Narciso Poudrée
Narciso Poudrée is a Floral Woody Musk perfume that was launched in 2016. The fragrance has top notes of white jasmine, Bulgarian rose and orange blossom. The middle note is musk, and the base notes are coumarin, cedar, vetiver and patchouli. The perfume has a long-lasting performance and a moderate projection.
Beve describes the scent as powdery, sweet and musky, with a very strong Narciso musk DNA. It later releases a beautiful jasmine note. She also describes it as having softer florals and a velvety texture, as if you mixed cream and powder together. She gets warm, powdery woodsy notes on the dry down.
Beve finds Narciso Poudrée gives her the sensations of clean, fresh, comforting and relaxing. She enjoys wearing it in the morning, fresh out of the shower and also for meditation. She would wear it to the office, in the daytime and especially in extreme heat and in super hot climates.
Narciso Ambrée
Narciso Ambrée is an Amber Floral perfume that was launched in 2020. This perfume has top notes of frangipani, ylang-ylang and white flowers. The mid notes are musk and amber, and the base notes are vanilla, cedar and cashmere. The perfume has moderate performance and moderate projection.
Beve found the perfume to be somewhat linear once the sweet floral opening died down and gave way to caramel warmth and musk. In between the pulsing moments of warmth she noticed a mineral freshness. She felt that the contrast between the freshness and the warmth gave her a cozy, clean feeling. The frangipani and ylang-ylang didn’t really make an appearance until she was into the mid. The dry down of Ambrée moved between a sweet freshly-ironed-shirt scent and hints of vanilla.
Beve views Ambrée as a light amber fragrance that, to her, is more sweet, fresh and clean. She felt that it is a perfume best suited for transitioning from summer into fall, or going back to school or the office.
