Narciso Rodriguez For Her by Narciso Rodriguez

a.k.a.warum

I tried EDP (pink) and EDT (black) on paper and liked the way the EDT smelled better, so it got the winning ticket to be tried on my skin. I liked it a lot!

Fresh meadow air after a rain is what it reminded me of. Fresh, moist, misty, fragrant. It is floral but in a subdued way, not a big bunch of loud flowers of the garden, but softer smelling tiny flowers of the meadow.

Two little cautious test squirts lasted on me 4 hours -- not a bad result for an EDT! Next time I will go for big wet sloppy squirts with abandon... or straight for a full bottle!

P.S. The rose of the pink one seemed harsh on paper... but I don't know what it would smell like on my skin.

this perfume has so many positive reviews! I've tried both the edt and the edp and I can't seem to like them. They just smell to complicated, but not in a way I enjoy

magda14012

It is one of these perfumes that you either love or hate. I did not like it when it first went out. However after a couple of months had another go. I love both EDT anf EDP. Pink bottle seems softer and sweeter on my skin, black lasts all day and I find it more sexy.
I wear it as my armour to give me confidence.

naleiarenee

I just recieved this in the EDP (pink bottle).Oh,my high hopes to love this one !!! I think that it is a bit too refined and proper .Too powdery and soft.The musk used here is too white,for me.I want my musk dirty with some flowers on top.
Many have descibed this scent as a sexy but,I simply do not agree.
Maybe i might like Musc EdP Intense or Esscence ?

jellybeantree

I have to say I finished the edt now I use the edp but it has no staying power on me so I am staying with the edt which is stronger and lasts all day. Too bad for the edp, at least I gave it a try.

LoveLy

this smells like a slightly more grown up version of mariah carey's m to me...very nice and the edt lasted forever on me even until the next day so i dont know what the edp would do

The Perfume Critic

The pink bottle is gorgeous, but this perfume smells like bug spray :(

Nicole79

EDT Black bottle....very unusual fragrance...intresting , modern, cosmopolitan, a day scent, more for winter...I don't find it sexy, i like it and i don't ! There is something about this fragrance that bothers me !

bartenderbabe

This is a unique fragrance. Comes out sharp and intense but immediately smells very good. It's so unusual that you keep smelling, trying to figure out what it is. Ends up in a velvety trail of musk and powder. Very nice.

EDT review
this is a really nice take on a woody-floral musk-based fragrance. to be frank, i expected something heavier, as i keep spraying and spraying this, and all i get is an almost-gone sense of... umm... something feminine, clean, creamy and slightly soapy, while the orange blossoms blended with a GREAT quality musk give it a bit of a dirty edge.
i don't find it groundbreaking or mysterious in any way, but it's pleasant to wear on cold winter days. i'll probably use it up very quickly, as i need a LOT to be able to smell it, and unfortunately it lasts only about two hours.
said in a few words: lust in a bottle, in the gentlest, most sensual way possible.

Victoria Regia

It smells like a simple, rose-based, traditional soap bar and that's all. Nothing sexy about it. I agree with Jeca in that it seems like a "modern interpretation of something older". I like soapy scents, but this one doesn't suit me. It would probably be very elegant on the right person, though.

sashenka

It's overwhelming...I think I understand why it's so often described as being so sexual because it makes me think of animals in heat...

jellybeantree

I have both the edt and the edp and honestly I loved the edt first but now after using it a while, I prefer the edp. It smells heavenly and stays longer on my skin!

guest_kiki

Beautiful fragrance...very sexy ,sensual,sophisticated, classy in my opinion. Unfortunately does not work with chemistry at all(almost instantly turns sour/pickle cucumber mess). I bought Agent Provocateur which is similar to NR,
and works better on me. To bad, I like this one better, its sweeter and more appropriate for daily use.

I've had the EDT for awhile and loved it (see previous review down the pile aways); I finally got the EDP and to my chagrin, it stinks on me. It smells like a balloon - you know, that rubbery smell? I don't know why, the ingredients listed aren't that different from other scents I've bought that smelled great on me, but this one ... after maybe an hour it settles down and I get a nice touch of the woods and several hours later I am left with some lingering florals, but I don't think it is worth the strong rubbery, balloon scent at the beginning. Luckily I got it from Macy's, who have a very liberal return policy. Now I just have to decide what I"m going to exchange it for ... Anyway, I'd recommend that, just because one of the concentrations works for you, that doesn't necessarily mean the other will - test it before you buy (especially at the price!!)

juliamarchwicka

I finally bought this fragrance a while ago after having been saving up for it.

The scent is very pleasant and not that sweet, but with a hint of something that's NEARLY sweet (if that makes sense...).

I enjoyed wearing it, but I developed an allergic reaction after two or three times.

