Narciso Rodriguez For Her

It’s possible for a fragrance to be loved and criticized at the same time, as you can see from For Her. Narciso Rodrgiguez, an American fashion designer of Cuban descent, convinced Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian to create For Her. While For Her has won several awards and became popular, it has also been criticized.

The top notes consist of osmanthus blossom, orange, blossom, and bergamot. The heart notes consist of musk and amber. The base notes consist of vetiver, vanilla, and patchouli.

While the floral and fruity notes provide freshness and softness, the musk leaves a significant impact. Its dominant musk is often why people dislike this fragrance, as it can be perceived as animalistic, sweaty, or even overwhelming. Others say that the scent is too powdery. Lastly, some people say that the scent is too heavy, as it is a rich fragrance intended to last the entire day

For Her shows how a perfume doesn’t have to be loved by everyone to leave a significant influence in perfumery.
