Where to buy

Unfortunately, the woman who was his muse died in a tragedy at sea. Narciso Rodriguez, deeply grieved, decided to create a tribute fragrance for her, which he soberly named For Her.

The femininity of Narciso Rodriguez's fragrance

Narciso Rodriguez conceived here a fragrance in the image of his friend. For Her is a juice with an elegant yet spontaneous silhouette. It draws its inspiration from the crossroads of cultures that marked Narciso Rodriguez's life. It travels from Europe to America, delivering a unique style. It is at once being and appearance, the intimacy of femininity and the explosion of an assertive temperament. Moreover, one should not forget that this is a dedication of love and gratitude. Thus, For Her goes well beyond the classic refinement of perfumes. It pays tribute to feminine grace in general, in all its universality. Its aura is thus particularly powerful, and it resonates on the skin like an ode to women. It is a juice conceived with extreme generosity and intense sensuality. Narciso Rodriguez likes to say of his perfume that this portrait expresses everything a woman is: strength, vulnerability, beauty, sensuality and finally depth. It is my very personal and romantic vision, he says, of the imaginary muse who inspires me and allows me to feel what I feel when I create.

The floral elegance of For Her

Two renowned perfumers are behind the creation of For Her, namely Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian. Together, they chose to craft a chypre and green fragrance. Moreover, they incorporated into it a rare ingredient particularly dear to Narciso Rodriguez: Egyptian musk in the form of an oil. Indeed, this essence never left the designer, and it was only logical that he made it the source of inspiration for his first perfume. Likewise, while For Her contains musk, it is entirely reinterpreted. It is paired with the luminosity of orange blossom and osmanthus before being elevated by a large bouquet of fresh, sun-kissed flowers. The whole proves to be very luminous while remaining amber. For Her is a resolutely abstract and contemporary juice. Nevertheless, its sweetness gradually becomes more enveloping. Vanilla adds a touch of warm, exotic smoothness. The woods, for their part, are meant to be tactile and sensual. In this case, femininity gradually becomes more vibrant thanks to the presence of vetiver. The whole is contained in a bottle that has become the emblem of the Narciso Rodriguez house. At once minimalist and highly geometric, it is in fact the result of extraordinary craftsmanship, which even earned Narciso Rodriguez a patent for its interior lacquering.

The advertising

Released in 2006, For Her is the first fragrance by the Cuban-American designer. Because it is a tribute to friendship and eternal attachment, For Her is a perfume of love and femininity. For Her was conceived by Narciso Rodriguez for his friend and muse, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who tragically died along with her husband. For Her is a tribute to an exceptional woman, and its composition rises to the occasion, beautiful and delicate. Romantic and profoundly beautiful, the For Her woman is the embodiment of eternal femininity.

Carmen Kass, the sole face of the For Her campaign

To represent this eternal beauty, Narciso Rodriguez chose Carmen Kass. Born in Estonia in 1978, Carmen Kass came to the capital hoping to try her luck and become a model. In 1997, she appeared on the cover of Vogue and soon became fashion's new favorite. Since then, she has walked the runways for major houses such as Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Prada and Givenchy. In 2000, Carmen Kass was named Model of the Year. Carmen Kass radiates a beauty that is not only innocent, but also carefree and, above all, very pure. If Narciso Rodriguez chose to make Carmen Kass his sole ambassador, it is because she shines and beautifully represents the image of femininity according to the brand's values.

A sensual portrait video for the For Her fragrance

The advertising video for For Her showcases an utterly sensual portrait. Carmen Kass appears on screen, one shoulder bare, head tilted. Her wheat-blond hair is gathered into a soft braid. Facing the For Her bottle, Carmen Kass resembles a Greek goddess. Speaking of his ambassador, Narciso Rodriguez states that Carmen has an intrinsic beauty that is very pure, innocent, sometimes carefree, sensual with a hardness that is erotic… It is not a surface beauty, she has real depth and integrity. Carmen Kass has been Narciso Rodriguez's ambassador for more than 10 years, and he has no intention of changing that. The sublime Estonian embodies the absolute femininity, grace and sensuality that the Cuban-American designer invested in this eternal tribute to his friend Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.

The first fragrance by Narciso Rodriguez, For Her is the olfactory rendering of the couturier's attachment to his late friend Carolyn Kennedy. For more than 10 years, Carmen Kass has beautifully represented beauty and femininity according to Narciso Rodriguez.
