, and it ruined the entire perfume for me. I ended up selling my bottle. Before I purchased L'Eau for Her, I had read about it, and I wasn't sure if it would actually smell like Idylle or not. I was worried it would have that note, but it is everything good about Idylle without the grating wine note. The lily and rose and musky sensuality of it. The heart of it smells almost identical, if anything it is smoother and creamier. Also, Idylle's rose note is more prominent than the rose in L'Eau for Her. The lily is definitely the strongest (by far!) for me here. With the first few sprays, there is a tart cyclamen smell mingled with loads of lily and hints of jasmine. I get a pretty noticeable rose note and patchouli for the first few minutes. The peony is just a whisper. Once the floral rush fades, it dries down to smell like a lily version of Narciso for Her. The sharper edges disappear, the notes of the cyclamen, patchouli, rose, and peony, and it becomes a simple, creamy lily musk with a bit of jasmine. Very beautiful, elegant, feminine, and lovely. More like this one, please.

This is a scent that grows, sparkles on you. First impression is like a big, fresh, strong smelling flower bouquet with some dew on the petals (I feel the cyclamen and the peony with some aquatic notes). The jasmine is quite similar to the one I found in Alien by T.Mugler. First you see that amazing bouquet as a whole universe, but then you start to distinguish every flower, the nuances, the shades, the notes. A wonderful amber rose, well rounded patchouli and musk gives the sensation of a warm, uplifting and very feminine scent. The-Lilly-of-the Valley is well balanced- not sickly sweet, but realistic, fresh and sophisticated. Like the first little, white flower bells opening in May under the protecting branches of the trees. Because of that the scent becomes slightly woody, but there's no wood notes at all. The spring in a forest. It reminds the Narciso Rodriguez in the black bottle, but just reminds. This one is more floral, less musky, more feminine, more romantic. Expensive, unique, not for every woman. Won't be lost in the crowd. Update: The staying power is amazing. The scent has survived even after a shower gel. Stunning!

With everyone looking forward to spring, I'm always surprised this doesn't get mentioned more! It is my absolute most favorite spring fragrance! I love the Narciso Rodriguez for Her eau de toilette, and bought this on an impulse several years ago. I will repurchase this as long as they keep making it...it's back up bottle worthy for me. The peony is the most prominent note, along with LOTV. The musk reads quite clean on my skin. The scent is utterly feminine and strongly so! It delicate and nuanced, but I wouldn't call it soft. It most definitely has "presence", similar to other Narciso offerings. I can understand how some might describe this as "cold". It most certainly has a frostiness to it: it truly smells like sniffing the first spring flowers on a cold, rainy, and overcast day. This is how I would best describe it: imagine walking in a slow drizzle on a cold spring day carrying a bouquet of peonies and LOTV, all while wearing your work best and a crisp trenchcoat. If you're a fan of NR fragrances and are looking to switch it up for spring, I'd totally recommend it!

I've been reading some bad reviews here as I blindbuy this perfume. I got scared, for some ppl saying that they detected a fecal note on it (wtf). But when it arrives, Oh. My. Gosh. This is one of those beautiful high-quality floral perfume I've ever smelled. It's warm, but not cloying, and the musk is definitely there, a level beneath the flowers. The peony and LOTV (maybe a bit of Jasmine) smells so sophisticated and feminine, where the musk lingered, giving it a sexy edge to it. I imagine someone like Kendall Jenner, sophisticated, confident, wearing casual white blouse with tight fitted jeans and an ankle length black leather boots, wearing this perfume walking around the city minding her own business, lost in her own thoughts, unaware how ppl look and stare at her because she's so attractive. This will be my new favorite scent, that's for sure! For an edt, it smells potent (not cloying) as if it is an edp. I'm so happy with my purchase and would definitely try other narciso lines!!

It starts bitter fresh, youthfull and water nymph-like. Unfortunately after 5 minuits it turns into some fecal note (although not always! and I stop smelling it eventually, but some people here confirm it so I 'm not totally wrong). I guess it's the heavily indolic lilly of the valey combined with patchouli and/or musks... The drydown is very musky, creamy and sexy, but this one note... too bad, I wanted to give it a chance because I love the original edp & edt. I will continue the tests though. So it's a kind of dirty-fresh smell. For a young woman or a girl. Definitely it's a spring - summer fragrance. edit- got myself a full 100ml bottle. I dont get the dirty notes anymore. Its longer lasting and more powerfull than NR EDP and EDT alltogether.

