Narciso Rodriguez
Musc Noir EDP
“Dark plum and warm suede — the fragrance equivalent of a knowing glance.”
The take
What works
- ●Suede-musk base takes the house's musk signature in a darker direction
- ●Suede-plum opening adds intrigue without confusion
- ●Compelling evening and cold-weather option
Trade-offs
- ●Soft projection doesn't quite live up to the 'Noir' framing
- ●Wrong for daytime or warm months
