For Her Narciso Rodriguez 2005 Eau de Parfum

What can I say? I've been wearing the fragrance for days, sniffing at my skin, at my clothes, trying to understand why its creators were so eager to give it an annoying, almost petulant character. At first, it bites into the nose like a wild house cat (is too much osmanthus to blame?), but it settles down after just a few minutes, purring warmly and comfortably in amber and musk tones. The purring doesn't last too long on my skin, about two to three hours, and then: the cat has fallen asleep. Its heavy body now consists of patchouli, sandalwood, and still musk. This overdose of musk lingers for hours, standing out just like the claws of the cat, which still won't let go of the hunt even in sleep.
An unbalanced fragrance that jerks between fruity-floral and animalistic notes. Only vanilla tries to give it a bit of velvetiness, which it manages to do, but not for long. Eventually, musk breaks through again.
