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 Rouge
Narciso Rouge is a Floral Woody Musk perfume that was launched in 2018. The top notes in this fragrance are iris and Bulgarian rose. The mid notes are tuberose, musk and orange blossom and the base notes are tonka bean, vanilla, cedar notes and vetiver. The projection is moderate and the longevity is good.
Beve found the opening to be sweet and lush and has the unique Narciso musk DNA. As you head to the heart of this fragrance, it gets more and more powdery. As Rouge progresses, the scent gives way to a dance of sweet, floral muskiness, and then the wood notes come in. The vanilla note slides in for a turn, blows you a kiss and then is gone. She noted that this little dance goes on and on and ultimately the fragrance ends up having a very playful and flirtatious vibe.
Beve plans on wearing Rouge anytime and anywhere. She enjoyed wearing it in the heat because it kept up with her and the musk clung to her skin. She found the scent to be inspiring, optimistic, stimulating and very feminine.