I had to go return it :(

izzie07

I tried this scent this weekend. It was okay but not as great as I wanted. I bought Essence.

Olushka

Strange, that here they put these 2 aromas together, while they are definitely different... I mean, pink bottle and black box with black bottle and pink box...
I loved much pink bottle... It's really very unusual and I can't say, that it reminds me something else, as it happen often, when many perfumes seems to be the same....
Black bottle I didnt like at all... for me it seemed to be too hard...

asmahtp

i'm sorry to Narciso Rodriguez fan... really dislike this ...too much for me...

tessture

A sweet amber-y orange blossom with delicate floral notes, this sadly dries down so quickly to a cloying, over-sweet mess on my skin. Perhaps without the honey blossom and with more wood or vetiver it could avoid this end, but as it was, the sweetness makes the teeth ache.

Gosha

I just got a tiny bottle (7ml or so) of the pink one (EDP) and have a bit controversial feelings after the first spray. All I can smell is musk. Clean, warm, sofisticated and very luxurious, but only a musk. (I love musk, but after all the review frenzy :-D, I have expected a lot of excitement, something very different! On the second spray, however, it's suddently full of roses - somehow I did not expect this and this flower is not among my favourites, but here I like it. Quite a lot. It is very elegant, comfortable fragrance in my opinion and I will happily wear (and sniff) it all day. It has also developed that sensuality people have been crazy about here in the reviews, but still, it seems to be a very safe kind of a scent - as one of the girls said: it's like a modern interpretation of something very old (I definitely do detect this "old" factor here). What is very bizzare though - that I have also applied a bit on my clothes and the fragrance takes a completely different direction. It is warm, jolly, young and full of other notes (flowers I assume) that I seem to miss on my skin. Will have to try again soon!

jellybeantree

I have both the edt and edp and at first I only liked the edt but now I like edp even more but they are both wonderful! I only have 3 perfumes for the moment and Narciso is the number 1 for now. I am really happy I tried both! Love love love

ofelia85

non sa proprio di niente!! profumo scialbo e inesistente!! sconsigliatissimo!!

Mahala77

The first time I tried this perfume, other people liked it more than I did. I got a sample at Holt Renfrew and tried it on, it really was attracting a lot of people as I had more than 5 men comment on it on the bus ride home. I saved and bought the 100ML bottle along with the cream. I prefer the cream to the perfume itself. Overall, I wear this on special occasions...weddings, dinner parties, etc.

notme

Really really thumbs down for this one. I read and heard good reviews on this one, and I bought a bottle without trying it out. It's like ordinary soap with dreams of royalty.

Migotka

It is one of the most unucual scents you can find in perfume shops at the moment (excluding niche fragrances).

Extremely sensual.
For me also an example how different a fragrance can be on a wrist (when I fisrt tested it, seemed just very flowery), than on the rest of the body.

I have fallen with love with the EDT (EDP is quite different from it). There is something in it that simply escapes words. It makes me feel of powdery snow flakes, and it would make a perfect fragrance for the Queen of Snow, powdery, musky, and mysterious.

kastehelmi

Oh my world-a fragrance to rival my Accenti-An ode to the sensual woman, that is not being pushed into obscurity for mass-market odors of the usual glitz! Today is a beautiful day, the special day I received my bottle of Narciso Rodriguez For Her eau de toilette!!!
I have never once smelled such a creamy womanly soft mist from a bottle-a simple, striking jet black bottle...
This is orange blossom, kissed by osmanthus, but not trampled on by other flowers, left dry from the juices of fruits, but made moist with musk and just the tiniest pinch of amber. The coriander and vetiver keep the ever-present gelato-sweetness of vanilla from being the least bit heavy. This is the kind of fragrance worn by a woman that every man (and a few women) wants, but nobody can have-it smells sexy but wholesome all at once. I would chase after a man if he wore this (even though this is characteristically as feminine as silk stockings)
The longetivity is amazing, considering that it's an EDT-and the sillage is just right-not too close to the skin, but not too much.

I have a very unusual name, and an art gallery just opened in town, which happens to share my name. I met the owner and he grinned in surprise. There will be a tango dance there this Friday, with a live band, and a series of beautiful vibrant sea-like paintings on the wall--this is the perfect occasion to wear out my new signature scent for the first time.

Update:
I fell out of love with Narciso as quickly as I fell in love with it-I love the musky character, but it's much too sweet and a bit too plain and powdery for me...Excellently crafted, but doesn't suit my personality. I have yet to test the EDP, but I have a few samples of the EDT up for swap.

jellybeantree

I have the black bottle and honestly I am captivated,the beauty of musk at its finest this perfume isn't trying to be something else it stands on its own, gentle yet sensual, mysterious yet warm, its really beautiful and one of a kind. So many people wear it though, but its so wonderful, I understand why.......
Update: Wonderful staying power. This could turn into a signature for me.. Will update later.
UPDATE: I can't leave the house without spraying this, its very addicting!
Update 2; Just ordered a bottle of the edp, will also try it out, both lovely!

