For Her
The scent in the Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Parfum Gift Set is musk first and everything else second. Peach opens it with a soft fruity sweetness and rose adds a powdery floral note, but both are there to set up the centre rather than to hold your attention.
That centre is musk, warm and powdery and close to the skin, and it is what people recognise the fragrance by. Patchouli and amber form the base and give it weight, the patchouli earthy and faintly woody, the amber sweet and resinous, together producing the warm spicy depth that keeps the musk from feeling thin. The arc goes from a brief fruity floral top to a long musky stretch to a woody amber close.
Narciso Rodriguez launched his label in 1997 with a women's ready-to-wear collection in Milan, and the fragrance line followed with for her in 2003. Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey to Cuban parents, he won CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year in 2002 and 2003, the first designer to take it in consecutive years. The house builds its scents around a heart of musc, and nothing shows that more plainly than this one. The Eau de Parfum arrived in 2006, composed by Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian.
Moderate longevity and moderate sillage make it an intimate scent that stays near the wearer, so it reads as personal rather than announced. Autumn and winter suit it best, though it works year round, and it fits a night out, the office and casual wear. It comes as a gift set.
