    For her is my favourite perfume so I picked up a sample of Essence as soon as it came out. I did not like this the first time I tried it but after reading through the reviews I took advice from...

    This smells exactly like Omnia Crystalline !! I can't detect any iris. There is no soapy, powdery element like, say Prada Infusion d'iris. Overall, not impressed. It is too sharp and monotonous -...

    I really love this fragrance. It is very fresh and clean smelling so it is perfect for a daytime scent. I find that one spritz is enough as it seems to get a little bit stronger on me. I really...

    I love the original for her so had high hopes for this fragrance - I got myself all worked up as when I approached the diplay area for it the store had laid out the four bottles with each of the...

    Essence made a visually-striking first impression with me. This perfume’s name, combined with its lustrous, silver flask-like bottle made me think the contents might be pure, strong (perhaps...

    Since I love For Her EDT so much, I went out of my way to get a few samples of this to test this out. I actually have high hope for this perfume. This is a very simple, soapy, clean and comfortable...

    I'm having trouble believing the horrid reviews for this scent. I haven't purchased yet (a bit too pricey in Euro right now) but I have tested on my throat, wrist, coat and scarf repeatedly (the...

    A fresh smelling clean scent. It is true to its name as Narciso Essence smells like Narciso for Her Edt but without the musk. Think of soapy 'white' laundry sharp scents. Nothing special or unique...

    I find essence somewhat boring and generic. It is a clean, happy ..soapy scent. It will no doubt appeal to the masses.

    Let me start off by saying that perfume is very individual to the person's chemistry. What works for others may not work for you. That being said, I absolutely love NR essence. It's main note is...

    Disapponting. I was very curious about this one, since I loved the EdT of NR. After that, NR EdP was already a no-go for me, too pungent floral. Now this "essence" is nothing I would like to smell...

    I love this. It's soapy and clean, yet sensual with a powdery dry-down similar to Prada's Infusion D'Iris.

    I wanted to like essence, but I don't. I received a few samples of this fragrance. All I get from this is a powder smell, similar to the scent of kleenex. Oh well......

    A huge fan of the original NR edt, I had to run out and try this. Got a small spray sample from Saks and tested it for about a week or so. I really enjoyed it and received several compliments, but...

    I purchased this fragrance last week and it smells heavenly. The initial spray may be a little strong, but the drydown is subtle and soft and it lasts all day long. I've gotten sooooo many...
