Narciso Rodriguez is a couturier and perfumer as intriguing as he is fascinating. With him, women are at the center of all attention. An unalterable source of inspiration, she is a muse to whom he strives to pay tribute regularly. It all began in 2003, with the creation of a perfume named For Her, an ode to femininity, containing Narciso Rodriguez's favorite ingredient: Egyptian musk. Since its release, For Her has continued to transform year after year, as if to depict different facets of feminine personality. Once again, it returns to the forefront in 2021. This time, it becomes For Her Musc Noir. Here is our review of this feminine fragrance.
What critics say
For Her Musc Noir, a musk that is now darker and more shadowy
Like all the perfumes in the For Her collection, For Her Musc Noir is built around Egyptian musk. Some will say this does not really create a surprise. Others, however, will point out that this is precisely Narciso Rodriguez's signature. On the other hand, everyone agrees that the musk in For Her Musc Noir is quite different from its predecessors. More than ever, it darkens, giving rise to a more mysterious and sensual personality. From then on, it only asks to be discovered. This more enigmatic side only awakens our curiosity. Once again, For Her Musc Noir pays tribute to femininity. It is a new declaration of love and recognition toward women, so many muses who continue to inspire Narciso Rodriguez.
For Her Musc Noir, a perfume like velvet
So what elements make up For Her Musc Noir to reveal such a personality? First of all, it contains plum. Gourmand and very appetizing, it immediately awakens our senses. The plum in For Her Musc Noir is like a soft marmalade, playing perfectly with the register of sweet fragrances, very much in vogue at present. Then, at its heart, musk is accompanied by rose, an emblematic flower of feminine perfumery. Nevertheless, it is not the one that dominates. For Her Musc Noir more broadly uses heliotrope, a soft flower, giving off an almondy breath of vanilla, absolutely intoxicating. Little by little, For Her Musc Noir becomes more sensual and seductive. For this, it incorporates a suede accord combined with leather. Like a second skin, it glides over the woman's body with sensuality and intensity.
The timeless bottle of Narciso Rodriguez
From then on, all that remains is to discover the bottle of For Her Musc Noir. Unsurprisingly, it takes up the rectangular silhouette of its predecessors. This time, however, its color scheme changes. To show the full duality of its character, it incorporates a pale pink heart, a token of softness and tenderness. This faces an opaque black cap, much more shadowy. Visually, the bottle of For Her Musc Noir is in perfect harmony with the fragrance it contains. It beautifully symbolizes being and appearing, what is perceived of feminine personality and what it really is.