This is really a nice fresh scent for spring. It starts out rosy and pink, but a beautiful lily of the valley starts to appear in the heart. It remains bright and isn’t weighed down by the likes of patchouli or woody notes (although patch is listed in the pyramid, I don’t detect any). Clean and demure. It’s not as musky as many of his other creations and is more green too. This would be nice for a teen’s first fragrance or something easy to grab for anybody who desires a fragrance that is delicate, feminine and pleasant. I think it would be a compliment-getter if anyone leans in for a hug. Sillage is low but probably would be higher with a few more sprays. I tend to only spray my wrists once.

I’m a huge fan of Narciso Rodriguez fragrances; currently I own For Her EDT and EDP, Fleur Musc and Narciso Rouge. They’re all very beautiful and wearable, quite similar, yet each one has something particular and magical about them. This version For Her L’Eau is still available at my local Sephora, although it was launched five years ago; so hopefully it is now a permanent addition to the line. In comparison to other NR fragrances, L’Eau is the one with the most prominent musky components; it’s a very sensual, creamy musk. Amongst the floral notes, the one that stands out for me is lily-of-the-valley, together with peony and rose. It’s a safe blind-buy and a guaranteed compliment-getter.

L'eau is such a youthful and flirtatious fragrance full of indolic accords of jasmine, lilly-of-the valley and peony. Subversive innocence; cheeky to the point of indecency and yet, well-bred and beautiful. Caramelized musk that is just sweet enough not to be sugary; deliciously feminine but not witnout an edge ( patchouli in play here, indeed). Sensuous and ravishing, not a quiet smell at all, actually quite a powerful one that makes you feel like " the world is your oyster, girl". In spring, in summer, in every season enjoy yourself! Big Love from me!!

This was a lily of the valley blast to my nose, with the softest and beautiful freshly picked flowers. Not too overwhelming, but soft and delicate and very feminine. It stays close to the skin, while it's developing with the musk and powdery rose in the dry down. This scent is very innocent, clean, and airy. The longevity is poor and the sillage is weak, but this fragrance is worth to be reapply often, just to get the so-authentic lily of the valley scent in my nostrils! To me, this is very different from any to the other NR For Her creations.

I like but cannot stand roses on me. I had Idylle and gave it away. This one though, excellently balanced, not too sweet, not too flowery, not too dry or musky. For Her edp was not for me (too sweet and cloying) but this one is beautiful and unusual. Bought without second thoughts. Edited to add: for me, it's better during hot weather because the strong rose scent dissipates soon after application and just compliments the rest of the notes. When I wore it in an air-conditioned room the roses where overwhelming.

No matter how much i tried and tried - I did not like any of Narciso Rodriguez edp and edt except for L'eau. L'eau is different and I don't understand girls and guys how you compare it with the other Narciso perfumes. I simply smell no similarity. I would say it resembles more Allure Sensuelle by Chanel. It is light but long lasting - I wake up enveloped by the soft powder and musk and something green. Lovely. I wish I could describe it better. It is sad that the best Narciso perfume is a limited edition...

Recent purchase :) ... In retrospective, Ive always wanted to own Narciso Rodriguez for her since it came out, but never got my hands around it. A lot of years has passed, and just recently I discover this L eau version, and its amazing!!!! First of all, always though the original was too musky and heavy, but this is a perfect version, its not too strong and more flowery. Totally recommended!!!!, today I wore it and its fantastic...its even better on than sniffed on the bottle.

I` m really falling in love with this one. It took me a while to really appreciate soft elegance it represents. Lily-of-the-valley , musky and rose in very well blended and super feminine scent. Its so soft and fluffy as a cloud. Subtle, clean, innocent and sexy in its own shy kind of way. I bought this one at a sale and almost swapped it away... Im glad I kept it. Will enjoy it untill last drop. Silage and longevity is about average on my skin. Sadly its discontinued...

