Narciso Rodriguez for Her Eau de Parfum by Narciso Rodriguez

Still exploring this fragrance and haven’t reached a final verdict yet. I’ve worn it for months and tested it a few times. The first spray was such a strong blast of musk that I got dizzy and got a mild headache. The headache is gone, but the dizziness lingers; I now have to spray it only once on my clothes, and that’s enough. It lasts over 8 hours, and even though I use just one spray and it doesn’t have much sillage, the projection with that amount is potent, so I imagine it would be stronger if I sprayed more. Honestly, with my limited experience with notes, I only detect the musk and a very faint, hidden rose. It doesn’t smell feminine, but neutral. When it dries down, it smells like warm milk. More than sensual, I feel very sexual and animalistic. Maybe in a few months I’ll return with a more complete opinion, but I wanted to share these first impressions. It doesn’t disgust me, but it hasn’t won my heart either.

It’s a rose perfume, a fresh rose. The musk gives it power and makes it enveloping, sharp, and clean. It doesn’t smell like powdery rose talcum powder, even though that’s in the accord. It’s very fresh but noticeable. On rainy days, it’s the best. I don’t detect the peach. It’s very subtle; it’s not a scent with much evolution, it feels the same all the time: rose, musky, fresh, and clean. For me, all the notes aim to achieve a very realistic rose aroma. It seems like it won’t last, but it feels like it’s there all day.

It’s hard to describe its aroma, but it makes me feel like a classy woman. It’s clean and elegant, yet it doesn’t smell like soap or citrus; it represents a neat, subtle, and confident femininity.

I tried the Intense version and then this one, and I say that everything I disliked about the first one, I love about this. It’s a feminine perfume to the max; the rose and peach notes are perfectly balanced with that powdery feel, finishing with a soft patchouli that doesn’t break the harmony. It’s not the most original, which I appreciate, but if you’re looking for an easy-to-wear perfume all year round that makes you feel ‘coquette,’ I think it’s ideal. It doesn’t last long, but enough for this type of scent. Plus, it conveys a timeless, youthful, and simple feeling that will never go out of style.

It amused me to read some reviews; the same thing happened to me as to Isabeau Lafontaine. I consider it a very good perfume. I loved it and wore it for a long time, at least two years. I’m surprised to read that for some it doesn’t last on the skin; for me, it lasted until my next shower, and wherever I went, they knew I had been there because I still smelled, and they loved it… They asked me many times what it was. Over time, I started using other perfumes to vary things, even though back then there wasn’t such a fever for fragrances and people tended to be loyal to their lifelong scent, but I already loved this world and discovering new things at that time. But one day, I went to put it on again and I couldn’t believe it… it gave me a headache and generated rejection. I didn’t want that to happen to me with something I loved so much. I gave it many opportunities, tested it at different times, and observed changes, but since then I have a whole large bottle and I can’t wear it. Now I look at it with nostalgia, I still like it a lot, but I can’t stand it. So there it is in my collection, admiring the beautiful bottle, hoping that someday I can enjoy it again. If anyone knows why this can happen, I’d appreciate if you told me. Thanks!

I don’t get this fragrance. I love other NR scents, but For Her EDP and EDT feel very scratchy, spicy, aggressive, and a bit animalistic to me 🙁 I want to love it, but I just can’t get used to it.

Beautiful fragrance, elegant, feminine, and versatile. Works for any weather and occasion. Incredible longevity and great sillage. My favorite.

What can I say about this guy? He’s a total hit 😍😍😍. It suits an older woman perfectly, elegant and super sensual. At first, it smells like alcohol, then the rose comes out and takes over everything. It’s an intoxicating blend of elegance and sensuality. The musk lingers and mixes beautifully with the rose. I LOVE IT. On my skin, it lasts 6 to 8 hours. The clone I know is Zara’s Bright Rose; they are identical (what a shame it’s discontinued, I don’t know if they’re making it anymore). Yes, the patchouli takes the lead at the end, but mixed with the rose and sandalwood, it’s a showstopper. In short, it’s a total masterpiece.

Narciso For Her EDP, what a delight; it’s pure sensuality in a bottle. The genius of Francis Kurkdjian and the distinction of Narciso Rodríguez create a simple yet strong elegance. It’s seductive, clean, and sophisticated. The musk with touches of amber and velvet rose, plus a hint of fresh peach, creates that ultra-femininity. It’s a modern classic that gives you confidence; the more I use it, the more I adore it. Projection is medium but noticeable, enveloping you all day. Lasts 7 to 8 hours. The box is pretty and minimalist. Who is it for? Every man in the world.

It’s a great perfume, even though it’s very trendy right now. Now I’m using the Lidl dupe; although it’s not 100% identical, if you spray it twice, you smell like you’re miles away (seriously). When I finish it, I don’t know if I’ll go back to the original or stick with this. It’s not identical, but it could be another variant in the Narciso For Her collection.

I wandered through Zara yesterday; perfume lovers know that smelling and spraying what they offer is almost a professional sport. I found Bright Rose a dupe for NR For Her and I brought it home for two reasons: first my NR is running low and this Zara one will fill the gap nicely until… you know not everyone can afford it all the time. The second reason is the sheer joy of comparing them throughout the day. What great news! They’re super similar almost 99.99%. The sillage and projection are identical though the NR lasts a bit longer about 9 hours on the skin. This NR is amazing because every time I wear it it injects me with energy and positivity; it’s so clean cheerful and elegant that it projects an ethereal purity.

I tested the perfume at Palacio de Hierro and thought it was excellent for layering. I bought it but when I tried it at home it smelled like human skin—something sexual with flowers and talcum powder. I regretted it a bit because I planned to wear it to work but with so much sensuality it doesn’t work too well there. It’s best for cool temperatures; I wouldn’t recommend it for very hot summers as it would amplify its seductive nature unless you’re trying to seduce someone who gets close to you.

I smelled it for the first time yesterday and on my skin it smells terrible like rubber. I suppose it’s my skin but try it before buying blindly.

At first it smells great—musk and clean—then it turns into roses and feels like a daily office perfume. But in its dry down… it smells a bit like rubber and plastic to me and after 20 minutes I almost have no scent left. It disappointed me quite a bit.

I just want to recommend to anyone planning to buy this perfume to check it against the light (even with your phone flashlight pressed against the bottle) to see if it’s full because I’m sure mine isn’t. I have one that I considered almost full out of 100ml because I haven’t used it much but I’ve used the Musc Noir a lot which has transparent glass and today I saw that the For Her Edp is at the same level as the Musc Noir. That can’t be right; I’m sure they aren’t giving us the 100ml they sell. I’d already heard rumors that the painted Narciso bottles came with less content and now I’ve confirmed it just like a girl down here. It’s unfair that besides being an expensive product they pull our leg by giving us less than we pay for. It’s unjust and a fraud. I’m furious and without a doubt their perfumes will no longer be a priority for repurchase in my collection; if anything I’ll replace one or two but not the whole collection and especially not if I can’t see what they’re selling me.
