![]() ![]() Both are incredibly elegant perfumes that present themselves with little pretence, meaning that whatever concentration of the original one goes for, one can wear the incredibly versatile For Her pretty much anywhere. In fact, For Her is responsible for defining the modern chypre and it is a fragrance that has been copied many times, namely in Sarah Jessica Parker’s Lovelyand more recently in Guerlain’s Idylle.įor Her is available in Eau de Parfum (pink bottle) and Eau de Toilette (black bottle) concentrations, with the former presenting a richer and more enveloping experience with stronger emphasis on roses, the warm amber in the base and sharpness in the patchouli, whereas the latter is lighter, more floral, orange blossom-centric and ethereal. It is far-removed from the spiky and aloofchypres of yesteryear, yet it doesn’t pander to the lowest common denominator, nor does it present a familiar and exhausted signature. The original For Her is very much a modern perfume. ![]() At its very core For Her is a floral chypre, blending the warm, earthy notes of rose and honey nuances of orange blossom with the sharp, angular feel of patchouli to create a signature that has contrasts of both light and shade. ![]() In the top notes it dances with light and fizzy steps, evoking the vibrant movement of textured fabric. In my mind, For Her is the olfactory equivalent of pink tulle. This is the Narciso Rodriguez For Her Collection. Over the years Narciso Rodriguez has has stayed faithful to the winning formula that is ‘ For Her’, releasing a number of reinterpretations to showcase the varying facets of such a distinct formula in new guises. One such perfume is Narciso Rodriguez’s flagship feminine fragrance ‘ Narciso Rodriguez For Her’ (or ‘For Her’, for short).Launched by New York based, Cuban fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez 2003 and created by venerable perfumers Francis Kurkdjian ( Le Mâle, Lady Vengeance and Narciso Rodriguez For Him) and Christine Nagel ( Archives 69, Si and The One), For Her is a distinctive perfume that captures the essence of modern femininity in shades of strength and fragility. These perfumes are the finest modern examples of their genres – trendsetters that pave the way for a thousand fragrances of their style. These ‘modern classics’ have played a significant part in shaping our tastes in perfume, setting the standards and styles that the perfume industry and the consumer follow, much in the same way that perfumes such as Shalimarand Mitsoukodid back in their heyday. But there are also a number of significant perfumes that have been released within living memory, even over the last few years in fact. When one talks of the classics of the perfume world our minds are cast back to the early part of the 20 th century and the early output of houses such as Coty, Guerlain, Caron and Chanel. ![]()
