Narciso Rodriguez
For Him Eau de Toilette
For Him is one of those insider fragrances reviewers mention with a knowing nod. Francis Kurkdjian - later of Baccarat Rouge fame - paired dewy violet leaf with the house's signature plush musk in 2007, creating a template countless 'blue' fragrances borrowed from since. It smells clean, slightly metallic, quietly seductive; less a statement than an aura. With the EDT discontinued in many markets, finding a bottle in South Africa is increasingly a small victory for those in the know.
Narciso Rodriguez's founding masculine — the scent that proved musk could be a credible pillar of men's perfumery. For Him pairs lavender and violet leaf with the house's signature musky heart, grounded by earthy vetiver and patchouli. Discontinued in most markets, making existing stock increasingly collectible.

Spray the heavier scent first, then the lighter one on top. Start with two scents — more than three quickly becomes muddled. Always test on skin first.
