Narciso Rouge

From this brand I have For Her EDT, For Her Musk EDP Intense, Essence Eau de Musk, Narciso EDP, Narciso Poudre and this one and I had always thought this one is of my least favorites. I don't know what was wrong with me because this is gorgeous! Having too many perfumes in your collection has it's huge cons. you don't give enough time to each one, you don't get to live with most of your perfumes so sometimes some beauties get overlooked. I'm guilty of buying some perfumes mainly because I had their sister perfumes and loved to see their bottles to sit in a row. Narciso Rouge was one of them. I really like these cube bottles and this one came in such a pretty red color. I love Narciso EDP and Narciso Poudre so I hoped I'd like this one too. the first time I tried it, I felt meh. not bad but not as good as it's white and Poudre sister. it reminded me of Narciso EDT more than others. rose, musk and woods. I thought I'll revisit it later to see if other notes showup. fast forward five years, that later day is today. the other notes do showup and this settles down to something absolutely beautiful. This perfume is far from being linear on me. It opens with rose, some sweet musk and a good dose of woody bitterness. the opening felt a bit dated, a bit too mature and a bit too rosey for me.still a meh. but after a few minutes it surprises me with a very gorgeous iris note which starts to bloom and steal the show from rose. I have a love/hate relationship with iris and it's a love here. it's not an overly dusty, overly earthy iris.it's a bit waxy but not too much. I can also detect tonka in this stage which I believe is usually a great companion for iris. The drydown is a blend of powdery flowers, mostly iris, also violet eventhough it's not among the notes and a touch of rose in a creamy base of woodsy vanilla and Narciso line's signature musk which is neither overly clean and sterile nor too animalic and dirty. this stage is what lasts for hours and I can't get enough of it. I don't find it overly musky. it's mostly powdery floral in a creamy base but not a chalky type of powdery. it's like a soft, fluffy powdeyness. it reminds me of vintage makeup, mainly lipstick and face powder but at the same time, it feels kind of modern and it smells so luxurious and expensive. so sensual in a classy and ladylike way. so good! I'm 33 and I don't find this scent too old or too young for me. it's like an ageless modern classic. I highly recommend you to give this one enough time to settle down on your skin. BTW like others in Narciso line I always feel as if it doesn't have much sillage and is mostly a skin scent but other's complements proves me wrong. also when I feel it's almost gone, I catch a sudden heavenly waft of it. من همیشه فک میکردم تو عطرهای خانواده نارسیسو، این یکی از مواردیه که کمتر از بقیه دوسش دارم. نارسیسو ادوپرفیوم(سفیده) و نارسیسو پودر رو تو لاین مکعبی بیشتر از بقیه دوس داشتم و حس میکردم رژ بیشتر از همه شبیه نارسیسو ادوتویلت (مکعب مشکی رنگه) اما اشتباه میکردم. الان که بالاخره بهش وقت دادم متوجه شدم اینم خیلی عالیه. این عطر اصلا خطی نیست. شروعش ترکیبیه از رز، مشک شیرین و تلخی محسوس نتهای چوبی.از این مرحله زیاد خوشم نیومد و حس میکردم یکم زیادی رزی و قدیمی طوره و سن عطر بالاست.اما بعد از چند دقیقه سروکله زنبق دست در دست تونکا پیدا میشه و رز رو میزنه کنار. خوشبختانه زنبق حالت خاکی نداره. یکم وکسیه اما نه خیلی و درکل یکی از زیباترین حالات زنبقه بنظرم. درای داون که چیزیه که تا ساعتها رو پوست من میمونه ترکیبی از رایحه پودری گلهاست(عمدتا زنبق و یکمم بنفشه هرچند بین نتها نیست، یکمم رز و درحد خیلی جزیی گلهای سفید) تو یه بستر خامه ای از وانیل و چوب و مشک مخصوص لاین نارسیسو که نه خیلی تمیز و استریله نه خیلی کثیف و انیمالیک..واسه من یادآور لوازم آرایش وینتیج و قدیمیه(عمدتا رژلب و پودر صورت) اما درعین حال،حال و هوای مدرنی هم داره. پودری بودنش مثل گچ یا خاک نیست.سافت و سبکه و پنبه ایه و رایحه کلی یه رایحه خیلی جذاب و لوکس و باکلاس و گرون قیمت طوره که بالغه اما به هیچوجه پیر نیست. توصیه میکنم اشتباه اولیه من رو نکنید و حتما به نارسیسو روژ رو پوستتون زمان بدید. ضمنا مثل بقیه عطرهای لاین نارسیسو حس میکردم پخش چندانی نداره اما نظرات دیگران باعث شد متوجه شم اشتباه میکردم. وقتیم فک میکنم تقریبا محو شده یهو با تکون خوردنم، بوش اطرافم میپیچه. کلا عاشق لاین نارسیسوی این برندم

