Narcotic Venus Nasomatto for women

I was gifted with a very generous sample of Narcotic Venus from the sweet Kchild. Thank you sweetie, you rock! I think all of the previous reviewers have described this perfume perfectly already, so I’ll try to keep this brief.

I adore tuberose and truly think the ancients were onto to something, when they used the essence in many love potions. With that said I "get" the name “Narcotic Venus’’ for this one. I like the name more than the juice, but only because it’s so similar to Michael Kors Michael! It’s not a bad thing unless you’re looking at price tags. This has the same incense like top note on my skin, and screaming tuberose heart, but it was a bit too astringent on me. Narcotic Venus doesn’t remind me of Fracas or Carnal Flower at all. The dry down is musky and vetiver spicy just like Michael Kors.

This is my favourite perfume from Nasomatto. It is very beautiful tuberose supported well by the lily and jasmine. Exquisit! I definitely prefer this one over Fracas but they are actually very different. If anything, this is closer to Michale Kors for women but much much better. I actually think this comes closest to Kim Kardashian. KK has more tuberose and is sweeter, whereas NV has more jasmine and is a bit more elegant and classy, not as loud. But the advantage of KK of course is that it's only a tiny small fraction of the price of NV :-)

Beautiful flowery fragrance. Very deep and warm concidering all the white flowers that are listed. I tried the whole series in the store and this one really stood out. An amazing flower explosion that bursts from your skin. Excellent sillage and longevity. This will be a nice present someday, as I can't can get away with this. Too feminine, even for me.
The name makes sense as well: this stuff is definity addictive. I kept sniffing my hand...

9/10

This was made for tuberose lovers. It is beautiful and the scent seems to gather heat and get hotter and hotter until it catches fire on the skin!! Never have I had quite that experience with a fragrance before. It starts off rather innocent and pretty and grows into the vixen of all vixens!! Absolutely appropriately named, Narcotic Venus just might be sex in a bottle!!

This is one of my favorite tuberose scents. I just love it and wish I could afford it. It is more delicate than Fracas.

I tested it today and I have to say that it's very in the line of tuberouse-centeraed fragrances like Fracas and Carnal Flower. It only smells simpler to my nose.
Fracas is a big creamy simphony, Carnal Flower is a very green and intense tuberouse. Narcotic Venus smells like a bomb when you first give a spray to your wirst and also quite harsh and pungent. Tuberouse with some little spices is all I smell at first. You need to five it time to develop and in 2-3 hours it will settle to a smoother tuberouse mingled with white lilies, much more similar to Carnal Flower than Fracas. It's a total floral, so you really need to love florals in order to wear it, otherwise it could be kind of a nightmare.

For me it's quite an intriguing scent, strong and feminine, elegant like a diva dressed to impress at theatre. It fades very slowly, I can still smell it after 6 hours, but it hasn't big sillage. It becomes like a skin scent, never morphing to crap cheap floral and someone need to come closer to smell it if you put the right amount without overdoing. I really like it after many hours, but I'm not sure it's worthy 98 euro for 30ml of extrait de parfum.

I do not totally agree with people comparing Narcotic Venus to Fracas or Carnal Flower. Yes, they do have in common the tuberose scent. All those perfumes are there to show the beauty of tuberose but yet in very different ways. Fracas is a buttery tuberose, Carnal Flower's tuberose is very intense, with green notes. I guess I would call it "icy". Up to the end it keeps the freshness & greeniness of the flower. And Narcotic Venus is mixed with lilies to my nose. It is intense but not as green and it has other flowers clearly accompanying the overall aroma. It has this indolic effect and I really like it. It looks to me that tuberose is in the glass of vodka. It has this sharpness & weirdness which is excellent to my taste. I love the difference and the fact that it is different to Fracas & to Carnal Flower.

In spite of the fact that this scent was the"result of a quest for the overwhelming addictive intensity of female sexual power" do not expect to be perceived as "femme fatale" when you wear it. Beside the first impression ,which is very strong(almost like a bomb) , a beautiful flower symphonie tuberose centered will delight you. You can almost recognise few notes from Michael(Michael Korrs) and even from Fracas but please do not expect to find the same sexual power like in Fracas. It is a classical floral ,not in the sensual way, but in the way of expressing feminity and sweetness. Later on it is developing nicely into a skinscent, a very feminine one. I can say, without making a mistake, that Narcotic Venus did not succed to be as Narcotic as it was imagined but it is very Venus. If you want to wear a scent which matches perfectly with the White Dress you should try it!
