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 !

I absolutely ADORE this perfume. I ADORE it!! To say it was love at first sniff is an absolute understatement. I will say, this is my first fragrance from Narciso, so I don’t have anything to compare it to... however, I’m crazy for it!! I am having a really difficult time understanding why it was discontinued!! To me, it smells like lipstick. I know people say it has a lipsticky smell, but it smells like straight lipstick to me (in the best way possible). I absolutely adore this fragrance! Personally, I find it to be very versatile. I can see why some people classify it as sexy. Not sexy in a way where it should be exclusively reserved for date night, but I can see with a tight dress how it would perfectly fit the vibe. But I can also see it on a classy lady just out and about living her life!! I aspire to be that classy lady...! I can also see myself getting a whiff of this while hugging my grandmother, but that isn’t meant as a slant. It’s not so much about giving older-person vibes, it’s more giving... “there’s no way you could be this rich until this age” kind of vibes. Does that make sense? It’s giving class... it’s giving wealth! It’s a fragrance that makes me feel... elite! Elite for my age (30). Anywho, that’s my take! I do not have a trained nose nor do I claim to, so I’m not going to get into the notes... all I know is the way it makes me feel, and the emotions the scent evokes!! I think anyone at any age can pull this off, with the right confidence!

I’d been lusting after Narciso Rouge ever since it was first announced; and as soon as I got my arse to London, I grabbed a 50ml bottle for under 50 quid. Here’s my preliminary review, and I might update it after I’ve worn Rouge for a few more weeks. Although the scarlet red bottle and the official press release might suggest that this is a strong rose-centred fragrance, it is not! Rather, a soft powdery violet is the main protagonist here, alongside the beautiful NR musk. In that sense, it is a clear descendant of the Narciso line (in cubical bottles) - probably the closest to Narciso Poudree, only less sweet. The opening of Rouge is somewhat sharp and very musky (sourish-sweaty), but it quickly transforms into this creamy, powdery, violet-y musky goodness. Although it doesn’t seem to leave a powerful trail behind it, I’ve actually had people stop me to ask what I was wearing and confirmed that it’s very impactful. In particular men react extremely positively to all NR musks. This is now my fourth Narciso Rodriguez fragrance, and I can safely say that NR has established itself among the Top 5 of my favourite fragrance houses, alongside Chanel, Guerlain, Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Diptyque. Well done peeps, keep up the good work!

I really like this one. Granted she’s not as powerful or long lasting as I’d like. She has a rounded sweet iris-rose scent with a dash of lipstick and in the opening I detect something almost industrial & sharp smelling - like a whiff of freshly laid tarmac. Don’t let my description put anyone off though, it all comes together nicely once it settles. That distinctive narciso musk takes a bit of a backseat while the florals do their thing and sort of gently waft around, lingering on my skin along with the cedar wood, tonka bean & touch of vanilla in the drydown. I appreciate the way the rosey, powdery note doesn’t completely die off during the journey. Although, I wish the scent lasted longer for me. While she’s around I enjoy inhaling the fumes on my wrists and clothing and just when I think she’s disappeared, I get a welcome surprise that’s she’s still there albeit lowkey. Rouge seems to behave differently on my skin at different times. However more linear and stable on fabric sprayed. Not necessarily my favourite cube - if only because it’s a bit too gentle, but it’s a strong like. Loves go to original Narciso, For Her the EDT & Ambree. I still return to this often though and am sad she’s been discontinued.

I have both NR & NP and I couldn't decide which one to repurchase so I got the 3oz poudree since I used the 1oz in a matter of a week NR may be my favorite and I will definitely repurchase a back up bottle. I going to really compare the two and see which I love the most and i might just have to have them both in my collection at all times 1 The musk is actually nice in this and it has a powdery vibe just not as strong as the powder vibe in NP. Just like with NP this one could last a little longer. I tried not to respray to test how many hours I could smell it and I got around 5-6 hours then it was just a whaft here and there but this won't stop me from always having this in my rotation whenever I cant decide what to wear i can always reach for either NR or NP and love it all day I am curious about the rest of this House although I have heard they are very musky so I wont blind buy unless I find the white cube that one is what I want next based on reviews. Longevity 7/10 projection 8/10 silage 7/10 overall a LOVE for me just as the NP is!

This one really surprised me. I expected something in the vein of Lipstick Rose or Narciso Poudree at very least. I expected something waxy, cosmetics-like, even lipsticky... However, this reminds me mostly of Adios Pampamia Mujer La Martina edt (I like that one, though). :P It starts with a bitter irisy note, then proceeds with something slightly fresh, slightly nutty. On my skin it stays like that for an hour or so. Only after that I get some powderiness and muskiness, which could be considered powdery, cosmetics-like. It ́s nice and delicate. However, the Pampamia note is still present. In the very last stages of drydown it gets slightly sweet, but I was surprised the sweetness didn ́t come earlier on. I do love the scent, doesn ́t seem very "rouge" to me, but it ́s very pretty, not too loud, elegant :) Also, to my nose it ́s quite different from Narciso Poudree. The longevity and sillage seem to be moderate so far.

