For Her Musc Noir Rose Narciso Rodriguez 2022

I absolutely love this scent - in my mind, this is the perfect Capricorn fragrance. It is easy and feminine with a hint of villainous flair to it with the dark rose. Fresh but still creamy, vanilla but not sickly, rosey but never described as one dimensional. It's complex but easy at the same time and there's not a situation or event that this wouldn't be appropriate for in my mind. 10/10 no notes and my go-to signature scent.

So beautiful! I don't understand why this is the rose flanker of Musc Noir. It doesn't smell all that rosy to me, it's more of an intense, richer version of the Musc Noir concept. If I could switch it up, I would call this Musc Noir and the first version Musc Noir Légère or Florale. Well, at least the darker bottle fits the scent.

This is such a sensual fragrance . Warm, jammy plum and an ever-so-slightly indolic, very hypnotic tuberose that is reminiscent of ripe jasmine. A touch of vanilla and comforting musk. It's not the typical strong NR For Her kind of musk, it's something more subtle and skin-like, but still sexy.
There is something about this that smells like suede, and it's almost a little smoky in the opening. Later it turns more balsamic. The rose is subtly blended into the plum. All in all this is not as clean as Musc Noir, especially in the drydown, but not dirty either. Many reviewers online said Musc Noir reminded them of Dior Poison, but I actually get much more of the Poison vibe with Musc Noir Rose. It has that touch of vintage attitude incorporated into a modern scent.

Really, the first one was nice, but this is superior in any way. It feels velvety and mysterious. Perfect for nights out, but honestly also during the day. Especially in autumn, the plum note feels perfect for that time of the year.

I felt that I needed something easy into my collection. Something classy yet comfortable and cozy, something delicate and not so unique. Sometimes I feel so exhausted that I don’t even have power to understand my own mood. If I wear some bold scent with a big character while feeling like that I just get confused. With these two scents I don’t have to think absolutely anything, no weather, neither clothes, not even how I really feel.

Do you recognize that mood?

I fell in love with so many scents from NR while trying to find something inconspicuous, almost imperceptible yet attractive and sensual. I love the powdery clean musky dna in them, they are like a tender hug, I feel like I’m wrapped in an enormous fluffy cashmere blanket escaping this cruel world. Musc Noir Rose has a sweet twist in it from Plum and Vanilla. All of them smells irresistible on cloths. Rose is more noticeable here than in others but it’s not “noir” in any kind of way and it’s not so natural smelling Rose, it rather stays very abstract.

Delightful very crowd pleasing mix of flowers in a warm woody base - I don’t find anything so “noir” in this one but there is a gentle breeze of warm spices. The scent is seductive and traditionally feminine. It’s delightful but it doesn’t force me to be in a good mood. I have an extrait of this one at it has that “noir” confidence boost in it. Anyway the name should be Coco Mademoiselle Noir.

Full reviews of both coming later.

It gives me a lot of motivation to write more.

I bought this because of youtube and as a blind buy. Plus the price was unbeatable ($49.99) so I figured, why not? I am so happy that I did. This is not a beast mode fragrance, but it is a stunner. Perfect for work, and anytime. I can definitely smell the musk and the vanilla, along with a light rose. But this is blended so stunningly that it becomes unforgettable and the longevity is fantastic. I might buy the bigger bottle as well just to have it & keep the 1.7 in my bag. I love it

Nice enough, but neither here nor there. The tuberose can be a bit bubble-gummy at times, but not grossly. Smells like it could be your friend’s mom or something. Mostly floral and musk with a very vanilla base. Almost like a shea butter body cream kind of vibe.

Between this flanker and the original Musc Noir, I think the latter is prettier to me.
