    Well, what can you say? I'm always in awe of Classics like Narcisse Noir and get all tongue-tied but I try. First a word of warning: if you can't deal with civet and find Jicky off-putting, you can...

    Everyone always goes on and on about how Narcisse NOIR is one of the sexiest perfumes ever; how strange that Narcisse BLANC has not been mentioned in this context. Noir screams, Blanc smolders....

    This is very pretty, I agree with numerous analogies below... hairspray, honey, wisteria incense. It's very pretty but too sweet for me. I'll bet though, that if I smelled this on some other...

    I bought a vintage bottle of Narcisse Noir and immediately fell in love with it. I think GlamDiva's description hit the nail on the head, although when I first apply this the initial smell is...

    Narcisse Noir is one of the best scents put out by the French House of Caron. It is a classic, first being made in 1911, and with good reason as it has stood against time with perfect aplomb. A...

    Wow, this one really works on me. Its orange blossom, but in the dead of night in a cool, quiet garden. Peaceful and mysterious. Layers well w/ Apres L'Ondee EDT. I didn't detect a mustiness or an...

    Based on the varied reviews here, I imagine this is a scent that is very reactive to different body chemistries. This one just "works" on me. I do detect the incense that manon mentions when I...

    Narcisse Noir (1911) pure parfum versus Narcisse Blanc (1923) pure parfum. NN is a floral-oriental perfume built around orange blossoms. Narcisse Blanc is a pure orange blossom perfume. The two...

    this does smell like nag champa, which i love, but it is more like nag champa *soap*. very soapy, in a bad way. surprisingly, i don't find this "dark" at all, just old. also, i agree that this...

    My first introduction to a Caron, and I am utterly seduced. Narcisse Noir is also the first enchanting powdery scent I have sampled thus far. Reviewers below have given more detailed observations...

    Narcisse Noir is vivacious, daring and elegant. I associate the smell with Gustav Klimt’s paintings: red-haired women with white skin, wearing lots of gold, black and bright colors. And NN has...

    I love Nuit de Noel and couldn't wait to try this other "dark" Caron fragrance. I was disappointed. On me it justs smells sweet and smoky which is an odd combo. The earlier reviewer who said...

    I was asked by a fellow MUA to describe this for her, and decided I would add my 2cents here too. It is unlike any other fragrance that I have (which is a good thing-IMO)-except maybe Bandit. They...

    This smells like hairspray to me. Seriously. I have tried to like it, I really thought I would. Seriously, Paul Mitchell hairspray.

    I wanted to like this fragrance because of its mystique. <p>But, I am afraid I can't. First the initial scent of orange blossom is strong. Not in a fresh way, but in heavy flower-water type way....

    The Orange Blossom lasts 15 seconds tops on my skin. Then it becomes a powdery mess. Old fashioned but not in a good way. Not for me anyway although I have friends who really love this. Musty. Old....

    I respect this fragrance for its originality, but I wouldn't wear it. It is too insence-like, spicy, almost medical for me. I don't find it sensual at all, it has as much senusality for me as a...

    Interesting... I shall give it that much. As hirondelle said, it is very dense and smokey. While that instantly attracted me to it in theory and demanded that I go out and aquire a bottle, it did...

    A little smoky and a lot too heavy. The visual image this perfume conjured was treacle, the thick, black stuff they force-feed the hapless schoolboys in "Nicholas Nickleby" -- or, in an alternative...
