QUICK REVIEW

Narciso Rodriguez has always struck me as a designer with a very clear point of vision. He executes in his couture, and with the fragrances his brand offers, a purity of design that feels utterly natural and entirely complex. His perfumes come as scented colour blocks – totems of femininity and masculinity that capture the essence of the sexes, from their cores to their eccentric nuances. Rodriguez has an innate understanding of the human form and he has worked with some of the industry’s finest noses to create a wardrobe of scents that dress the wearer in sublime finery. for her, Narciso Rodriguez’s debut fragrance has taken its place in the annals of the Perfume Hall of Fame, and is somewhat of an icon at this point. Perfumers Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian reinvented the age-old chypre in for her, and created a modern fragrance with a vintage feel, replacing mosses with musks to fashion something pretty, yet abstract. For 2015, Narciso Rodriguez is launching a brand new interpretation of for her entitled ‘L’absolu’. and this time he is spoiling us with something a little bit more luxurious, and with a bit more ‘body’ – a fragrance that is simply intoxicating.
