Narciso Eau De Parfum Poudrée by Narciso Rodriguez Narciso is an uncommon name that inevitably evokes the Narcissus of mythology. This resolutely romantic myth is an inexhaustible source of narrative inspiration. Such are the words of Narciso Rodriguez himself when speaking of his first name.
Narciso Rodriguez's first fragrance, For Her, released in 2003, is a genuine tribute to his friend Carolyn Kennedy, who died tragically along with her husband. It was thanks to the dress he had created for Carolyn's wedding that the Cuban-American designer first drew attention. Following the success of his fragrance, Narciso Rodriguez continued on this momentum, notably with Narciso Poudrée, which was launched in 2016. As its name suggests, it is more powdery, but also more sensual and more velvety. Feminine and ultra-contemporary, Narciso Poudrée is built on the beauty of musks.
Musk crafted by Aurélien Guichard
To create this woody-floral-musky fragrance, Narciso Rodriguez called on perfumer Aurélien Guichard. Within the Guichard family, talent is passed down from generation to generation, as Aurélien is the 7th generation of perfumers. Aurélien Guichard delights in creating elaborate and original fragrances. Regarding Narciso Poudrée, Aurélien Guichard states that with musk, vetiver and woods, discovering the main ingredients, one might think it was a men's fragrance. For him, Narciso Poudrée is a little floral, a little amber, a little woody, with the vibrant facet of cedar and the warmth of vetiver, adding that the formulation is simple, yet the scent is very multifaceted. The bottle, similar to that of its predecessor, this time features a nude shade. This evokes both the softness of fair skin and the rice powder used by grandmothers, with its ultra powdery tonality whose scent lingers in the bathroom long after...
The extreme allure of Narciso Poudrée's notes
Narciso Rodriguez thus wanted a velvety, sensual and powerful fragrance. Narciso Poudrée opens on ultra-feminine Bulgarian rose, echoing his first fragrance, For Her. The heart of Narciso Poudrée is meant to be not only sensual, but powerful, opulent and overwhelming. Indeed, it combines sambac jasmine and the luminosity of orange blossom with musks. The base is enveloping with amber woods and cedar, but also warm and woody with the presence of vetiver, patchouli and coumarin. The sillage leaves behind a delightfully sensual tonality.
Following the success of his first fragrance, For Her, Narciso Rodriguez continued on this momentum. After several reinterpretations, he presented Narciso Poudrée in 2016. Naturally, the fragrance is more powdery than the original, but also more powerful, more velvety and above all more feminine. Built around musk, Narciso Poudrée is a composition unlike any other.
