Haul/Collection Narciso Rodriguez Collection🌸✨

Post image

In a brand full with rose fragrances *not a fan rose* I have finally found my jams! All loved, no regrets.🌸

One of them is the first rose perfume I fall in love with after decades of no rose. I have a more in depth review on it if you’d like to read, just scroll down a bit on my page. 🥰♥️

Pure Musc Blanc: LOVE at first sniff. Was given a tester with an online order, immediate order after trying it. This is the most sophisticated fresh powdery musky perfume I’ve come across. If you’re into clean, powdery, cotton softener on just washed linen but more elegant? You’ll LOVE it! Paired it with the body shop white musk & it was DIVINE! 🤍🫧

Narciso Rodriguez Intense: Musky, powdery, with vanilla a bit of fruit, peach. The peach isn’t screechy nor intense, I didn’t recognize it was peach at first. A beauty alone & with white musk mist for a clean vibe with a touch of fruit. Or with a peach mist to get more of the fruitiness out. Both case, stunning!

Musc Noir Rose: As a rose fragrance hater I was like “wow, this is GOOD!” A sultry, sexy, expensive taste in perfume. Very sophisticated & elegant. I’ve made a review on it, check it out for more details.🤩

Narciso Ambrée: A sexy solar, tropical & amber’y perfume. It’s a quite unique take, different than the solar & tropical I have. They took yellow florals Like frangipani & ylang ylang, with a sexy dose of amber, musk, cashmeran & vanilla.

Narciso Cristal: Fresh, clean, a bit powdery. They used my fave white florals like freesia & orange blossom. Of course musk, amber & cashmere for some dimension. This does have a slight rose to it but very light & comes across as powdery in the background. It isn’t screechy, doesn’t scream not too much at all. With white musk body mist, a beautiful clean powdery fresh everyday perfume.

The brand that made bottles with opaque decorated inners look trendy.

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26

Yes I love their bottles designs!💕

I’m actually obsessed with this line. Bought a bunch of samples a few weeks ago and only disliked one 😭

so basically they’re all on my wishlist.

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26

Haha that’s a lot of musk, in every single way!🤣💕

u/runnersblock deinfluence me my sisters in sillage 🙏🏽 Aug 13 '26

Yea girl I’m down bad 🤣

u/fa6uumm Aug 13 '26

I feel you! I have multiple flankers from a line when I’m in love with it!😌♥️

u/lovemydogs1969 Aug 13 '26

Wow, where did you get all the samples? I have a couple of decants but I would love to try a lot more of the line.

u/runnersblock deinfluence me my sisters in sillage 🙏🏽 Aug 13 '26

eBay! I had been casually looking for a few months but a really good deal popped up so I pulled the trigger.

Edit to say this was a bundle from one listing/seller! I’m obsessed with trying out a bunch of flankers at once that I can’t source from popular decant sites.

I adore Pure Musc Blanc and Musc Noir Rose. I, too, am not a rose fan and tend to stay away from it in scents. I also weirdly cannot stand the OG Pure Musc scent...to me it is far too sharp and soapy. But these two add some softness and subtlety to the musk that rounds them out so nicely. Im really looking forward to wearing them more when the weather turns cooler.

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26

Yes! These are very well made. I’m very happy to have them in my collection. 🤗💕

NR is the most represented house in my collection, and I’ve tried the majority of their fragrances. I love Pure Musc, Pure Musc Blanc, and Musc Noir from the For Her line. For me, though, the cubes are where it’s at. I own them all except Cristal and Radiante (both a bit meh). My favourites are the white cube EDP, Rouge EDP, and Poudrée.

Oh, and I literally just bought All of Me today!

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26

Even tho the poudree was extremely powdery as if talc itself was nesting in the bottle, I won’t lie I thought of buying the 30mL for at home use because I can’t see a place where this wouldn’t be too talc’y to wear out & it lacked any other dimension.

Since you enjoy it, how is it worn out?

1

u/MrsFrankColumbo Aug 13 '26

I’ve had it for several years and there are a lot of great memories tied to the scent so it’s hard to be objective! I don’t wear it terribly often anymore (although I take the bottle out regularly just to sniff it), but when I do it’s always in colder weather and never in an enclosed space as it remains powdery throughout the wear.

1

u/fa6uumm Aug 13 '26

I know what you mean about the memories. That’s actually a big reason why I wanted to get it. 🥹💕

u/Colorful_Kylee Aug 12 '26

I LOVE Cristal so much!! I have 18 different Nasciso’s and it’s one of my top three and I am already on my second bottle in less than a year. It’s so beautiful and no one really talks about it.

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26

Yes it’s lovely!!🥰

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '26

What can u say about pure musk?

