    I gave this to my mom for her birthday because she had a bodylotion of it from years ago. She loves it. It smells so sofisticated. The lasting power is great, you can still smell it in the evening....

    Essence, like other fragrances for women by Narciso Rodriguez, is a fragrance centered on musk with tasteful floral accents; however, if you are in love with Narciso Rodriguez for Her and enjoy the...

    I collect all the variations of NR For Her and this is a welcome departure from the all-encompassing woody musk. True, it's a very "clean" scent that isn't particularly ambitious, but that's all I...

    I really liked the For Her, a friend used to say it smelled like a woman in love!, but after a few years found it too girly, so now I mix a bit of essence over her... a very nice layering

    Got a sample of this at sephora and was not impressed. It smells like a ton of other fragrances out there. Not bad but nothing special.

    clean, fresh and simple. Notes: Musk, Iris Powder, Rose Petals, Benzoin Balm. I originally purchased NR For Her - and while I liked it, I couldn't smell the musk on me at all. I switched to...

    Not terrible, but it smells kind of like Lemon Pledge. This comes on too strong for me.

    Smelled like chemically rose-water floral scent. I was shocked when I smelled it to be honest.

    The scent is just gorgeous. Clean, elegant and feminine. However, the price is far too expensive and the bottle is too heavy for carrying it with you in your bag. Another thing is that the bottle...

    Sticky lacquer, sharp wood after an initial rose/iris onset. Definitely powdery, but not in a good way, with that sharp edge like cheap sandalwood. Not for me.
