Narciso Rodriguez For Him Eau de Parfum Intense

I’m really curious about this perfume. I’ve tried all of Narciso’s feminine fragrances as well as his muscoline version for my husband, and they’ve done quite well. I really hope this one is pretty and comforting. In my opinion, Narciso should create something crisp and refreshing for men during warmer seasons. But I’m still eager to give it a sniff.

This perfume carries notes of Iris atop a base that combines wet soil and cement. It’s clean yet has depth. As a woman, I’ve noticed people have complimented me on this, though I might be overreacting a bit. Regardless, the scent is very strong and long-lasting.

The scent is quite strong and noticeable. It has a soft, delicate floral and perfumey musk that dries down into a patchouli and woody combo. Up close, it feels damp and pale gray, but from a distance, it smells cleaner and more balanced. I think this fragrance walks a fine line—it’s elegant enough for a wedding day (as a guest wearing a white shirt and black suit jacket) but not quite perfect. The performance is decent, though I noticed some olfactory fatigue on me—on my friend, it lasts all day, but on me, it seems to fade after about four hours. Weather-wise, it was cool when I tried it, and I’m 30+. Overall, I’d rate this a 6/10. I’ve had it since the launch, and while I hoped it might grow on me over time, I might need to experiment with layering it with another scent if I want it to stick around longer. Any suggestions?

Aramv isn't accurate here. After comparing this perfume side by side with the Musc Collection, I've noticed they're different scents composed of distinct notes, even though they share some similarities. While they may feel comparable at first glance, their performance on the skin isn't the same either. The best analogy I can think of is that Narciso Rodriguez For Him EDP is to Musc Collection as Dior Homme Intense is to Dior Homme. They both have similar scents but differ in terms of thickness, richness, and longevity.

This is a top-tier fragrance. No one I know has had anything negative to say about it—everyone I’ve spoken to raves about it, which is high praise indeed. N. Rodriguez exudes warmth, clearly influenced by pepper and musk, with a floral note that ties everything together in a poetic way. One perfumer described it as evoking the feeling of a man falling in love, and they’re spot on. It’s also the kind of scent that makes people fall for the wearer—charismatic, warm, and undeniably appealing. Rodriguez embodies qualities that feel both mysterious and approachable: responsible, classy, and yet somehow magnetic. He’s the kind of person who inspires love and admiration, making him a standout individual. Wearing this fragrance feels empowering—it’s like highlighting your best self, giving you confidence and a sense of security. It’s as though you’re channeling that sophisticated elegance seen in high-fashion ads but wearing it as your own unique style. I highly recommend N. Rodriguez to anyone looking for a scent that truly stands out. Enjoy!
