Perfume Review: Essence by Narciso Rodriguez

by on January 14, 2010


of woody iris to give blessed powdery shade from the…oh my God…here it comes again…fluorescent white musk that teeters between aggressively clean and penetratingly sinus piercing. If you read between the whines, I really do admire Essence. It’s every shiny, steam-cleaned, Pure with a capital “P” note combined into what Narciso Rodriguez calls “the smell of sunlight”. Good hygiene never smelled so pretty. But as for me, I need to go sniff some moonlight now. I’m Katie Puckrik, and I smell …

It’s a well-composed perfume, very skillfully put together. It’s down to whether you like a perfume that has Essence’s crispy-clean soapy smell.

Do you mean the way my perception of the perfume changed? Well, I just picked up on different aspects of the fragrance every time I revisited it. And when you smell more than one perfume at a time, it can sometime emphasize things by comparison, or it can completely overwhelm your nose.

I was really curious about this perfume after listening to your description, so I went and tried it out. I don’t know if it’s because I was influenced by your description, but all I could smell was Dove bar soap! In fact *sniffs* yes… yes it still smells to me like Dove bar soap.

Organza Indecence was re-issued in 2007 (reformulated slightly sweeter than the original, apparently), so you should be able to track it down. Perhaps online?
