This is a review for the EDT, the parfum, and I'd even throw in a review on the Blanc. I have to warn you ladies that there is a world of difference between the NN EDT and the parfum. The EDT is...

This review is for an EDT. I am now ordering the parfum. I love this stuff!The beginning is aldehydes that quickly fades away to smell of rose,and orange blossom. The Caron website list the notes...

Wow, I didn't smell ANY of the interesting notes--incense, wisteria, etc! On me this was simply powder and some unidentifiable very strong white flower. It has a very sharp tinge to it, and just...

On application Narcisse Noir was overwhelmingly synthetic like Chanel. Thankfully it quickly turned extremely oriental and reminded me of Chinatown soaps---(jasmine,sandalwood,rose in colorful...

Narcisse Noir is packed with notes that I usually love (see cjblue's review, below, for a list) but it's a disaster on my skin. It started off beautifully -dark & mysterious, as several other...

In two minds on this one. I love the Orange blossom top note - it is heavenly, but I find the drydown to be just too smokey and too incensey. Goes a bit flat and then tails off from its glorious...

This is a review for NN, but, in truth, my motivation is just as much about making a public plea for information on how (if?) one can successfully "rapid age" perfumes. I know - I can hear the...

Low-pitched, sweet, powdery. From the dark end of the pallette. I don't find this heavy. It does not smell like a hot red grape arbor or like Evening in Paris, but it reminds me of both. It has...

Holy Mother of Fragrance, this one took me by surprise. Last night, as usual, I grabbed a couple of samples from my seemingly never-ending bag o' samples. On my right wrist I put some Molinard...

If Phyllis Dietrichson from "Double Indemnity" had a signature scent, this would be IT. Potent narcissus with sillage like no other, this is a scent for the woman who fears nothing and will do...

Saw this in EDT form in a fragrance shop in Vancouver and pounced on it. I'd read that Anais Nin had worn it,or rather the perfume, so I wanted a bottle for my collection due to that bit of...

I was disappointed in Narcisse Noir Eau de Toilette. Maybe the parfum is better. The EDT smelled like orange blossom flower water at first. Then started to smell like Triple Lanolin lotion. Finally...

At the price, I would not buy this again. Liquid gold! But *sigh* it does smell wonderfully sweet, warm, and mysterious (albeit just a smidge too sweet for my taste). I love the smell of Nag Champa...

An incredible hypnotic perfume, with a true narcissus note -- you will sense the wearer for miles. This is a real femme fatale fragrance, nothing less of stunning. Dark and sinister by name and...

initial reaction: church. incense-y... expensive incense, but incense nonetheless. My tester seems to fade away quickly. The drydown is a soft powdery incense. This makes me feel like I should...

Stinky old lady smell, but then again, I do not like the smell of a fresh narcissus so I shoulda known better.

MMMMM this didn't smell anything like I thought it would but I love it. It's not as dark as I imagined. Soft warm orange blossom and incense. It reminds me of something but I can't remember what....

This scent is a real chameleon - it is different each time I wear it. Overall though, while I enjoy the half-hour or so of orange blossom I get, the scent then becomes too intensely incensey - to...
