These soft scents borrow an age-old trick: highlighting just enough green backbone to balance the more feminine floral notes. Add in the woody base and you’ve got two unisex fragrance-wardrobe staples.
The 12 Days of Christmas, day eight
“On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…eight maids a milking.”
The milky white flask of Narciso Rodriguez’s Eau de Parfum secured it for our pick for day eight in our 12 Days of Christmas gift guide. And yes, we skipped the “maid” part. It is 2015, after all, though we do admit this is a scent tailor-made for those of the female persuasion.
This EDP is a warm and sexy scent—and that bottle! Wow. Fragrance-loving aesthetes will swoon.
Slip a bottle of Narciso Rodriguez eau de parfum, full of white blooms (gardenia, roses) and warm amber, musk and cedar, into a loved one’s holiday stocking and you’ll win points for your exceptionally good taste.