Happyme2009

Hyacinth and freesia, warm, very sensual and sexual, despite being floral; I never thought as floral perfumes being sexy, this one is. Different than anything else I have, modern, discreet, makes skin wanna get touched, caressed, loved... life like, it's got a demon of its own, a spirit that takes over the person wearing it... a perfume with personality, finally!

Synsa

I really like NR, both pink and black bottle... The smell is very elegance, fresh and mind blowing.. But it's quite expensive... i wanted to try a similar smell like NR but last long... do you have any suggestion??

...any how, at the moment NR is my favorite fragrance... :)

stanfoz

I absolutely love love love this smell its heaven on earth! shame it doesnt seem to last long on my skin...even thou i shower in the gel and put the cream on first...still love love love it! wonder if there is a perfume with the opening notes of this one out there that has a longer lasting smell. oh also love the bottle and love cuba

guest_

I find this one soothing and deep after it dries a few minutes. I spray it on before bedtime, and fall asleep under its power. I haven't decided if I'm a serious enough person to carry it off as my signature, but it's in the running.

mmizy

its intense, sophisticated, sexy and feminine. You have to try it on your skin because on paper you may not appreciated. It makes me feel confident and grown up. I received it in a swap. It may not have been something that I would have purchased for myself but it does fulfill a need in my collection. Lasting power is not that great but I have the large bottle so I don't mind a couple extra sprays. I like it. Creamy, musky, flowery goodness! A nice change from the sugary fragrances

poppy_vanderbilt

I didn't like this one ..i was hoping to but...what ruined it for me was the opening...it was too strong and offensive smelling to me...almost a hateful smell...the middle seemed chaotic it wasn't until 30 minutes later that the dry down saved it..i really like the sensual musk of the dry down very similar to SJP lovely and Philosophys inner grace.

Wristsniffer

Unfortunately, this one doesn't work on my skin. I tested the EDP version today (in the pink bottle) and found it bitter and masculine. After the first twenty minutes or so, which were full of orange blossom and musk, it bloomed into something extremely reminiscent of Issey Miyake. It was pleasant, but not as good as Issey (which I love to wear from time to time in EDP form), but after another twenty minutes or so, the florals dissipated and what was left was a synthetic, masculine musk. I tend to enjoy musks (The Body Shop's White Musk and Kiehl's Original Musk are favorites), but something about this one was just really artificial and harsh.

I adore most of Christine Nagel's lovely creations so this was a very unexpected disappointment. It's not awful, but utterly uninteresting, bland, and synthetic to my nose. Pass!

The EDT (black bottle) is far lovelier and much more reminiscent of SJP Lovely.

zvoncica

Prior to testing Narciso EDT I had high expectations and was prepared for celestial experience.

The first time I saw him I took a spritz on the test paper:
it was creamy, slightly sweet, mild, soft, spottless and seductive. I was attracted to it, defeated from the first smell, couldnt wait to have him.

I kept him on desk for days and sniffed even when it disapeared, because the memory was still strong and vivid.

Few days later I tested Narciso on skin ... guess what happend!

Cute and seductive guy from the paper turned to muscular, powerfull, rather intense flowery woody persona.

Well, thers still the creamy sensation present and yes, it gives enjoyable feeling while wearing, but where did that cute and gentle Narciso go?

Despite the decieving personality I find him to be catchy, alluring and foxy.
To be honest, what else can a women ask for ?

Kterhark

Per my internal rating system, this is a 7 out of a 10, which falls just short of buying. i thought this fragrance grew better with time, wiht the second half of it's life better than the first. There is nothing ghastly or wrong wiht this fragrance, it just comes down to personal preference. Very much worth sampling.

sabsoob

i got "For Her Eau de Toilette To Go Set" from the duty free.. plus the hair mist from another shop.

you can imagine how NR concentrated i smell like.
i love it, and everyone around me loves it too. comfortable, warm sexy AND not in ur face sexy..

rednose

Meh. Too pricey for nothin, the way I sniff it. It could be congestion? No, it just wasn't super like I had expected. Sad really, I always try to keep my expectations low so I love more things...that never works.

Daria

I'm in love with the black perfume!!
The black much better then the pink..

Deedz

Narciso Rodriguez is BEAUTIFUL.
It's so undescribably wonderful.
I would like to be a mother one day and have my children and husband associate this scent with me.
It's a true traditional wedding scent embodying white lace gowns, baby rose bud bouquets and long soft ringlets.
Taken out of the marital context, I believe this scent suits any soft spoken, doe eyed, compassionate female.
I'm sad that I can't afford it right now and hope that it's still in production when I finish Uni and settle down into life as a young lady.

