Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Toilette


The first and original Narciso Rodriguez For Her is an Eau de Toilette. It’s a clean musk complimented by osmanthus and African orange flower fragrance. The floral notes are delicate and fresh.

What’s great about Narciso Rodriguez For Her is the lasting power; the projection and longevity of this perfume is really fantastic.

It wraps the wearing in a smooth feminine musky floral which is classy and refreshing.

I’d recommend Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Toilette for the office or any serious workplace. The classiness of the fragrance makes it suitable for professional environments.

I also think this could be worn during the day as a general everyday feminine scent which you can rely on to last.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Parfum


Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Parfum is a softer take on the fragrance.

There is a prominent rose note which works really well with the musk to add a soft floral feel to the perfume.

A peach is added as a new top note but this isn’t a dominant scent.

The patchouli in the base agains helps this last really well, all-being in a softer more subtle way than the Eau de Parfum.

The pink bottle of the Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Parfum is sold in a black box, and the black bottle of the Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Toilette is sold in a pink box. It’s easy to pick the wrong one from the shelf so always double check!

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Forever


Released in 2023 to mark the 20th anniversary of the release of Narciso Rodriguez For Her, the Forever version feels like a combination of the original Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum. There is a slightly peachy feel to the dry down which I don’t get from the original versions. Narciso Rodriguez For Her Forever doesn’t have the sharpness of the Eau de Toilette or the rose of the Eau de Parfum, so I think its a nice new addition but isn’t different enough to warrant owning it as well as the others.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Fleur Musc


Narciso Rodriguez For Her Fleur Musc majors on the rose fragrance note. We still see the signature musc scent of the Narciso Rodriguez For Her range but with lots more floral vibes.

In addition to lots of rose, there is a pretty fresh peony note along with a hint of violet.

This is definitely one for fans of musk or rose. If you like the original Narciso Rodriguez For Her I think you’d like Narciso Rodriguez For Her Fleur Musc.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Fleur Musc Florale


Narciso Rodriguez For Her Fleur Musc Eau de Toilette is a lighter and simpler version of the Eau de Parfum.

A fresh bergamot has been added as a new top note, but the peony has been removed as has the violet note.

This fragrance feels simple and light and I’m not sure it was entirely necessary. Personally I’d recommend going for the Eau de Parfum version.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Noir


Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Noir is a quite different fragrance to the original Narciso Rodriguez For Her.

There is of course the signature musk note in the mix, but predominantly this is a suede and heliotrope fragrance, with a spicy plum added in.

This is a fragrance for fans of oriental perfumes, and particularly heliotrope lovers.

It’s quite a divisive scent; I think you’d either love it or hate it.

Since its recent release it has proved a popular fragrance, selling well.

There are two Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Noir Gift Sets which can be nice ways to get additional products for less than they cost to buy them individually.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Noir Rose


2022 saw the release of the new Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Noir Rose. The fragrances has a stronger pink liquid when compared to the original Musc Noir, and its definitely more of a ‘pink’ scent.

Where as Musc Noir is deep and oriental, Musc Noir Rose is fresh and pretty. It starts with a fresh Bergamot top note and then flows into a feminine Pink Pepper, Rose and Tuberose heart. Of course, the signature Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc scent is very much one of the main notes as well, and as the fragrance fades it reveals a slightly Vanilla musky undertone.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc


Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc is the ultimate musk fragrance.

Clean, simple and classy, this is a pure version of the original.

The scent notes are very simple, just a pure musk scent alongside a cashmere floral heart.

Perfect for relaxing on the sofa at home, or a great fragrance to turn to for a clean, professional vibe when you’re not sure what to wear.

You can also use Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc to layer with other fragrances, if you’d like to add a musk note to another perfume. I also recommend checking out my article on the Best Musk Perfumes.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc l’Absolu


Put quite simply, this Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc l’Absolu is Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc with ylang-ylang and jasmine added.

I find this quite different to the original Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc because of these floral notes; they take away from the clean simple musk scent and make this more similar to the original Narciso Rodriguez For Her.

I think this perfume would be best for big ylnag-ylang or jasmine fans who don’t want a floral musk but don’t want the rose which is in the original Narciso Rodriguez For Her .

Narciso Rodriguez For Her L’Absolu


Narciso Rodriguez For Her L’Absolu was a popular release, providing a slightly stronger take on the original Eau de Parfum scent.

Tuberose, jasmine, and a patchouli base accompany the signature musk scent making this creamier than the original.

There is also an amber note added to the base which again helps add warmth and longevity to the fragrance.

Although now discontinued it can still be found online.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Rose Musc


I’ve noticed that Narciso Rodriguez have started doing more and more oriental versions of their signature Narciso Rodriguez For Her.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Rose Musc is a spicy rose (not a soft rose like the original Eau de Parfum).

There are lots of oriental gourmand ingredients in the fragrance including; cloves, saffron, black pepper, and cinnamon.

These are underpinned by a strong woody patchouli base.

All these strong fragrance notes means Narciso Rodriguez For Her Rose Musc is very good for lasting. I highlight recommend it for fans of spicy fragrances.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Patchouli Musc


Narciso Rodriguez For Her Patchouli Musc is a recent release which was launched in the UK as a Harrods exclusive.

This is another strong spicy patchouli fragrance. I think this could easily be a gender neutral fragrance suitable for any fans of spicy perfumes.

I find Narciso Rodriguez For Her Patchouli Musc incredibly strong and amazing for lasting. It is quite pricey but you are getting value for money through the projection and longevity so it’s worth the investment if you love the perfume.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Amber Musc


Narciso Rodriguez For Her Amber Musc is a strong oud fragrance suitable for men or women.

Along with an incredibly strong oud and woody scent, there is some incense, amber, and a leathery undertone which make this fragrance feel quite serious.

I think this would be ideal for winter time but much too heavy for summer.

Oud perfumes can be expensive so this is a a relatively affordable way of getting a high quality oud fragrance you can trust.

Definitely one for fans of oud or leather fragrances.. (I really thin it should be called Oud Musc not Amber Musc!)

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Santal Musc


Narciso Rodriguez For Her Santal Musc is a woody cardamon scent, again suitable for men and women.

The fragrance feels luxurious and classy but it is a heavy perfume so only for those who really want a strong fragrance.

Cardamon is of course a cooking ingredient as well as a perfume ingredient, so the scent has an almost edible feel to it, like you could eat it.

I’ve heard Narciso Rodriguez For Her Santal Musc likened to Tom Ford Rose Prick but perhaps a bit more unisex.
