For Her, the new eau de parfum by Narciso Rodriguez. Narciso Rodriguez is an American couturier of Cuban descent who owes his fame not only to his talent but also to his friend Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. It was he who designed her famous wedding dress, which appeared on the cover of one of the world's greatest magazines.
For Her is Narciso Rodriguez's best-known composition, but also his first. A true tribute to Carolyn Kennedy, his friend who died tragically, For Her carries a message of eternal affection. For Her is also an ultra-feminine fragrance that reveals both the sensuality of women, as well as their softness and fragility. Built around Egyptian musk, For Her is a composition signed by a duo, Francis Kurkdjian and Christine Nagel.
For Her is a tribute to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy created by a highly talented duo of perfumers
To create the tribute to his friend and muse, Narciso Rodriguez chose Francis Kurkdjian and Christine Nagel. Born in 1959 in Geneva, Christine Nagel began her career at Firmenich. She created her first olfactory notes under the direction of Michel Almairac, and her first fragrance, Eau de Cartier, propelled her into the spotlight. Her compositions highlight natural ingredients and combine unlikely blends. Her talent has been recognized several times, notably with a Fifi Award in 2005. Christine Nagel is responsible for magnificent fragrances such as The One by Dolce & Gabbana or Elle L'aime by Lolita Lempicka. Francis Kurkdjian succeeded in entering the prestigious perfumery school, ISIPCA. Upon graduating, Francis Kurkdjian had the opportunity to create Le Mâle, the first and by no means minor fragrance for Jean-Paul Gaultier. Every fragrance by Francis Kurkdjian is created with rigor, elegance and boldness. Francis Kurkdjian particularly enjoys reinterpreting perfumery classics. He is a perfumer who has also received several awards, notably the Coty Award. Francis Kurkdjian is responsible for exceptional fragrances such as Rumeur by Lanvin, or Kenzo World by Kenzo.
Egyptian musk, at the heart of Narciso Rodriguez For Her, the Eau de Parfum
For Her is defined as a luminous chypre. Its composition is both elegant and sensual, built around a heart brimming with Egyptian musk. It should be noted that ancient Egypt was a great consumer of scents and perfumes. Olfactory scents were used both to enhance beauty and as part of religious rituals. Originally, musk was an animal material. The scent known as musk comes more precisely from the secretion of a gland, that of the musk deer. Unfortunately, this practice was banned since obtaining the scent required killing the animal. Today musk is reproduced synthetically. In perfumery, musk gives off sweet, warm, intoxicating and ultra sensual tones. Egyptian musk is a more powerful, captivating musk, offering vanilla tones that soften it. Here, Egyptian musk brings an extroverted sensuality that blends harmoniously with other oriental ingredients such as orange blossom and osmanthus. The base of For Her is, of course, sensual, combining sandalwood and Egyptian musk.
The first fragrance by the Cuban-American couturier, For Her is presented here as an Eau de Parfum. For Her is not only a tribute of infinite affection, but also an ode to femininity.
