Narciso

Narciso is a floral woody musk for women, composed by Aurélien Guichard for Narciso Rodriguez in 2014, eleven years after the house made its name with For Her. Gardenia and white rose open it, creamy rather than sharp, and then musk takes over almost entirely and stays there, warm and skin-close. The base is two kinds of cedar with vetiver, which gives the drydown a dry pencil-shaving quality under all that softness. Minimal by design. It lasts a long time and projects moderately, and it suits daytime in spring, autumn and winter.
