Narciso Rodriguez For Him ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 18 May 2007 9 Comments

Narciso Rodriguez For Him fragranceNarciso Rodriguez will follow up on his signature fragrance for women, 2003's Narciso Rodriguez For Her, with Narciso Rodriguez For Him, expected to debut this July.

The new fragrance was developed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, who also worked on For Her. For Him takes its cues from "the great fougères of the Eighties", and will feature musk, amber, violet leaf and patchouli notes.

Narciso for him bottleNarciso Rodriguez For Him will be in a grey bottle similar to that of the women's fragrance, and the range will include 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette, Fragrance Oil and matching grooming products. (quote via Women's Wear Daily, additional information via cosmeticnews)

For anyone who missed it, Narciso Rodriguez recently signed an agreement whereby Liz Claiborne will acquire 50% ownership of the line, which had been struggling financially. (via fibre2fashion, Houston Chronicle)

    Can't wait to sniff this one… I wonder if it will be as powerful as the 1980s power scents?

    As for the Liz Claiborne 50% stake… it only applies to the fashion side of the business. It does not affect the fragrance side, which will remain with Beaute Prestige International (Shiseido), so don't expect Narciso Rodriguez frags to go the way of all those Curve variants quite yet.

    No, don't think so at all. For Her seems to be selling well and I think they are just expanding the line.

    That is not how I read the agreement, but you're right that doesn't mean the license for the scents won't remain with BPI. At any rate, will be interesting to see if this is a powerhouse scent. The women's certainly isn't any such thing.

    Am I crazy, or is this a WAY better year for men's scents than last year, or even the year before? In fact, seems like a better year for men than for women.

    Amen to that! 🙂

    Looking forward to trying Light Blue, HypnĂ´se, Cacharel, French Lover and Armani Attitude. Am not having high hopes though for all of them.

    I think it is. So i sniff new man's scents to keep my nose busy;) while waiting for Kelly Caleche. I hope this girl in leather won't disappoint me.

    As for NR for him, I have good feelings about it, maybe it's because I love NR for her, both edt and edp.

    Light Blue & Attitude I have only smelled very quickly. Both were nice, so far don't love either but need to give them a better try. French Lover might be great — haven't smelled it — but I don't often like angelica so assuming I'm not going to want a bottle.

    Whats the men's Cacharel? Can't think of any major launch for men from them lately, although there is the Amor Amor flanker thing.

    I hope KC won't disappoint too, because it is about all I'm seriously lemming at the moment.
