For Her Musc Noir: Narciso Rodriguez's new perfume Narciso Rodriguez is an American fashion designer of Cuban descent who has traveled the world to forge an inimitable style. Year after year, he reinvents women's silhouettes, making them ever elegant and refined.
In 2021, designer Narciso Rodriguez offers a new variation on his cult perfume. For Her becomes For Her Musc Noir. Presented in the timeless Narciso Rodriguez bottle, rectangular in shape and stripped of anything superfluous, this juice is a new portrait that expresses everything a woman is, while revealing her as more shadowy and mysterious than ever. At the source of this perfume is Egyptian musk. But how does Narciso Rodriguez manage to reinvent it to deliver a new ode to mysterious nature and sensuality? A closer look at its composition.
The fruity and sweet top notes of For Her Musc Noir
First and foremost, Narciso Rodriguez seeks to whet our appetite. For this, it relies on fruit. Here, For Her Musc Noir opens on a strong plum scent. This appears like a sweet marmalade, which awakens the senses and appears very appetizing. Moreover, through its sweet side, the plum in For Her Musc Noir clearly rides the current trends. Indeed, for several years now, many women have been turning to gourmand scents. For Her Musc Noir manages to find the right balance, appearing as a tender treat without tipping over into excessive sweetness.
The musky and floral heart of For Her Musc Noir
At its heart, and as its name indicates, For Her Musc Noir relies on Egyptian musk. Indeed, this is Narciso Rodriguez's favorite raw material. Moreover, the designer himself wears it in oil form, like a talisman, hung permanently around his neck. Once again, he thus relies on its captivating power to win over our hearts. This time, however, it is accompanied by a floral bouquet. For Her Musc Noir contains rose, an emblematic flower in women's perfumery. Note, however, that it is not the one that dominates. Here, the main floral note is rather heliotrope, a flower that evolves according to the position of the sun and gives off a soft breath, almost almondy and close to vanilla. With such a trio, For Her Musc Noir is a true enchantment.
The animalic base of For Her Musc Noir
Then, gradually, For Her Musc Noir darkens. It is therefore in its base notes that its more shadowy and mysterious side appears. Moreover, Narciso Rodriguez depicts the portrait of a seductive and animalic woman. Utterly untamable, she leaves behind a breath of suede, an ideal raw material for texturing and structuring the whole of this composition. The suede in For Her Musc Noir is also combined with a leather accord, like velvet gliding over women's skin with depth and intensity.
