"All perfumes are about sex! " a European perfumer once told me. I was, but still am, doubtful. Sure, Axe body spray might be about sex - however Narciso Rodriguez's second fragrance offering, Narciso, offers proof that a scent could be sensual without being about sex.
Just as a fashion critic would never describe Narciso Rodriguez as a skin-baring designer, a perfume critic would never describe Narciso as a pores and skin scent. It doesn't have quite the blaze as his first fragrance break hit, For Her. If For Her is 90 degrees, Narciso feels like 60 levels. The first suggestion of coolness comes from the shape of the bottle, which resembles the white sculpture. "I'm obsessed with cubes, " the designer told the Cut. (The bottle's minimalist ivory color was inspired by the smooth white stones observed on the designer's vacation to Cyprus. )
Although Narciso feels cool, it doesn't really feel cold. Its warmth comes from a similar musk base with woody vetiver, ruby, and dark and white cedars. There are delicate notes of gardenia as well as Bulgarian rose, but these give the fragrance more of a powdery top note than a flower one. Like a white Narciso Rodriguez dress, the heat equation of the scent is actually balanced so that it never feels too virginal, sweet, or sultry. The aroma feels like a sculpture in the Greek and Roman Art section of the City Museum of Art come to life. Model Raquel Zimmermann (who takes a pose such as Miley Cyrus's in Vanity Fair) embodies this idea in the video for your scent, in which the camera hovers around her sculpted curves.
