Fragrance Notes
All of Me
White peony is the first thing you notice in Narciso Rodriguez All of Me Eau de Parfum Gift Set, and it sets the tone for everything that follows: cool, watery, barely sweet.
Peony of this kind smells of dew more than of flowers, crisp and slightly green, and geranium sharpens that further with a leafy, faintly metallic bite. Rose warms the middle and softens the edges, full petal rather than anything sugared. Then the fragrance turns quiet. Musk takes over with a clean, skin close warmth, and sandalwood sits beneath it, creamy and smooth and a touch milky, rounding off the greenness of the opening. Five materials, used plainly, and the whole arc runs from cool to warm without any detours.
As an eau de parfum it carries enough oil to last properly. It does not shout, but it stays, and a couple of sprays will see out a day. That combination suits people who want to be noticed at close range rather than across a room, and it works through spring and summer without feeling thin when the weather turns.
The composition is credited to Dora Baghriche and Daphné Bugey. Bought as a set, it is an easy present for someone whose taste in fragrance you do not know in detail, because the scent is clean enough to suit most people and interesting enough not to feel like a safe choice. It reads as feminine and it is comfortable at work, which is not true of every eau de parfum.
The house behind it is an American one, founded in 1997 by a designer who grew up in Newark in a Cuban immigrant family and trained at Parsons. He worked under Donna Karan at Anne Klein, moved to Calvin Klein, then spent four years as design director of womenswear at Loewe before opening his own New York atelier in 2001. Beaute Prestige International is the licensee for the fragrances.