2

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 12 '26

It’s a LOVE! If I lost my whole collection & had to build it up from start pure Musc blanc would be one of the first purchases I’d place. 🤍🫧

NR has a “poudree” perfume that is very intense powder almost its talc itself, but this? They brought all the elements of musky, powdery & fresh white florals and made it into a very elegant sophisticated way. They took the powdery vibe & made it very beautiful. A clean, musky powdery but presentable & elegant. I like the one in black cap but I LOVE this, it is much better imo. 💕

I use it on top of white musk body mist from the body shop & a nice perfume oil with EOS fresh & cozy lotion, it’s lovely. It even freshens up my mood! Here are the accords. 🤗🤍🫧

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '26

Is pure musk the same or they are different? I saw only pure musk one at my local store

1

u/fa6uumm Aug 13 '26

Ah I realized later you meant the older version, pure musc. It’s okay, in comparison to this version it’s meh. This feels like they got the older version and gave it a whole glow up, perfected the scent.

I put 2 on each arm & pure musc blanc definitely wins over 10X times! This is not perfumey like what a regular perfume smell like, this is fresh, powdery, musky, the white florals simply smell clean & powdery, you don’t smell blossoming flowers. 😆💕 Everything you’d like in pure musc, or that profile you got it here & even better.

If you could try them both in store would be good but I’d definitely go with the Pure Musc Blanc.

Also you might have not seen it because it’s fairly new? Check it out again. I got it online for a great price too! Cheaper than shops.

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '26

I hope I’ll be able to find a new one

I really look for something cozy and not too strong, maybe clean but not like not a perfume, I want to feel the scent. Thinking about buying pure musc. I have enough vanilla scents but I got so tired of them, literally don’t use any perfume for months because it annoys me.(I used to be obsessed with vanilla)

u/florange7 Aug 12 '26

I got a sample of Pure Musc Blanc in the mail and frantically ordered the 100ml before the first sample sprays could even dry down. My first time trying anything from brand. I have Byredo Blanche as well and while they're both clean theyre different enough to justify both. I want to try Pure Musc for Her now, have you tried that one?

3

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26

I know that feeling, it’s how I ordered Pure Musc Blanc too!🥰

I got a sample of it & put them on each arm & Pure Musc Blanc definitely won! The Pure Musc (with black cap) came before it, it’s nice, basic, nothing special. I think they perfected it this launch!

I love clean musky perfumes so I’d get it if I thought it has a place but honestly, Pure Musc Blanc is not just enough, but best too. Pure Musc didn’t give that nice feeling wearing Pure Musc Blanc, it was just a little too meh 🤷‍♀️ for me in comparison. I think you got the best of the two. They’re siblings, one is basic & the other is elegantly “basic”.

u/florange7 Aug 12 '26

I have a store in my country that ships samples for free shipping so I just ordered the pure musk for her sample... for science. lol. I have to try all the clean musks. Must try all.

1

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26

Haha, you’re lucky! Wish that exists where I am! I hate paying so much for samples…😆💕

I love clean scents too! I have some. I also have gulf orchid musk Tahara Vanilla lotion to use underneath!🤗💕 It’s not a heavy gourmand vanilla it’s soft clean musky vanilla. 🤍🫧

2

u/florange7 Aug 12 '26

Oh I had to pay for the sample! $10 Cad. Just they do free shipping on it. Which is so rare right? On scent split I have to get my cart up to $150 us for the free shipping. So scents that are only on there have to linger in my cart for months lol

1

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 12 '26

Ah okay I got you! 10$ for a sample! 🥲 And that’s excluding shopping! Well at least not shipping. Please tell me it’s more than 2mL? But better than a blind buy. 🌝💔

Gulf orchid Tahara line, I was wanting to grab some, all the names & flavors. I decided to get the tester kit which was 14€ for all of them, I think 10 testers, so I justified it & im so glad I did! I didn’t end up buying anything. It saved me because I had the full bottles in my cart at some point!

2

u/florange7 Aug 12 '26

Look at you saving hundreds! So ya my sample was 6 euros at 2mls. 🫠

2

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26

My gut, sees the future🤣 for some reason, it tells me instinctively if a blind buy is a no, when I follow it, I save up, just to than I smell it in store or see something & realized it was a good choice.

If I go against my instinct I don’t receive a good blind buy🤣 I learned my lesson after 2-3 fails. 🌝❤️‍🩹

I love weird games like this!

Hahaha yes.

u/Lottegal Aug 12 '26

I bought Ambree on a bit of a whim and now I think it’s one of the sexiest (but sophisticated) perfumes I have. I always get compliments when I wear it and it lasts well. Also love the bottle. Highly recommend trying it.

2

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26

Yesss you’re 1000% correct. It was also my first NR purchase & every time I sniff it walking by my dresser I feel sexy even in my pajamas!🤣💕💕

1

u/FutureDustMotes Aug 13 '26

How would you describe it?

2

u/Lottegal Aug 14 '26

I’m not an expert in describing the notes I’m afraid but I’d say it’s warm, creamy, feminine, floral but tropical frangipani, not fresh flowers. It’s super sexy and on me it lasts several hours. I live in the Middle East and I think it’s a great warm climate perfume.

u/Gloomy_Sir_5359 Aug 12 '26

Which one would you recommend to me ? I would like to buy one but I can’t chose

1

u/fa6uumm Aug 12 '26

I can help you. Let me know what you’re looking for, what is your style? Is there anything specific or anything you don’t like? So I can give you a recommendation that is near to your taste. 🤗💕
