Narciso Rodriguez

Pure Musc

“Like clean skin after a shower — simple, beautiful, and impossible to put your finger on.”

Pure Musc
musky
powdery
woody

Musk is the centerpiece of Pure Musc, Sonia Constant's 2019 addition to Narciso Rodriguez's musk-focused women's range: jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossom soften the heart over cashmeran. Musky accords lead by a wide margin, with powder and soft woods, giving a clean, close composition. The florals stay translucent, sitting behind the musk. A spring daytime scent.
