Fluffy musk in red
I'm a big fan of the original Narciso in the white cube and still find it so sad that it got discontinued. My bottle is getting lower, so I bought Narciso Rouge as a future replacement. It also has lots of the super-creamy, clean, beautiful musk that defines the square bottled Narciso fragrances, not to be confused with the more sultry musk in the tall bottled For Her line.

The outstandig note in Rouge is a fresh and dewy red rose that mingles beautifully with the milky musk. In the drydown, the tonka gives it some light sweetness, but it‘s not the extremely sweet cherry-almond like tonka that you can find in many other perfumes, it‘s light and nice.

This fragrance smells very chic to me, but in a daytime way. It‘s versatile, suitable for work as well as most free time activities. I just wouldn‘t wear it to a party. It‘s like an uncomplicated, casual, but put-together outfit, like dark jeans with a perfecty fitted black or white top and red lipstick. No, I don‘t see this as a dramatic and passionate scent like the marketing texts say. Maybe it can be a sexy scent, but in a more understated, clean and pretty way. I also like it for more romantic looks with floral embroidery or prints.

Among its white and pink sister scents in the Narciso range, I find Rouge to be the most easygoing and uncomplicated. It‘s not as frilly and sweet as Narciso Poudré, and not as woody and thick as the white EDP. They are all lovely and all have their time and place.

Holy Iris & Syrup
Iris. Gives me the sweetness of confectionery sugar but with fluffiness of a marshmallow. The orange blossom gives just the slightest hint of syrup BUT something pulls it back from being syrupy. Soft but powerful! I think of all from this line this is the sexiest and least powdery. It’s super versatile so an easy reach all year round. The performance is all day without being overwhelming. I was looking for an iris dominant scent and they were all either too powdery or too stiff…Rouge strikes the balance well. I don’t really enjoy the style of musk in NR fragrances but this is a firm favourite!

Heavy and a bit synthetic yet beautiful
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. Both of these two are very feminine. 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.

Narciso Rouge
It smells like a powdery pink marshmallow flavored with rose water, but more womanly than it is girly.

I don't know, I bought an assortment of the Narciso Rodriguez samplers thinking I'd love them, but they're just not for me. There's something very department store about them all. Truly, madly, and deeply ...mid.

Narciso in seductive red
December is a month in which I test, buy and also give away an extremely large amount of bulk. Since, unfortunately, there are many birthdays in addition to Christmas, the cost of gifts can quickly go into the four-figure range. But that's what you work for.
The Narciso series is also no longer the clearest. A line Narciso has already earned a golden nose for. Most do not know much about the brand and only know this black EDT. I don't know much about this brand either, but I have already tested some flankers and I also own the men's version. Pretty much every year a minimal Flanker comes out, which are all qualitatively good in my opinion. However, many swear by the black EDT. Is also a timeless work of art, which fits elegantly and stylishly to many occasions.

Since I don't give the same thing every year and generally just buy the most convenient one, I chose this version from 2018. Narciso Rouge. In 30ml the bottle is so sweet. Beautiful bright red tone, beautiful lid in cute bottle. You get about 40 euros. Fair for a high-quality ladies' EdP. Also the big flacons are worth their price, no matter if the EDT, EDP or this one. Great series, which rightly has many fans.
That Rouge comes from the Narciso family is clear to smell. In the first few minutes. But at the start you can already smell where the journey is going: Sweet, powdery and a concentrated Rose-Moschus-Mix. Similar to the original, a lot of musk is used here. The opening begins with Iris. Powdery iris in combination with a beautiful rose note. Tonka stands in the base, but in my opinion is present throughout the whole process. This note turns this fragrance into a sweet fragrance, with which you can also plunge into the nightlife super.
In the base or towards the end he calms down with a soft-woody base without losing his basic DNA.
Also in the base the iris provides a beautiful powdery underground.
For me a sensual fragrance that suits many occasions. Although the black original is much more suitable for everyday use, women can also wear it well. He has sex appeal, but also provides a cultivated fragrant impression. Also the sweetness does not appear too offensive and playful. Thus it is not only something for the young girls, but also for experienced women. But it has a very modern design and therefore young ladies can wear it well.
The performance is good. You don't scent the environment with it if you don't overspray. Normally a fragrance with a good sillage doses, which does not turn into penetrance.

As a man, I can say we want to smell that. I'll speak for everybody. Definitely a scent that a man can use to make a woman. This mix of Rose-Iris-Tonka-Moschus is simply stylish.

I use this fragrance (which would also be good for today) to wish all perfumers a good slide, a good start and all the best for 2019

A gorgeous, floral musk. Very seductive but not obnoxiously so. Well-blended + intriguing. Too powdery for me but very lovely all the same

Musky and vibrant, brighter than the other ones in the line. It well represents the passionate red of the bottle. quite good sillage.

The bolder older sister of Penhaligon's Artemisia; a powdery floral that feels comfy but with a hint of something a little more scandalous.