This is quite stunning, exquisite really. It's very bright, a little sweet and so very classy. This leaves a beautiful scent trail and it's one of those fragrances that are timeless. It's just elegant and for any young or older woman. This is the kind of scent I could picture still lingering in my mother's bathroom after I had woken up, and found she had gone out for the day. It's the scent of a confident woman.

If you can get your hands on this one, buy it! This is one of my favourites of the entire Narciso catalogue. It's so fresh, airy, feminine, musky, I think this is truly an angelic fragrance. It has a lighter scent profile than the original For Her, but that doesn't mean it's weak. This is long lasting, it leaves an addictive, gorgeous scent trail. It's one of the only fragrances I have ever repurchased.

This is one of my ALL time favorite fragrances. It has been discontinued so I've been babying my bottle like it's a rare jewel. I have yet to find anything that fills it's spot on my shelf. It's a fresh floral fragrance that is a little sweet and sharp when first sprayed but dries down to a beautiful white floral with a hint of rose and musk but still has a green freshness to it.

This was the first Narciso perfume I have tried. For me it’s the best one (+ the black cube). If I can describe it - it’s classy & innocent, the longevity was only 2-3 hours max but I’m so sad it’s discontinued. It was a gem and I cannot understand how they could discontinue this one and keep the pink one which to me is very generic & boring.

This is a lovely summery scent, I do love NR for Her but since I am having this I realised this one suits my skin better. It is really smooth but still characteristic, feels really elegant wearing it. Lovely fresh cut rose and lily with a hint of juicy fruit and just the right amount of musk to make it a proper adult scent.

It smells very nice. It's a completely different scent. Reminds me of a fresh, juicy ripe peach. you can really smell the lily of the valley, peony and jasmine. This is not so much the first love you had with for her, its the younger daughter, so you're probably not gonna switch if you love the classics. Love it though.

On initial spray this was EXACTLY like guerlain idylle sublime. They both have this some kind of dry smokiness (but not the cigarette kind) I can't explain. But where the smokiness in idylle sublime lasts even through the dry down, it gradually subsides in narciso l'eau.

Well composed, flirtatious, youthful but not childish, something warm and spicy underneath it all. It's very suitable for the spring and early summer, fresh and reinvigorating with a spring bouquet. Very beautiful. 8/10

Love at first sniff! It is so smooth,lovely, soft, feminine creamy floral scent, less musky than previous version (EDP). I think of smooth blush silky scarf, something that every women should wear, so beautiful <3

A lighter version of the EDT edition, this is a very pretty, light and fluffy fragrance. It has a fresh muskiness about it, such a pleasant fragrance. Very feminine. Absolutely gorgeous. Thumbs up for this one.

i've smelled it in stores, i've tested the fragrance and now i'm kissing the bottle out of sheer happiness :) The rosy/musky scent is so totally me. Just like Romance from Ralph Lauren.

I am new to this line and had sampled Her at Ulta one day and did not like it. I had already ordered the L'eau sample but when I got it, I loved it! Definitely one of my favorites now!

Soft, creamy, very powdery and fresh. Clean This is so SO pretty. It smells very nice. elegance in a bottle. something that every women should wear, so beautiful Love it though.

This is a soft and feminine fragrance. To me it constantly smells light from the first spray till it settles to the skin, and it will stay there forever!

I get intoxicated in the beauty of this scent when I wear it! LOVE it!

Masterpiece of femininity. It drives me to distraction it's so lovely.

So femenine. It is all about flowers and yet, not boring at all.

It's so beautiful, i love it, but it doesn't last.