LadyJedi

I got a NR decant from a friend yesterday. Feminine, soft, elegant - yes, but not a 'wow' frag for me. The sillage is very limited.

allexa27

this is the most feminine frag ever.It is very creamy, tender, sensual and sexy in an intelligent way.I had lots of compliments for it.and people told me that it suits me perfectly,he he he.I think I found THE ONE!

CFKay

Because its so expensive and I get bored with this smell quite quickly, I bought Red Door Velvet which smells exactly the same, but costs a fraction of the price.

Adriana_87

Elegant must be the best word for it,the bottle is also very elegant.This suits a white shirt and a pencil skirt perfectly..i like it

BluDreamer7806

Beautiful, Pretty, Precious, Sassy, Feminine, Sultry, Dainty, Classic, Irresistible......UNFORGETTABLE!

It's just about daybreak and I'm already floating away into a tapestry of coriander, osmanthus and orange blossoms. With a kiss from last night's spring rain, I begin my journey into the unknown and some kind of way, I end up in the woods where the sweet muskiness of a vetiver vanilla forest titillates my senses with amber and bergamot. I play around a bit for hours and hours and slowly make my way back home to rest, and yet the floral coriander, lovely amber and rousing woods are still wreaking havoc on my senses as well as invading my dreams.

If you wanna feel your sex-appeal ooze out of every pore of your body.........Then tantalize your skin with the beauty of Narcisco Rodriguez. Because this classic fragrance is a crowd pleaser that will envelope you in its passion from the beginning to the very end.

taninha07

IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCENTS , AND I HAVE MANY `` FRAGRANT LOVES ``... IT STAYS VERY CLOSE TO THE SKIN ( THE TS , I MEAN ) , IT IS NOT FATAL , IT IS 100%FEMININE ( AND TO ME ,FEELING ALL WOMAN , MAKES ME FEEL SEXY ). THE PS , DOES NOTHING FOR ME , IT´S A BEAUTIFUL FLORAL , NONETHELESS , IT SUITS MY MOTHER BEST .

Mellyhelly

Narciso Rodriguez is one of the scents that became signature scent for me (not easy!) a few years ago when it was put on market in Italy. Little I knew about NR, I just saw a stand with this unusual black bottle, straight almost formal yet very intriguing and shiny. Just a spray and... I fell in love! It was so mellow musky, good musk not the crappy white musks of this world. Apparently this contains Egyptian Musk, not the white one and it's among the few musk-dominated scents I can wear.
Orange flowers come out very intensely since the beginning and they are so dreamy! I don't smell other flowers but orange flowers. I love the amber-vanilla edge and the special creaminess of the EdT altogether. That mellow warm creaminess is the special part of the scent. EdT has it, EdP doesn't. Lucky enough, teh vetiver gives just a hint of masculin edge without overpowering the whole blend. Very new and powerful, sweet not cloying, intense and delicate at the same time. It's a sexy elegant and modern scent. Now it's a little bit over abused and over-smelled around. I still wear it when I'm in the period of the month like it. All body products smells divine. EdT layered with the Musc oil (again Egyptian not white!) is heaven, but it's soooooooo expensive!!
I don't like the EdP version because it's very harsh with a strange pungent rose note that reminds me of Agent Provocateur and smells sweaty.

luz

I adore it !!! This is the best musky scent out there, really special. Highly recommended ! I love the EDT better.

Divenus

Well... When I had prove this perfume (EDP), I was crazy about it, and didn´t get calm until I buy it. And now, I even put this once. I used all my sample, and that´s it. I don´t Know if is the heat of Spain, but can´t wear this anymore whitout getting a big headache. I´ll wait for the autunm. Maybe then it will fit me better.

SmoothasSilk

I dont wear it everyday..but i feel powerfull...when i do.. ; )

Chandramukhi

This Narciso Rodriguez for her EdP stands out from the crowd. I think the creator intended and succeeded to make the after-bath sensation last. I couldn't identify a flower or a specific ingredient, just the cleaness and freshness a lady has in her towel, with her skin and hair wet, stepping on the marble of a bathroom with a view to a veranda. That's why this perfume is considered so sexy, because it reproduces the generic mixed scents of bath products. What could it be? Maybe the musk is the heart of this cosmetic festin. I can imagine also powdered peony. And the bottle is also unique and very attractive, like icecream.

essija

Reviewing the Edp now and This imo is so much better. At least it's not so busy/scatter brained. It's a beautiful rose/floral musk that would be perfect to wear daily.. Though now that I have tried all of them My absolute fav is the musc oil.. too bad it's so expensive:)...

