What is it?
Narciso Rouge is the fourth Rodiguez fragrance, but unlike the others, famous for being soft and powdery, this floral is woody musky, warm and very sexy. Read on to learn more.

What's in it?
The blend of rose, iris, amber, tonka bean, vetiver, cedar, and musk, is potent and powerful.
Why do we like it?
Firstly the colour. It's a bold statement and a departure from the dozens of muted or pretty pink bottles lining up in stores right now. If you don't notice the robust, red glass, then once you sniff the contents, it will demand your attention. It's all of these adjectives. Voluptuous, provocative, racy, seductive, sensual and risqué. To quote Rodriguez, “The new fragrance has a heightened sensuality. There’s a deliberate new spirit that’s bold and intoxicating.” We couldn’t agree more.