NARCISO RODRIGUEZ 🤍 Narciso Poudrée 🤍 Aurelien Guichard 2016 ❤️ Narciso Rouge ❤️ Nadege le Garlantezec and Sonia Constant 2018 I fell in love totally with these cubes (Narciso line) - brands cozy, soft and subtle yet rich perfumes with NR’s signature musk, like the delicate and more simple clean musk scents as well from “for her” line. These minimalistic bottles are simply beautiful. 🤍 Poudrée opens up with a powdery opulent floral bouquet of white Jasmine and Bulgarian Rose and it’s velvety smooth musky heart makes it so fluffy. It’s creamy, mellow, sensual and it’s clean and cozy in the same time. Poudrée is not fresh and airy like perfumes in “for her” line. It feels that it’s close to the skin but after smelling the clothes next day you notice that the scent it’s persistent and long lasting. The scent has woody base with Vetiver and Cedar. You can’t separate Vetiver here anyway. ❤️ Unfortunately discontinued Rouge is a little bit more powerful and Iris brings a different kind of powdery feeling to it. It’s deeper, lipsticky like, even a little bit plasticy, yet Bulgarian Rose keeps it still very soft, feminine and warm. The concoction is still smooth, fluffy and creamy yet the overall feeling is woodier. The colours of the bottles indicate perfectly the character of the scent. ➡️ These scents are not like “Rosy”, “White floral” or “Iris” scents like you may think. Both are pretty scents, I like them a lot but the flowers are not like I have used to experience them - in natural way. Scents can be as well cloying especially in hot weather. I have noticed that it’s better not to spray them straight away under the nose or sniff them close to the skin, the moderate sillage lingering in the air is very attractive and indulgent though. Imo Rouge and Poudrée are the most gorgeous on clothes. The smell is irresistible and addictive. People seem to find Vanilla accord from Rouge but I don’t agree. It’s rather that cozy soft slightly sweet feeling in the dry down. Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful. I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG and/or YouTube (English subtitles): @ninamariahperfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more. 🤗

Where do I begin?? This is the fragrance I reach for if ever I'm feeling anxious or need some encouragement, when I'm getting cozy, going to bed, or need a little pick-me-up throughout the day. I wear this in the daytime, and I wear it at night...when it rains, and when it shines (though it does feel a bit more special when worn on a cooler, cloudy/rainy day)! Something about Narciso Rouge is just so comforting, so lovely - but with a pinch of sensuality - and I can't. Stop. Craving it. I see people comparing this to a makeup scent, but I feel like that's a very common general description of fragrances containing powdery notes and in reality, Narciso Rouge is so much more than that. The opening is a bit sharp but I honestly really enjoy it, and although this fragrance doesn't list any, my nose picks up on some type of fruity accord upon initial blast. Once it mellows out, it's like you're walking around in a luscious, soft cloud...surrounded by a symphony of notes that bring back fond memories, but it also feels so very "now" (if that makes sense?). This isn't a girly scent, it's womanly. I read someone's review mentioning something along the lines of this feeling like a warm hug, and yes, that's 100% accurate. But alas, it goes beyond that: it's got some sex appeal. How strange that a fragrance can make you feel both comforted and sexy at the same time! It definitely gets my serotonin flowing LOL This has definitely been my go-to in the colder months - since it's a newer addition to my collection, I have yet to wear it in the spring or summer. I can imagine this potentially feeling a bit stuffy if you live in a climate that gets hot and humid, but either way, it's worth it to give this fragrance a spin. This wasn't LOVE at first sniff, only a strong like... but then I couldn't stop thinking about it so I caved: purchased a full bottle, and the rest is history!

I love this! It's an iris, powdery, dusty, makeuppy, sweet, cozy, fluffy musk. It's the first fragrance that I have found that could just smell like "me"! I love iris in perfumes and the iris here is soft, dusty and powdery and lends a makeup bag type of scent. It reminds me a little bit of insolence with the violet/iris/powdery nature, but much more polite. I only get the rose note when I apply to my inner elbow, I think this is because the skin there is probably less dry and stays warmer and had less air exposure so the rose note remains more prominent. I also find this to be the case with the rose note in the white cube Narciso. It also reminds me of those tiny pastel alphabet sweeties, or love hearts with a powdered sugar note, but it's not intensely sweet. The musk is soft and gorgeous, it could just be the neck of a cosy fluffy jumper someone has just taken off, it smells soft, warm, familiar and inviting, but I wouldn't say it's sexy and sensual like other Narciso scents. I wish it had more projection and longevity as I find I either go anosmic quickly to this or it has poor longevity and sillage, I would need to reapply every 3/4 hours to make it last and project. I think it's so comforting and familiar to me because I loved Insolence in my youth when it first came out and this is similar but more grown up and much calmer. It's good for cooler weather and I'm really gutted it's discontinued. I will get some backup bottles. As compared to Poudree and the original white cube, I do find them to be very distinct and separate fragrances. White cube is sensual, sharp and creamy. Poudree has more of a baby powder note and it's less makeuppy, but more floral and reminds me of Dior HP. I have the Narciso Rouge Eau de Toilette and they are very similar, the EDT is a touch more fresh but very much in the same style.

I have been crazy about this for the last few days and haven’t worn anything else ,It does resemble the poudre ( pink beige )cube the most out of all the Narcissos , and the Poudre is indeed one of my favourites of the line. However this is different from poudre and it’s well worth getting Rouge even if you own the other cubes , they all smell quite differnt , just have a similar feel and undertone. I adore the colour and the cube. Doesn’t get much better ! Very sexy,modern look , like nailpoilish , my favorite cube yet. Now to the smell of Rouge. It’s very boudoir! It’s a lipstick rose (FM) but better yet. Very sexy and like nettoyant below mentioned it is rather industrial and modern , yet I find it has a definite vintage edge ! The vintage make up budoir touch May be what turns off some people but is also what some love. I have heard comment like ;this is the best smell in the world to. ; i never want to smell this again. to ; it simply smells like a nice bodylotion. I haven’t thought about it suiting the heat but I think it does well in the heat as I think it would do great in the winter as a snuggle scent. It is rather fluffy and creamy , I see the Narciso quality come to shine again ,,, It is woody , powdery and very musky. And as some say , It resembles Hypnotic poison ! Very interesting I find that Narciso does not use the same perfumer for his fragrances. This perfume was created by Sonia Constant which only created fleur de musc in his line . Wearing this daily , completely addicted to it. I love ❤️ the creamy fluffy musky and airy sweet smell. Masterpiece !