annehke

I thought it was only my impression and reaction...some top floral notes..and then absence-void of scent-loss of all sensation! I too, had this experience. I re-applied and then the perfume gained some strength; still the perfume was too soft...then I applied again...15 minutes later arriving to work, I recieved many compliments. The perfume and sillage had developed so silently! I appologized for making it too strong, and everyone said "no no, itś wonderful". I really enjoyed the pureness of the floral, the touch of spiciness by the coriander and all the notes that create the deep, sensual, and sultry, heady, mature style of this perfume. I cannot pin-point just one facet of this perfume that is my favorite- because I liked all the fine details, and the entire composition as a whole! Easily, one mistake of notes could have made this perfume too heavy and suffocating; itś just perfect-the sillage and notes convey an essence of lightness, while at the same time being pronounced and sexy. I also enjoyed Narciso Rodriguez because it uses so many of my preferred notes, wich usually are hidden in the base- here are in the main focus, all together, all in one bottle.

Malegria

I never tried it before, but heard a lots of good things about this perfume. What is this wonder, I mused, that everyone is talking about? Will it be my next obsession fragrance?
I got a sample from a friend of mine, and it is nothing that I expected.At first spray, there was a slight flowery accord - and then, NOTHING.It felt like it completely dissolved itself into mu skin...Surprised, I sprayed it again.This time, it was coriander and musk, with a little bit of unidentified flowers - a mix of freshness and something musty, reminded me of a dressing room in a theater.
As the fragrance began to unfold, I understood why some reviews I heard about it positioned this scent as the sexiest. It definitely has something indecent about it, may be a mix of musk and amber that gives out the impression of sweaty skin...(There are several perfumes that do it to me).There is also something very medicinal about it, like herbal tincture, St John`s Wort herb, bitter roots and alcohol...
Anyway - when I got to the base, it became almost masculine due to a lots of vetiver.
One must try it on before buying it!

shangnar

when you step outside, air is filled with strong fragrance of osmanthus, you couldn't help taking a deep breath, and you will be slightly drunk, no nicer feeling you could catch than it. no matter whatever you are doing, don't miss it, just close your eyes, imagine so many osmanthus before you, and breathe as deeply as you could, get it?

ktv0926

Narciso is a gorgeous fragrance! Adorable and so sexy! A bit aggressive at first, sensual and seductive later, makes you close your eyes...it finishes with calm, low notes. This fragrance is 100% of pleasure from the first seconds to the very end. Love it!

P.S. reminds me Agent Provocateur.

lilinah

I got a small sample to test. I swear when i put it on i smelled rose, although it isn't listed, followed by some beautiful white florals i couldn't identify. It was lovely and feminine, although not something i'd buy.

Unfortunately on dry down, on me it smells of lovely flowers and foam rubber :-(

Lunohodik

I’m a big fan of NR for her. I have several editions of For her-EDP, EDT, and limited editions in a mirror bottle and in a gift set with candles.
It wasn’t a love at first sniff at all. When my mom bought it in 2004, I totally hated it! I used Lancome Miracle as my signature scent at that time, and for my nose For Her was terribly heavy and old fashioned. I almost forgot about NR For Her and in 2005 I had a perfumemaniac conversation with my friend, and we had an argument on NR For Her. My friend said that its great on the other hand I was sure that its horrible. So I had to get a sample of it and test it thoroughly. I must confess-I loved it! Thank you my dear friend Leka, because of you I found my favorite perfume))

What can I say about it now?
Its definitely a love or hate perfume!
For me NR For her is weightless, almost fairy scent! Its so light and tender but at the same time it has a distinctive character. its not a perfume for good girls, its for a “good girl gone bad” story. Its a perfume for a women who know what they want and know how to get it
I personally like EDT better, its stronger and more vivid. EDP is great for summers, ‘cos it doesn’t disturb your senses. I didn’t figure it out about the Limited editions yet. Yes, mirror bottle sounds different but I can’t tell what exactly is different, more citrusy probably. In both EDP and EDT I love musky notes, and how they are combined with florals, on my skin I have almost no woody notes.

I would definitely recommend this perfume at least for test, to everybody. Its an all year round perfume, its modern with slight vintage atmosphere in it. If you like teenage scents it probably would seem too heavy and old-fashioned for the first time, as it happened with me. Now when I use several perfumes from the Serge Lutens line(which are pretty strong, oriental and spicy) I must say NR For Her seems much lighter and girlie.

essija

I have the edt and it is very fresh, lots of Orange Blossom on me. Spring flowers comes to mind, really nice happy heart scent. I'm not picking up any egyptian musk yet but maybe that will come later. I love this and will wear it all year round. Zesty and Clean

Trvevil

I tried EDP.
It reminds me of field in late spring!
At the beginning it was quite light, then it grew stronger. It's not intense, but very solid and might induce headache to someone. I'd like to wear it in fall season most likely, because it's warm and comforting. For me, it's not what I expected. I expected it to be sexy on me, but it's just nice on me :D.
Also I saw there the same bottles, but with 'musc' written on them and fragrance in silver bottle.

nicki26

I love the EDP of this perfume! I still love it since introduced to it about 2 years ago, which is extrodianary for me given how often I change my mind with perfume.. When you wear it, it just gives you a confidence boost.. The only word of caution is that it is not a summer fragrance- even in mild heat it can become a little too suffocating, especially in restrictive areas...

