The story behind the bottle.
Essence in Color by Narciso Rodriguez was launched in 2011, offering a sophisticated blend that captures the essence of refined femininity. The fragrance opens with a powdery and earthy note, setting the stage for its floral heart composed of iris and rose. These delicate florals are complemented by the warmth of musk and amber, creating a harmonious balance between softness and depth.
Apply this fragrance lightly to pulse points. The powdery top notes will fade within an hour, but the rich base of musk and amber will linger throughout the day, making it ideal for both daytime and evening wear.
