Narcissus Obsession in Bloom Extrait

Description Narcissus Obsession in Bloom is a heady white-and-yellow floral with a spiced, fruity start. Argos took its cue from John William Waterhouse's 1903 painting of Echo and Narcissus, and the fragrance follows the myth: a bright opening, a heady middle, a soft fade. Raspberry, tarragon and clove buds come first, so the start is fruity with a green, spicy edge. Then comes the heart of narcissus absolute, tuberose, jasmine and geranium, the part people will remember. It settles on vanilla, ylang-ylang, musk and Mysore sandalwood, creamy and warm. Argos makes it as an extrait at a 35% concentration. If you like narcotic white florals with some texture to them, start here. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Raspberry, Tarragon, Clove Buds Heart: Narcissus Absolute, Tuberose, Jasmine, Geranium Base: Vanilla, Ylang-Ylang, Musk, Mysore Sandalwood Performance Longevity: Long, as you would expect from a 35% extrait with a sandalwood and vanilla base. Sillage: Moderate to strong in the first hours; tuberose and narcissus carry. Projection: About arm's length early on, settling into a creamy floral aura. An honest note: it is a new release, so there are few long-term wear reports yet. The concentration and the white-floral heart both point to a long-lasting scent, but test it on your skin first. Best Occasions & Season Wearable year-round, and at its best on Spring and Summer evenings and warm nights out. Unisex, though it reads floral first. Skip it for a crowded office, where the tuberose can be a lot.