Ayse

This is the sexiest perfume i has so far. I dont know how to describe it but if you do put it on dont smell your wrist in public coz you will make funny face expressions (coz it smells so nice) and people might take you as a lunatic:)

tessture

Casting the dissenting note, I do not like this at all. It begins just as lovely and sexy as everyone describes, but dries quickly to a oversweet ambery orange-blossom that cloys and clings. My skin and it do not agree and I end up scrubbing what I can only describe as a heavy and suffocatingly sweet fragrance.

Silvananoemi

The best perfume in my life is this "Narciso Rodriguez"! far the best !!!!!!! notes moved me to a different world, exotic and romantic, sensual, no I did not ask me what perfume I have !!!!!!
Greetings from the south-Argentine and my congratulations to its creator, Mr Rodriguez !!!!!!

VioletLily

Softly sweet, warm, sexy and just divine! When I first tried Narciso edt, it was unlike any musk I've smelt and I was intrigued. I couldn't pick any of the the notes at all, just that it smelt sexy sweet. As I browsed around the shops, it was floating about me, now transformed into warm sexy skin, yet softly sweet and comforting. Kind of in the realm of DreamEsscents Musc/Jovan Musk, in that warm sexy skin way, yet not like them at all. Feminine too, without being flowery. After that, I was pretty much in love and bought it two days later. Now that I know the notes, I can kind of sniff them out... At first spray I think can smell sweet orange blossom, honeyed musk with maybe a hint of vanilla, but it's not overtly any of those things, it's blended so harmoniously. The amber, vetiver and woods come out on the drydown and meld beautifully with the other notes, but again, I can't sniff any of these singularly and I was really surprised to see vetiver in there at all – it must be the softest versions of all these notes. The Egyptian Musk too, is not like any other EM I've smelt, it doesn't have the earthy herbal spice that they normally have at all. As for lasting power, it goes for about 3 hours or me and seems to soften quite a lot after ½ an hour, and while sometimes I can't smell it, the sillage must be fantastic. I've had a couple of comments that people can smell this gorgeous smell and they were a couple of metres away. And sometimes I'll turn my head, get a whiff, and ooooh. Gets the 'Mmmmm' reaction from the man too.

PS: As I saw mentioned on MUA a while back, Cetaphil cream really does help Narciso last longer.

LizzieM

Tested both the EDP and the EDT, both stunning. The EDP seems to have a rose type note in it making it sweeter than the EDT. Surprisingly the EDP has gone a bit "Kate Moss" on me. I like Kate and I like this. I am keen on the EDP, so if I could have only one bottle I would pick the pink bottled scrumptious gorgeousness of the EDP over the EDT.

asilverfire614

This review is for the EDT in the black bottle...

Wow!! I think this is pure sex in a bottle. At least it is for me! Beautiful, lusty, ambery musk at first...and then a sweet floral dry-down that teases and teases.

During the first two hours of wearing this, it occurred to me that it smelled how I wanted a masculine cologne to smell on a woman. I realize that doesn't make much sense...but...I have a fascination with cologne and sometimes I think I have found the perfect masculine scent for me, and then, oh no, I find something about it I can't stand. The top and heart of this fragrance made me think about this because of its beautiful musk accord.

Beyond that, it does have a very unique floral dry-down, which is very interesting, as most perfumes are vice-versa. I'm not big into strong florals, but NR's trail suited me just fine...even wearing a suit today! It made me feel feminine, confident, AND sexy.

Lasted almost ten hours, too, which is very impressive in my book. Now I see what all the hype was about! :)

Amythyst

This review is for the EDT, (black bottle) I have not tried the EDP.
The first sniff of Narciso for Her was very "in your face" with a grandmother type smell, but after the drydown, the sharp floral notes assert themselves and it becomes very different. (Yay!!) I have tried this one on many different occasions, and am still trying to see if this suits me.
I am reminded of an older fashioned but still very sexy couture dress, classic with silks and chiffon... Walking into a ballroom for everyone to turn and ask "who is that woman?" mysterious and sexy at the same time. Not for the shy, this fragrance.
A very complicated and delightfully floral musk, it has a note that makes you want to keep sniffing your wrist to figure it out.
I do not like Lovely at all, on my skin, so I do not smell the similarities that so many have written about.

