The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012, Essence Eau de Musc Fresh Iridescent Eau Fraîche by Narciso Rodriguez is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that balances powdery musk with vibrant floral notes. The top note of citruses provides a refreshing burst, while the heart of iris flower and white musk offers an intricate blend of softness and warmth. Rose petals add a touch of elegance, settling into a base of earthy amber that grounds the composition without overpowering it.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly; the citruses are bright but fleeting, while the powdery and floral notes develop gradually. One or two sprays will provide a lasting, nuanced scent that evolves throughout the day.
