By the editors · 2 min readNarcissus opens with a bitter-green bite that quickly folds into buttery tuberose and iris. The heart thickens as mimosa adds powdery pollen, while cinnamon and cardamom dust the florals with dry warmth. Incense and frankincense fuse into a resinous haze, vetiver sharpens the edges, and a muted oud-leather accord settles low, never loud, anchoring the bouquet in a smoky, slightly animalic dusk. On skin the narcissus recedes within minutes, letting the creamy white-floral trio dominate until the incense slowly overtakes them after three hours. Sillage stays polite, projecting an arm’s-length aura that reads autumn office or cool spring dinner. Complexity is high: each stage swaps lead players yet keeps a consistent leathery-amber haze.