NR makes every woman special -it'll definitely make your day as people will take note of you especially when this scent leaves a very good lingering scent in the air wherever you go...so be careful! It can also backfire if you're doing naughty things and if you're the only one in the office wearing it!:P

Lovely, smells exactly alike except it is not as rich and opulent. Lovely is like a 90% copy with red berry notes added to give more freshness and younger feel. But it loses out greatly on the rich velvety and sensual feel of NR.

I would strongly recommend ladies to wear NR instead of Lovely. You wouldn't regret it!

No man can resist a NR Woman!

I have the EDT and want the EDP - I love this fragrance which, on me, is soft with the honey notes accented. my husband dislikes it, calling it "granma perfume," but I just adore the way this smells on my skin - soft, warm, floral and flirty - like a summer day in a forest, with bees droning around to the flowers and the sun shining on it all.

You want to smell very special this pefume (black bottle) is for you. I use it for a night out. Looking for that longlasting fragrance you've always wondered about this is it ladies. It's distinctive, alluring, and very sophisticated.

When I put on SJP's Lovely, it smells like NR for Her. I cannot make up my mind which one to buy.

flugeltje013

Yes, the EDP is very flowery, milky, smooth... Fresh & soft smell, but it's 'there', long lasting... When I smell it I can imagine a 50's diva wear this :-)

Aysu

Sharp, woodsy, musky, animalic. Cannot detect any flower notes in it (EDT version) and I find it quite masculine. But how I feel when I wear it? Well it feels sexy.. It is very different than the other perfumes in the market, and although I was thinking that I cannot be comfortable with this sharp smell, no, it is very close to skin and it feels good. Thinking that EDP version could be better for me as it looks like more flowery..

I don't know why but this fragance, Narciso Rodriguez EDT, which should be perfect for me according to its notes (I love musk), does not manage to smell like "me".
It's a lovely, femenine, sensual, musky, skin scent, just a bit sweet, and I wish I could love it and buy it, but there's something that makes me think I won't be totally comfortable wearing it.
I'll keep trying!

Moszatka

Mediates muggy eroticism, very delicious fragrance. Feminine, sensual and long lasting. What is needed yet? :)

Eiza

I have both EDT n EDP miniatures. I love EDT better n purchase the big bottle. I really love the smell of this one. However when my frens start comparing it with LOVELY SJP, it really annoyed me. For me NR fragrance is very sophisticated n modern n more classy. I have both NR n SJP.

Mellushka

This is a beautiful perfume...
Highly Sensual...
Very Romantic...
The Dry-down melts on the skin as a raindrop melts into a puddle...
Mysterious... you wouldn't really predict the intentions of a person wearing it
It's also elegant... in the most feminine way... I can imagine a dark stage light up with the graceful dance of a ballerina moving only to the notes of this perfume:)

kurisu

I use an EDP.It's very feminine. Elegance,sexy and sweet but also have a tender touch.For me it's long lasting,and the dry down is heavenly sweet.Love it!

iam2sexy4uris

I love this perfume, it is amazing. Very classic, it goes on a little strong, but withing minutes settles and becomes heavenly. However, I prefer the one in the black bottle over the one in the pink. The pink of is a little strong, but still very feminine.

kori_an

One of my favourites..on my skin is very long lasting...it makes me feel very sexy and feminine.The bottle is also very elegant.

ticalau

waw! very,very,very nice bottle!!! :DD So elegant and modern! And i like more then bottle for him... ;)

And the fragrance great 2! Modern and mystic, warm and sensual! Nice!!

carmenragalie

A romantic fragrance & very discreet, but in the same time it's very profound. the scent isn't easy to forget having a cool "personality". I, personaly, love it.

dandy721

Even the guys wear this fragrance and i like it very very much

PR

Light and not bad, But I smell only lilly of the valley in there, and it is not even amnong the ingredients..I think my mother would like to have it, because lilly of the valley is her favourite in any perfume, and the more of it , the better. Don't know if to anyone else it smells like this flower

Luciana

Es un excelente perfume!!! y tiene una fragancia única, no se confunde con los demás perfumes

Candra

It is a lovely scent, but i'm very disappointed in its lasting power.

mushichka

edt is soft and melting on my skin, putting there the feeling it is my own scent. strong orange blosom in the beginning then wither to meet the most gorgeous and heavenly musk in this world! the person from whom i have my first bottle used to say this scent keeps light in it as well as hides some dim thoughts. this is the scent of lust, but not romance. smelling it i imagine night in the big city, taxis, streets in the vasts of unwelcomeness and confussion.. and this scent stands there as an island, as a bridge to secret hidden worlds, softly whispering,encouriging .. like a drums' thud in the jungle of buildings. it reminds me of the way the cigarette smoke is dancing in the air.
longlsting and with character, hard to forget.
edp is definitely more agressive, sharp. i feel some woodynotes in there. no vanilla, but instead kind of a plastic feeling. anyway i can also catch lilac ..but only sometimes.

amanda

its a sensual, serious and sophisticated smell, i like it very much, especially the edt, and i like the bottle too, looks like if it was full of body lotion, but i like the new limited edition bottle, the silver one too

mia

i like this perfume, i keep wearing it on special occasions..very sensual fragrance

knics33

Ahhh...NR, how I love you! This is by far my favorite perfume for fall/winter/night. It is so beautiful and musky. The deepness of it lures me right in. This is one of those fragrances that when you wear it, you will be constantly be sniffing your wrists. An absolutely amazing, musky scent.