I was going on vaccation to Spain and wanted something very light and airy - barely there. I usually use Molecule 02 or 01 from Escentric Molecule, but I wanted something slightly more "perfumey" for summer. You can then maybe imagine that I prefer almost undetectable perfumes. This is perfect, and I love it, and SO loves it (he commented on this so many times, but he doesn't usually care for perfume!), and I can't imagine anyone being offended by it - I think it's definitely office-friendly! Right after application, it's quite strong though, like all perfumes. It's fresh, very light - indeed barely there, clean, musky flowers (mainly a fragile lily of the valley, but I sometimes also get), very slightly aquatic (cyclamen) and mildly sweet (amber-patchouli). As the lily of the valley-smell can't be extracted, but needs to be blended together from other things, I'm impressed - this is a good interpretation if it. The drydown is lightly musky, creamy woods, with a tiny sour note (I assume from gardenia, on my skin), which is amplified a little bit on my clothes. This leaves the room smelling great forever! It's super-light, but it lasts for a long time on me: at least 7 hours, but I think it might be even longer. Mild sillage, but good longevity. Can see this being great for both summer and winter - I'm really looking forward to using this in the winter! I don't regret this in-the-moment purchase at the airport (I had only tried it once before, but it really caught my attention) :) I bought 100 mL of the L'eau and got 10 mL of the hair perfume with it, which smells closer to the EDT, as it's a bit sweeter than the L'eau, and have stronger woody notes. The L'eau makes a great first impression - I would (and will) definitely wear it to interviews. It's uncomplicated, light, friendly and innoscent, very feminine, in a modern way - it could easily be worn by a bride on her wedding day. I had been wanting this for a few weeks now. I was thinking to get either this or the intense version, as the EDP and EDT are... I think, a little sweet and waxy for me. I went with this, as the Intense one (which is in no way intense) is more medicinal, smoky and soapy, though I'm still very facinated by it, and probably going to get it at some point too, as it is too a skin-like, light, clean, but cozy perfume Update: in holder weather, I can smell a tiiiiiiiny bit of mint and ylang-ylang in this - so interesting, especially because it's not in the list of ingredients!

I know most people who have this aren't going to like this review. I don't mind because i'm just sharing my opinion through my experience. The mini i have,as part of a gift set i purchased,smells fecal right out of the splash bottle. I splashed it on paper with same results. Splashed a lil on my wrist,waited 4 hours with no change then showered. All i detected was an awful blend of dirty musk and patchouli. I've since then left this one alone which was in January wondering if i was having an off day with chemistry or my own sense of smell. Mind you i had already owned the large bottles of NR edp & edt,both of which i love at home. I was out of town and not thrilled with the random samples i threw in my carry on so i bought this knowing i already loved half of the bottles in this gift box of minis. I proceeded wearing the edp and edt bottles and they smelled the same as what i experienced at home. The other day i went to Macy's and sprayed a card at the counter and threw it in my shopping bag just to see what my thoughts were out of the large spray bottle. It was a light form of the edt but missing the extras with a little twist. Not bad like the experience i had in the hotel. So i went home and decanted what i could of my lil splash bottle into a fresh spray vial and gave it a try after a shower. It was still fecal as i remembered. I stuck with it and over two hours later the heavy musk/patchouli mixture faded a bit and revealed the lotv everyone is mentioning in the reviews. It turned from dirty to clean finally. I'm wondering if my little bottle was just a batch that had so much more musk in it than usual. Weird experience. I'll stick to the original edp and edt for now on over this.

Well first there aren't fruits in NR l' Eau, so it doesn't smell anything like peach. It is a floral scent on a musky base,pretty much dominated by the rose, I personally didn't find it fresh, or even very interesting. It is lighter than the original, but upon first sniff you wouldn't think of the original at all. It is simply a musky floral, not very different, only in the drydown does the scent open up a bit and I could recognize some aspect of the original, but overall I am not impressed by it, I wasn't a fan of the original, and l' Eau isn't that much better in my views. It is similar to lots of scents out there.

Gorgeously light, fresh, aquatic lily of the valley scent. I was gifted some samples today by a lovely colleague and this is my pick of the bunch. This is juicy and wet but fresh, it's invigorating and I can easily imagine wearing this to the mountains on an icy winter's day. I wouldn't be unhappy to smell like this - I don't get the similarity to Idylle, though. That one is far headier and sharper to my nose, whereas this ones dances in a delightfully light and circular way on my skin. Actually, I would put this more in line with L'Eau d' Issey for freshness and vibe. Delightful lilies!

