Narciso Rodriguez introduces NARCISO eau de parfum Cristal, the luminous and addictive new fragrance in the iconic NARCISO collection. The fragrance is a tribute to radiant femininity, reflecting the inner light of the NARCISO woman, just as the facets of a crystal radiate light to reveal its natural beauty.
The radiance within
NARCISO eau de parfum Cristal explores our most intimate selves. ‘The fragrance reveals a woman’s true self and reflects her authentic personality,’ says Natalie Gracia-Cetto, the renowned perfumer behind the new fragrance. ‘My vision was to create a fragrance that brings out a woman’s inner light, radiating her natural beauty and sensuality.’ Dutch model Laurijn Bijnen, the muse of NARCISO eau de parfum Cristal, perfectly embodies this radiant femininity. Photographer Viviane Sassen captures Laurijn’s natural beauty in a series of dream-like images shot in the atmospheric light of the desert.
A scent infused with light
The fragrance captures the essence of inner light through its radiant topnotes, pure and delicate heart, and sensual drydown. As the scent awakens, a glowing halo of radiant bergamot illuminates the soft petals of blooming flowers, a lush bouquet of upcycled rose and white floral accords. The fragrance gradually unfurls to a voluptuous drydown with the iconic heart of musc, the unmistakable signature of NARCISO fragrances. The musc is enhanced with elegant woody and amber facets of sensuous cedarwood and cashmeran, giving the fragrance a mysterious, diffusive trail. A sublime alchemy of lightness and depth, the scent’s luminous halo counterbalances a deep intensity. ‘I wanted this perfume to honor femininity by illuminating the floral, the freshness and the musky, woody sensuality with a soft and radiant light,’ says Gracia-Cetto.
A natural vision
NARCISO eau de parfum Cristal introduces a new standard of naturality, with more than 85% of its ingredients from natural origin. In her first collaboration with narciso rodriguez, perfumer Natalie Gracia-Cetto brings her expertise in working with naturals, as well as her vision for a more sustainable approach to perfumery. ‘I strongly believe that the classics of tomorrow must also be nature-conscious. As perfumers, we now have the opportunity to create fragrances with ingredients that use less energy, consume less resources, and have a lower environmental impact.’ Gracia-Cetto considered these principles when selecting the key ingredients for NARCISO eau de parfum Cristal. She chose a bergamot ethically-sourced from Italy, and a rose note sourced using a new upcycling process of distillation, which recovers olfactive components from distillation water to create a floral note that evokes the smell of the fresh rose. ‘Naturals are precious resources, so we must strive to enrich and evolve our palette with innovative ingredients like these that are responsibly sourced and made with respect for nature and biodiversity.’
A bottle of sheer luminosity
The iconic NARCISO bottle appears in its purest form, the transparent glass tinted a delicate pink, revealing the luminous scent within. Sharing the signature silhouette of the NARCISO collection, an ethereal glow emanates from within the translucent glass cube, its graphic lines reflecting light like the facets of a natural crystal. Finished with a contrasting matte pink cap, the precious object radiates the same captivating luminosity as the NARCISO woman.
Redefining seduction
The NARCISO fragrance collection celebrates the art of seduction, each scent defined by the enveloping heart of musc and iconic woody signature, yet transformed through unique variations of composition. NARCISO eau de parfum poudrée captures a delicate seductiveness with a floral blend of white jasmine petals and Bulgarian rose. NARCISO eau de parfum ambrée radiates a seductive warmth, enveloped by exotic florals of tiaré, orange blossom and ylang-ylang, while NARCISO eau de parfum rouge evokes a more fierce passion, with its vivid bouquet of Bulgarian rose and iris. Now NARCISO eau de parfum Cristal continues the tribute to seduction with a new story of inner light and natural attraction.
