Rose Musc

However, it remains no less strongly turned toward the Middle East and showcases a rose as alluring as it is elegant.

Narciso Rodriguez's love for musk and the Middle East

Since its launch in perfumery, with the fragrance For Her, Narciso Rodriguez has held a particular love for musk. While it was originally an animalic raw material derived from the secretion of an Asian musk deer, it is now reproduced in the laboratory. It remains no less animalic and thus gives the fragrances that contain it an extraordinary sensuality. This is how Narciso Rodriguez decided to build a fragrance collection around this ingredient. Narciso Rodriguez readily states: Musk has always fascinated me. It has that same natural sensuality that I try to instill in every creation. While For Her was considered a musky and chypre fragrance, Narciso Rodriguez pushed this effect to its peak with For Her Musc Collection. The result was then more floral and more amber than the original fragrance while being less woody. Also, this soft and musky fragrance once again gave way to an entirely new vision of musk: Rose Musc. Its name speaks volumes about its femininity. With the queen of flowers at the center of its composition, it could only be a concentrate of elegance.

A flower as the central element of the new Rose Musc

As its name suggests, this time it is the rose that is placed at the center of the composition of Rose Musc. Perfumery enthusiasts know it well: it is a very famous flower from the Middle East. Nevertheless, as surprising as it may seem to us Europeans, rose is a plant highly appreciated by men there. Thus, Rose Musc possesses this dual ability to please women while seducing men as well. Rose Musc is a resolutely oriental essence, composed for that purpose with numerous spices as well. Thus, this fragrance releases whiffs of cinnamon and clove combined with those of saffron. The latter only enhances the prestige of this essence. Furthermore, it is one of the most expensive ingredients in the world, also called red gold. For added delicacy, Narciso Rodriguez also added peony to the recipe. This only increases the femininity of the fragrance. However, its sillage gradually darkens and grows in intensity. It ends with an assemblage of character based on labdanum and patchouli. The whole is of course housed in Narciso Rodriguez's famous rectangular bottle. However, its inset inner cube is this time tinted with a prestigious gold lacquer.
