Narciso Rodriguez

The story of Narciso Rodriguez perfumes began with musk, which the designer received in his youth in the form of rare Egyptian musk oil. This scent became his personal signature, an olfactory signature that fueled his fascination with the expressive power of musk. He discovered that musk had the unique ability to reflect the personality of the wearer, which led to his decision to use musk at the heart of his first fragrance.
Rodriguez's intuition about musk revolutionized the perfume industry. He shared his musk oil with renowned perfumers Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian, resulting in the launch of For Her Eau de Toilette in 2003. Translating Rodriguez's signature of timeless elegance into a fragrance, the fragrance quickly became a cult classic. The perfume received the FiFi Award for Best New Fragrance in 2003 and has been recognized as a 21st century classic in the years that followed.
The iconic portrait of Carmen Kass, For Her’s muse, played a crucial role in the fragrance’s success. The portrait, created by Inez and Vinoodh, became not only a fashion and perfume icon, but also symbolized Narciso Rodriguez’s brand: timeless femininity and grace.
The launch of For Her Eau de Toilette was the beginning of a broader fragrance collection. It led to the development of the NARCISO collection and the For Him collection, where each perfume explores a different facet of the musk that defines the brand. These scents embody the clean lines, refined balance and modern sensibility that characterizes the brand.
In 2023, Narciso Rodriguez Parfums celebrated its 20th anniversary, and the designer began a new chapter with the launch of All of Me, a bold new fragrance that highlights his ability to evolve and innovate. All of Me is a testament to the power of Rodriguez's vision and his enduring influence in the world of perfumery.
