Narciso Rodriguez dares a slightly transformed bottle
For Narciso Eau de Parfum Cristal, Narciso Rodriguez decides to somewhat transform his usual bottle. The transformation is immediately noticeable, as soon as the visual for this feminine essence appears. While the silhouette of this juice remains the same, for the very first time, Narciso Rodriguez dares to part with his opaque interior lacquer. Yet this is one of his trademarks. This time, its heart is tinted pink. However, it lets light through and becomes only more radiant. Its reflections are subtle, which gives it an even greater femininity. For the rest, its cubic shape endures. Its proportions are perfect. This glass cube alone conveys all the architectural beauty and creative excellence of the house of Narciso Rodriguez.
Narciso Eau de Parfum Cristal by Narciso Rodriguez, an evocation of light
If Narciso Rodriguez has now chosen transparency, it is simply because this fragrance evokes light and women's natural radiance. It pays tribute to the power of seduction and to all those who, through their extra charm, attract every desire. As the designer explains so well, Narciso Eau de Parfum Cristal reflects the inner light of woman, just as the facets of a crystal radiate light to reveal her natural beauty. This fragrance immerses us in a luxurious world. It pays tribute to the power of seduction while being steeped in romanticism. By extension, it echoes the myth of Narcissus and the mysterious workings of attraction.
When Narciso Rodriguez's emblematic musk becomes more floral
Narciso Eau de Parfum Cristal does not depart from Narciso Rodriguez's tradition and is built, like its predecessors, around the animalic, seductive scent of musk. In this sense, it does not really create surprise, even though this ingredient still captivates us just as much with its sensuality and richness. On the other hand, Narciso Rodriguez's musk takes on a more feminine aura than ever. It is paired with a generous bouquet of white flowers containing rose, jasmine, orange blossom and freesia. Its base, meanwhile, is downier and more comforting. The delicate woods are enhanced by the ambery aspect of cedar. For added softness, it is also paired with cashmere wood.
