Narciso keeps bringing out beautiful fragrances, but the last new releases didn't impress me much. So, two weeks ago, I strolled past the Narciso Rodriguez counters in the numerous perfumeries in Fuerteventura without paying much attention to them.
At some point, however, a fragrance caught my eye, and I wondered if I already knew this pretty, transparent purple bottle. And lo and behold - a look in the Parfumo database revealed to me that it was new. So - I sprayed it on and didn't expect much at first.
As I continued to stroll through the still quite warm evening, my nose kept wandering back to my arm. Hmmm, so creamy, soft, warm, and fresh. A hint of orange blossom, but not annoying, the wonderful Narciso musk like in "Narciso (Eau de Parfum Poudrée) | Narciso Rodriguez," but more subtle and fortunately with little lily of the valley and aldehydes. This is how I had imagined the white Narciso, which I unfortunately never got to know. Simply perfect! Sillage is medium-good, but that's usually the case with the slightly fresher candidates.
In the warmth of Fuerteventura, it really shone. It was fresh without being annoying and at the same time creamy and slightly musky, powdery, fine. Back here in the cold, I unfortunately get a bit more aldehydes, lily of the valley, and that ever-so-slightly scratchy note that some people write about. But I still find it very beautiful and wouldn't want to miss it. I'm especially looking forward to wearing it again in the warmth!
