About Narcosis
Narcosis: A Floral Oriental with a Spicy Edge
Narcosis is the unisex fragrance from The Virtue that arrived in 2021. It belongs to the floral oriental family and was composed by perfumer Brooke Lean.
It opens with Sichuan pepper, peony, and rose. The heart is powdery, with geranium, saffron, and musk, while the base rests on patchouli, ambergris, and clove.
From the first spray, Sichuan pepper gives a bright, spicy tingle that is soon rounded out by the lush softness of peony and rose. The transition feels natural: the floral opening melts into a heart where saffron and geranium add an aromatic edge and powdery notes smooth everything over.
The musk and powdery textures give Narcosis a velvety feel on the skin, making it intimate rather than loud. Then patchouli emerges, earthy and heady, joined by ambergris and clove for a warm, oriental drydown that lingers.
The fragrance’s main accords include warm spicy, rose, fresh spicy, powdery, floral, patchouli, musky, amber, herbal, and fresh. That covers a lot of ground, and it shows: Narcosis shifts from spicy brightness to deep, resinous warmth.
Brooke Lean’s composition is designed for men and women, and its balance has been well received. It currently holds an average rating of 4.5 out of 5, based on two reviews.
Perfect for fans of unisex floral orientals who like contrast—especially those who enjoy spicy openings, powdery hearts, and a patchouli-rich base. If you’re drawn to fragrances that feel fresh and warm at once, this one is worth exploring.
Narcosis delivers a confident floral oriental: spicy at first, powdery in the middle, and deep at the base. A thoughtfully made release from The Virtue that deserves a skin test.