Halvah

My boss loved this scent on me:) However, I don't like it very much, and stopped wearing it. A very seductive smell anyway.

suelle

I love this scent from the first second. It reminds me good honey, not the one you can get in the supermarket, but the one you get from someone keeping bees.
It's like long velvet gloves. Makes me feel extremely feminine. Makes me proud of myself. It's like second skin for me.

soirdelune

Very lovely. When I first smelled this, it had a very comforting smell of my grandmother about it ... then I realised, it smelled a bit like Elnett hairspray, which my grandma always wore! I find that charming and not at all old fashioned. Very modern, but with a subtle vintage twist.

Aiona

Floral. Sharp. Bright. Floral. I don't smell the musk. I just smell flowers. Piercingly floral from the moment I sprayed it on, until now, still florally over 9 hours later. It's probably a great choice for someone who likes florals. Because, it's a floral.

Thankfully, it's flowers I like. Not oily tuberose. Not oily ylang-ylang. More like frangipani, or champaca, or really, really strong magnolia. Or peony. Sharp flowers. If I *had* to wear a floral, I might wear this.

natissimo

I LOVE THIS PERFUME!!!! :)
the most amazing fragrance i've ever had... it makes me feel overconfident, sexy and beautiful...:)

julianne35

EDT:you feellike the sexiest woman of the world, EDP: you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world..:) They are very similar in the top notes, the basenotes differ them basicly..EDP is fresher I think..Both is feminine..I love them..

randik

This is one of my favourites! It is absolutely mind blowing and special. I have received a lot of compliments wearing it:)It is deep, velvety, musky, rich and slightly mysterious. Too bad the staying power isn't too great.

scenthound

This is a very feminine scent, delicate but simultaneously powerful. Very well done. I am saving up to buy this one. Whenever I'm at the department store, I always swing by and spritz one of their nice ribbons... and then walk around sniffing for the rest of the day. I read somewhere that Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker smells very similar to this. In a way it does... but it doesn't cut it - it's way cheaper and it smells like it. Lovely is like the ugly cousin who asks you to the prom and you end up hating your parents for forcing you to go. Narcisco Rodriguez is like going to the prom stag with your friends because you don't need a date to have fun and feel beautiful.

guest_MoonBlueEyes

I have worn this perfume for quite a while, and have only grown to love it more. I have always gotten compliments when I wear it. To me the perfume has a sort of "masquarade" scent to it. A seductive, lustful sent veiling a pure...almost free aroma. I find I don't even like to leave the house without applying it....it's rather addictive and comforting!:D

Denise

I love this perfume, i first had the EDT and then the EDP because i want it to last as long as poss. The EDP is slightly different to the EDT but both are really nice. When i wear it i always get compliments off strangers regarding my perfume and i like it when that happens.

zoka

I also love this scent! It is very sexy, seductive and very feminine. It is way much better then "for him" version of this scent.

flugeltje013

I like it, it reminds me of those little Barbie perfumes you used to get when u bought a Barbie. So it really reminds me of my childhood, and I'm quite nostalgic :p

takemyhusbandplz

This smells exactly like my grandma's cedar chest. On my skin it smells like fresh cedar with a faint touch of citrusy mothballs (yes mothballs!). I don't believe this is really heady or strong enough to be a real vampy seducing scent. When NR dries down, it lies very close to the skin with little to no sillage. I wouldn't repurchase this, but it is interesting.

tackica_ns

I adore it, I just think it doesn't last as much as I want (I have EDP). I think that the most valuable ingrediant here which give that special scent is -the musk.
Few months ago, I was in Paris - in Sephora, and one lady stood in the front of the desk with this perfume and she put the whole bottle on her as long as the bottle was full. She put this perfume on her neck, hair, dress, hat, and once more, and once more.....it was really strange....she was like in kind of trance - and we looked at here around with no interruption... Strange sceene.

jeca

Yes, it is unusual, a modern interpretation of something very old ;o) Rose and musk, dark and sensual.

Aeternitas

Really nice, I can't quite describe it. It's beautiful, flowery, and intense in feminine feel. It also lasts a very long time from the moment you spray it on. Something about it is very innocent, but at the same time implies lust to me... very cool perfume!
