For Her Musc Noir Narciso Rodriguez 2021
1
Easy reach femme musk.
I'm apparently entering my musk era, which started out primarily as a way to learn more about the category itself and to figure out if I could learn to enjoy the category.
Turns out, the answer is absolutely yes, and I believe this particular scent will turn into what I call a "dumb reach" scent. You know, when you want to smell good but can't figure out what you want to wear kinda situation.
This is very much a "your skin but better" scent, which suits it well. I think if it projected more the plum note would be overly screechy. I love a plum note but I have a preference for it to be more on the jammy side whereas this is an almost underripe fruit plum; more skin than fruit.
On me the rose really comes through, and it's mature, but almost... generic? Nondescript? Like it's just there to support the musk and the plum, which I'm ok with.
The suede and cedar are very soft, really just giving everything else somewhere more structured to land.
I feel like if this were a color it would be the palest of mauve. And the texture would be a flannel.
I'm curious what this might layer well with; perhaps just traditional Nivea lotion or a basic Egyptian musk oil? Either way, I definitely will continue to play with it and investigate. It's a lovely scent and I can see why it's so popular.