IN LOVE. One of my absolute favourite scents for every occasion but especially special occasions and important events. It's just so feminine, powdery - but mildly so, timeless, beautiful. A lot of passer-bys asked me on various occasions what perfume I'm wearing. Which is always a compliment everyone loves getting I'm sure 👌🏻 I've worn this to work a couple times and my boss fell in love with it 😆 the base/woody notes isn't overpowering at all, but is like the back bone of this scent and it really compliments the musk perfectly, the iris is amazing mixed with the Bulgarian rose so it ends up being a slightly floral powdery moment. I don't get much of the Tuberose or Orange Blossom which I don't mind. However they do pop in a little during the initial spray. But all I know is that this is going to be in my collection forever haha. I recommend this to everyone to try at least once!! 11/10 for sure.

This is my latest purchase from Narciso Rodriguez and honestly I have not yet been disappointed! I am a huge fan of Narciso EDT (the black cube) which is now sadly discontinued and folks online rate Narciso Rouge as a good replacement. Narciso EDT has a dark moodiness that is simply not found in Rouge - so it is not quite a replacement. BUT Rouge is a winner in its own right! It is a perfume you have to wear confidently yet at the same time, it gives you a confidence boost too! I think it is a more "wearable" version of Samsara - they are somehow related. Both are beautiful, sexy fragrances. One can wear this perfume all year round and it is versatile but unique. Although Narciso Rouge has been around for a number of years now, I recently found a great deal on a gift set. I am thrilled by my purchase and can't wait to buy my next NR perfume!

I've tried the cuddly scent as few times now and never managed to buy a bottle. I love it. I guess I'm used to niche and feel it's a bit mainstream. Silly really. I wear this and I immediately feel warm, cuddly and alluring. Nothing screechy or confrontational. "Mummy I want a cuddle!" It all blends together so well. The florals meld so well with the soft fluffy musky. It's not girly at all. OK, I'm going to press the button. This is one to wear on date night or meeting a possible new love. They will soon want to come in closer for a kiss or a cuddle. It might be quite commercial these days but it's still well worth having in your fragrant arsenal. Not bad sillage in this 11 degree room. Longevity above average.

I am a really big fan of narciso Rodriguez. I have tried pure musc , fluer musc, musc noir , musc noir rose , for her, and rouge . I think that’s it so far . This one is similar to poudre because it shares the same powder type scent . Not baby powder but makeup powder, fluffy body powder poufs, this one is a bit more spicy , almost peppery , the iris and rose really shine through and at first it does smell like a lot of other scents but then it settles down into the soft creamy powdery musk and it’s beautiful . I would have never liked this or poudre even just a few years ago : it’s so weird how your tastes can change so much . Poudre also smells like white florals which I don’t really get here .,

Absolutely gorgeous! I have both this one and the Poudrée version and while they are quite similar, I am still happy to have both. I'm loving this as the weather cools down as it is very comforting, while being seductive. This one opens with iris and rose which give it a more intoxicating scent than the other cubes. I love the subtle tuberose in the mid to dry down. I get the sweetness of the vanilla and tonka and everything is so perfectly blended that it is creamy and smooth and the notes do become more identifiable the more I wear it. I feel very polished, sexy and confident when I wear this. It is absolutely full bottle worthy, but not a safe blind buy. 9/10 😍❤

Narciso Rouge EDP is a fragrance that still evokes the same sense of serenity and even solemnity as the first day. It has a musk blended with iris and cedarwood that is so special, so unique, so instantly recognizable. The rose present isn't a dark, brooding rose, no...it has a certain fresh, green undertone that gives it a very dynamic, executive edge. I think it's one of the most elegant perfumes I've ever owned without being heavy or overly mystical or nocturnal; it's simply a fragrance that can be worn comfortably. But it has a distinct personality; it won't be for everyone. It was discontinued far too soon; this red cube had so many admirers...❤️

Powdery rose on a tonka-woody base. One of the few powdery scents I crave for. The powdery notes here are coming from the musk mostly, it's not a very irissy perfume in my opinion, it's warmer. Envelops you like a soft, sweet and alluring cloud that lasts all day. I wouldn't say it gives femme fatale vibes, more attractive, seductive and pulled together. I prefer this over the white cube (too woody and cold), the black edt (didn't like it at all) and the poudree. Poudree is actually very similar, but has prominent jasmine while this doesn’t and is less warm and sweet. Between the two I prefer Rouge.

Slightly sweet, creamy, warm and cosy, musky delight. Slightly "make up" dry down from the rose/iris mix, but hardly noticeable when lost in the beautifully balanced warm musk. Smells sexy and classy all at once, and I always get positive comments any time I wear this, even from strangers. One of my all time favourites. Lasts forever too, I can still smell it on my skin after 12h, and if I spray it on my hair it lasts until I next wash it. I've also made the discovery that when layered with Rochas Femme it creates something out of this world so I recommend anyone who has both to try it!

This perfume is pure perfection and seduction. It has become my signature scent over time and is one of the only perfumes I have gone back to for more. The powdery scent is my favorite, and throughout the day, when the notes grow sweeter and floral, it leaves an excellent touch that lingers on your skin until the end of the day. It is a perfume that you can rely on for any special outing or even everyday activities. It keeps me feeling so fresh, and it has a mature scent that gives you new compliments every time you wear it. Forever of the opinion that this is NR's best work!

This scent is absolutely gorgeous. I got a sample size and i can say it makes you feel like a doll; not plastic but porcelain doll. It's kind of like a makeup scent in a good way, powdery and yummy. I can't stop smelling myself with this. It screams luxury- makes you feel confident but it's still soft and comfortable. It's so pure yet sexy. Compared to poudree it definitely has more character. It'a so feminine and beautiful i just wish the sillage was better. Longevity is above average on my skin, sillage is meh. I could buy a bottle of this definitely.♡
