Fragrance Review: Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau De Parfum

Because we have been thinking: “Narciso Rodriguez … we like him, right?”

What Narciso Rodriguez says: “Musc is at the heart of For Her Eau de Parfum. The fragrant harmony of the musc expressed itself through three pulsations; pink floral, soft amber, and voluptuous woods. It develops gently, slowly rounding out into the warm tones, dusted in a soft, velvety sensuality.”

What we say: Maybe we’re just not high class enough to dig the subtlety, but this made no impact on us whatsoever—and it was gone, completely absent from our skin, within a practically shocking 20 minutes.

The packaging: Love it, love it, love it. We do like the black eau de toilette even more.

The smell: They say: “a rare weave of pink floral with hints of rose and peach pulp as well as soft amber and wood in pastel tones.” But honestly, it smelled like flowers, and then it smelled like nothing. We especially don’t understand all the references to Egypt—we haven’t been there, but we bet it smelled like something … unlike this perfume.

Our grade: C-, and that’s just because we like the pretty bottle.
