Narciso Rodriguez Narciso Cristal has become popular among perfume connoisseurs for its exquisite floral accords perfectly enhanced with refreshing woody nuances. It is one of those fragrances specially designed for stylish and self-confident women, who know who they are and how their surroundings like nature, people, literature, etc. can inspire them. Its long-lasting trail gives them enough strength and motivation to overcome self-doubt, fatigue and direct all their energy towards achieving goals more quickly.
The olfactory pyramid of Narciso Rodriguez Narciso Cristal:
Top notes open with tender white flowers of the orange tree before they meet crisp bergamot and delicately sweet freesia, making them even more powerful.
Heart notes strengthen the floral accords with sensual jasmine, unobtrusive musk and enchanting rose. It is the unique blend of these three ingredients that lasts longer that any others, helping to calm down anxieties and relax.
Base notes reinvigorate senses with benzoin resin, silky cashmeran and grand cedar,
leaving behind a head-turning trail.
I purchased a sample here, even though I was very close to buying a full-sized bottle, but I decided to try it on myself first. And thankfully I did, otherwise it would have been a waste of money. It's a completely simple, completely forgettable scent for skincare. Someone mentioned that it is similar to Dove cream, and yes, it is almost identical. It's too heavy for me. It's not about a light summer breeze or the "ringing" freshness of morning flowers in the garden. It suffocates me. To the point where it brings to mind a woman around 55-60 years old, with a solid build, wearing a business suit and a knee-length skirt, with a crazy bird's nest-like hairstyle, carefully arranged and topped with some cheap hair spray. I'm not a fan of Narciso Rodriguez, and yet I have a few cubes for variety, but I have no desire to add this scent to my collection. And yes, please forgive me those who found something else in this scent and enjoy wearing it!
Not bad, but not my preference. I prefer Musk Noir more.
Probably the only pleasant fragrance from Rodriguez for me. Not wintery, it initially has a note that irritates me, but then it becomes beautiful, delicate, slightly sweet, deep, not cloying, warm. It's an everyday scent that sits close to the skin.
Very delicate, powdery, soft, very feminine. Definitely suitable for a warm sweater in the cold season. But I think it won't be suffocating even in the summer, as it feels soft. I don't know about its longevity yet, I think it will last around 4 hours on the skin, but I think it will last longer on clothing.
