Narciso Rouge

Narciso Rouge is a warm, woody floral from Narciso Rodriguez, released in 2018 and composed by Sonia Constant and Nadège Le Garlantezec. People describe it as woody and floral in equal measure, with about half finding it sweet and a minority noting musk.

The opening pairs iris with Bulgarian rose, so it starts with a cool, powdery and slightly lipstick-like floral tone. In the heart, orange blossom and tuberose bring a creamy, slightly honeyed richness, wrapped in the brand's soft musk. The base is fuller than most of the line: sandalwood and cedar give creamy and dry woods, vanilla and tonka bean add warm sweetness, and vetiver lends a faint earthy edge.

People report moderate to long-lasting wear and a moderate trail. Votes favour autumn and winter and split almost evenly between day and night, so it works for cool-weather office days as well as evenings. It suits someone who wants a sensual, rosy musk with a warmer, sweeter finish.
