Good Morning Brotherhood!
Today’s grab is Narciso Rodriguez for Him Bleu Noir Parfum. Launched in 2022 by the nose of Sonia Constant, this one is a beautifully crafted powdery, Iris forward, Woody fragrance that shines in the fall.
I was in the mood for something softer, with a touch of woody warmth, and this fit perfectly. To my nose, it’s fairly linear so what you spray is what you get. Think Dior Homme Parfum, but slightly toned down and smoother.
Performance is solid: about 5 hours of longevity with decent projection, especially if you go in with 15–18 sprays.
If you enjoy the Dior Homme DNA but want something a little more understated and soft, I’d definitely recommend giving this a shot. For me, it’s a 7.6/10.
Honestly, Narciso Rodriguez as a house doesn’t get enough love. Their fragrances are seriously underrated. My wife has a few herself, For Her Parfum, For Her EDT (my personal favorite), and NARCISO Eau de Parfum Cristal, all absolute bangers.
Have an amazing day, brothers. Take care of yourselves.
