Note Pyramid
For Her
Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Toilette Gift Set holds a fragrance that is really about musk, with two flowers set over the top of it. Osmanthus carries an apricot tone and orange blossom a clean white-floral note, and together they read green and fresh for the first part of the wear. The effect is clean rather than sweet, and what sweetness there is arrives later and comes from the base.
Underneath, the heart is musk and the base is amber and patchouli. The patchouli is earthy and dry, the amber soft and warm, and as the florals thin the two of them leave a powdery musk with a rosy edge to it. That is where the fragrance spends most of its time. The rose quality is an impression created by the musk and amber rather than a note in the list.
Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian composed For Her for its 2003 launch, the first fragrance from Narciso Rodriguez, who had started his label in 1997 with a women's ready-to-wear collection in Milan. Raised in Newark, New Jersey by Cuban parents, he was named CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year in 2002 and 2003. Musc is the material the house builds its scents around.
Long lasting with moderate sillage, it stays on the skin through a working day without reaching far past the wearer. It works all year and across casual, professional and evening wear, spring and summer taking the floral opening well and the amber base holding in autumn and winter. It is sold here as a gift set.
