Bleu Noir, a fragrance between mystery and seduction Narciso Rodriguez is a designer very close to the feminine universe. Indeed, he creates sumptuous outfits for women, including chic and elegant dresses.
In 2007, Narciso Rodriguez created a masculine fragrance named For Him, a kind of more virile echo to his previous fragrance For Her. With For Him, I wanted a fragrance whose identity would be strong enough to surprise and seduce. A fragrance impossible to ignore, without being intrusive or aggressive. For Him is above all the essence of mystery. Whether you wear it or smell it, whether you like it or not, it makes you react, explained the designer at the time of its release. This time, while its DNA remains the same, For Him gains a new, spicier facet and becomes For Him Bleu Noir. Let us take a closer look at its composition.
Musk, Narciso Rodriguez's star ingredient
For Him Bleu Noir is not diametrically opposed to its predecessors, quite the contrary. In fact, it above all preserves the designer's star ingredient: musk. Widely used in perfumery, musk is usually employed in the base notes of fragrances. Here, it reveals its full scope and richness in the heart of this composition. In For Him Bleu Noir, the aim of the musk is to evoke a scent dear to Narciso Rodriguez: that of a precious Egyptian oil. Its carnal and animalic vibration gives this scent an incredible sensuality. For Him Bleu Noir sends a shiver from its very first breath and is not designed to leave anyone indifferent. It invites closeness and could almost be called erotic.
The spicy top notes of For Him Bleu Noir
While the musk heart of For Him Bleu Noir strongly recalls that of its predecessors, its top notes, on the other hand, are quite different. This time, it is above all a matter of spices. Nutmeg is paired with cardamom. Thus, Narciso Rodriguez opts for two contrasting spices, one being rather cool while the other is warmer and incandescent. The result is an immediate explosion of flavors. From its very first breath, For Him Bleu Noir grips us. It immediately becomes captivating and invites further discovery. For Him Bleu Noir by Narciso Rodriguez captures attention, so much so that it becomes impossible to let go of it. A single desire overwhelms us: to unravel its mystery.
A woody and smooth flavor to close For Him Bleu Noir
Little by little, For Him Bleu Noir asserts its virility. The spicy sensuality gives way to a more woody base. Moreover, the designer chose here to head toward a very dark base. The woods chosen are among the most masculine in the perfumer's entire palette. For Him Bleu Noir combines the darkness of ebony with the drier scent of cedar and vetiver. To soften the whole and preserve a certain harmony, it should be noted that For Him Bleu Noir is still wrapped in amber.
