Musc Noir For Her

Absolute favorite for the last three years for me. Have been complimented so many times by both women and men, and have been asked what perfume am I wearing by random girls/women on the street at least five times. Such a signature fragrance for me; it's both floral and leathery, not really that sweet despite the plum, quite sensual and feminine, both office and date-night friendly at the same time. Very memorable scent that is being associated with me by my friends and close ones. The only drawback for me is how fast it's gone, since you need to spray quite a few times to make sure it stays and lasts (at least for me). I've been trying to find a similar scent, maybe a little bit more budget-friendly, but failed so far.

On the search for an autumn fragrance, after discovering how horrid La Vie est Belle Elixir was I decided to buy this blind. I own and love NR's Poudree and have liked two other of his perfumes I've sampled. Although I was a little concerned about the rather simple olfactory structure of Musc Noir, my fears were unfounded – it's gorgeous! To me, it's the perfect balance of fruit, flower and musk. Heliotrope is one of my favourites and this is just a lovely, soft, feminine scent, yet with a surprising depth and hint of sultriness: at first, I thought the 'Noir' was a little bit of a misnomer, but it does actually fit and this would see you from day through to night. Highly recommended (as is Poudree).

such a simple combinations of notes, but what a heavy hitter. its a very easy, crowd pleasing plum and musk skin scent. it's not revolutionary, but every time i wear it i get compliments, especially from men. smells kind of intimate, like you have creamy, moisturized and dewy skin that naturally just smells really pretty. i feel like if it matches with your skin chemistry, it becomes a much better and unique thing of it's own. i love the understated side of this scent, much much prefer this over Musc Noir Rose. one of my favorites, i reach for this when i don't know what to wear. will forever be a staple in my collection.

I am a bit of a niche snob, with a 50+ perfume collection. But if I was after a designer signature scent, this could well be the front runner! Sure, the longevity and projection leaves much to be desired. But, that softness means you could get away with it for daily wear. Yet, it has a mature, feminine elegance that means you could also wear it out in the evenings. A powdery, clean musk that is both clean and sexy in equal measure. I know everyone lost it for Musc Noir Rose, its sweeter more popular sister, but personally I prefer Musc Noir and its sophisticated scent resonates with me more!

Narciso Rodriguez is the ultimate king of perfume. The heliotope in this rich, velvety number is exquisite and is genuinely ethereal. Absolutely magnetic, sexy and alluring with all the musky magic one expects from the great man himself. Remarkable and so addictive. The longevity is astoundingly good, I can smell this on me the next day and if you spray on your clothes you'll smell this until you wash them. This is extremely decadent, one of the very best examples of how perfume should be done. Show me a better producer of perfumes and I'll show you a horse with wings.