This one is lovely. When I first spray it on, I get a strong fecal note (!!!) so beware! It's pretty horrifying at this point. But don't panic, it goes away quickly, and the blossoms start coming soon. I smell the lily of the valley, which mixed with the rose and other floral notes almost smells like an orange blossom. It's all very sweetly musky and delicate - feminine and soft, but not too clean. I like it. I find it more approachable than the original, which is a little too heavy on the musk for me. And it lasts fairly well for an EDT. BIG plus: got it for $9.99 at TJMaxx!!!

Im totaly anosmic to this - so funny, it never happened to me until I tried this (and I have already tried about thousand scents so far..). Since I love NR and I loved this bottle especially, I really wanted to like this but I smell NOTHING at all..like water, really nothing, no matter how much I spray. I tried several bottles...but I do smell other NR parfumes really good and strongly and they are all actually similar so I dont understand why this happen to me with this one

I still have at least 50 mL, and today I finally found something for those who want this: please try out Dior Rose n' Roses! It's not AS aquatic, but it really is 95% similar to this :) Why people compare it to Idylle, I have no clue...! I have smelt almost every single one of the perfumes in the "similar to" section, and NONE of them are even close to this, but Rose n' Roses is similar once the top notes have gone!

Sillage is strong to start off with due to the intense aquatic, high-pitched sugar rush that is the lily of the valley & peony (I initially thought it was melon or pineapple). My first impression was that it seemed aquatic. Sillage fades with the aforementioned lily. Dries down to sweet, rosy, musky, amber patchouli mishmash. Very pleasant indeed, longevity is not great though. Solid like, but it doesn't thrill me.

This is a pretty summer version of NR for her. It's likeable....reminds me of Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely but with a prominent Lilly of the valley dry down that I wasn't crazy about. If you already have Lovely and/or you're not much of a Lily of the valley fan, you won't need this. Again, It's nice enough but not worth the price tag in my opinion. I wouldn't mind receiving it as a gift though.

Yes, there is a prominent lily which can be easily detected, but L'Eau has still the spirit of the original NR (EDP). Its a softer, smoother version of original NR with a lily-of-the-valley note added to the composition. Personally I am not much into the lily note, but I would consider to buy a full bottle for myself one day. I really love the simplicity and colors of the NR bottles..

When i first tried it, in summer, it seemed a bit much. But now in our frigid canadian winter , I love it! The notes amplify, yet it remains fresh, floral, Beaufiful!! I love it!! I found the black and pink NR too musty dry for me, but l' Eau is wonderful..warm, smooth, beautiful creamy floral..I had Idylle and yes they might be a tad similar, but not so much in my opinion..

It is a sparkling, joyful springtime scent. Carefree, light and longlasting. Reminds me of the dewy flowers, of walking barefoot on grass. Lily of the valley is present from the very start. So is a beautiful rose. They are not in full bloom yet. Peony adds to some crispiness and musk is creamy, round. Overall a modern romantic perfume. Shame it is a limited version

This is quite beautiful. I agree that it is similar to Idylle in the sense that it is truly a floral forward musc, as compared to others in the For Her line which lead with citrus. There is a hint of an animalic/indolic quality in the drydown when I put my nose close to my skin, but from afar, it is a fluffy sweet feminine scent.

The most innocent, angelic, lovely and gentle of them all! Perfectly feminine, comforting, clean but in a warm and soft way like a puff of cotton. Smoothly blended, makes me think of a sweet, kind - hearted person who is very appealing with their sincerity. None of sex appeal that NR for her or L'absolu pack.

Very fresh rose and not too sweet or boring. I got this in a mini coz I bought a full bottle of For Her EDT. I never thought rose could be this refreshing yet feminine and chic. I may purchase a full bottle once my minis are gone.

first impulse is strong Lily but about 10 minutes sitting on the skin and become one of them most beautiful feminine musky sweet peony scent apply. I love this one too like i love the EDP For her,,,,,,,,

Great juice, summery light jasmine with moderate sillage. Like an expensive silk scarf wrapping you while you wear it. BUT, longevity on my skin is 2 hours max... A shame.

"I love your skin oh so white I love your touch cold as ice" Yes, she is the ice queen, so cold and beautiful. I wish it didn't melt that quick...
