\u201cThe details give me the greatest pleasure,\u201d Narciso Rodriguez says, whether he\u2019s designing a frock<\/a> or a fragrance. And for the latest iteration of his first scent, For Her Eau de Parfum Intense, he chose to amp up the sensuality in a modern way. But it turns out what it means to be sexy now is hard to capture in a bottle. \u201cWe did different things, tried different things, and then I said to Sonia (Constant, his longtime perfumer and collaborator), put on your leather Narciso dress.\u201d<\/p>\n

The piece, which Rodriguez lovingly recalls as \u201cmore brown than black\u201d and something \u201cshe looks amazing in,\u201d served as the embodiment of a powerful woman, confident and not afraid to take charge. \u201cI said, turn up the volume and make it smell like what you look like in that dress,\u201d he laughs.<\/p>\n

The result: an in-your-face aroma lush with peach and heady white flowers that \u201ccaptures the trail\u201d of the brand\u2019s trademark musc<\/a> (a synthetic musk) mingling with vetiver and a hint of vanilla. Constant turned to technology to fine-tune the formula, using AI to replicate the composition of the musc in the original, tying it to Intense and thus emphasizing Rodriguez\u2019s singular vision.<\/p>\n

Because much like the designer\u2019s perfectly bias-cut gowns that hug the body, or the fit-enhancing piping on a dress that took forever to perfect, it\u2019s the nuances of this evolved scent that make all the difference. \u201cIt was about amplifying the sensuality in a way that wasn\u2019t overt or loud,\u201d Rodriguez says. \u201cIt was important to keep it elegant. Always keeping the beauty and the grace.\u201d<\/p>\n
