The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014 by Narciso Rodriguez, Narciso is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women that has carved out a devoted cult following. Created by perfumer Aurélien Guichard, this scent positions itself within the brand’s signature 'skin musk' lineage and is often described as enhancing one's natural aroma rather than making a loud statement. The composition features gardenia and white rose over a base of musk, white cedar extract, cedar, vetiver, and other powdery notes that evoke a sense of comfort and sophistication.
Narciso blooms best close to the skin, so apply it directly onto pulse points for a more intimate experience. The musk base develops slowly, so give it an hour or two before fully appreciating its depth.
