Launched in 1923 by Ernest Daltroff for Caron, Narcisse Blanc is a Floral fragrance that epitomizes the elegance and refinement of early 20th-century French perfumery. The composition opens with bright citrus notes — orange blossom and neroli — creating an immediate sense of freshness and clarity. This light-hearted beginning gives way to a heart of jasmine and tincture of rose, which adds depth and complexity without overpowering the initial brightness. As it settles into its base, Narcisse Blanc reveals powdery, woody, and musky accords that create a warm, enveloping embrace.

Application Tips
Narcisse Blanc has a relatively short sillage but long-lasting notes, so apply it close to your pulse points for best effect. It reads better as a close-to-skin scent rather than one that fills a room, making it perfect for daytime wear where its powdery warmth can be appreciated without being overwhelming.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where the air is filled with subtle hints of citrus and powdery florals.
