A modern icon in the making

Narciso Rodriguez is one of the most celebrated designers in the 21st century and it only felt natural for his vision to also translate to fragrances.
The story of for her started several years ago when the designer was gifted a rare Egyptian musc oil. After falling in love with the scent in an instant, it became his very own olfactory signature. The musc had a unique and captivating power that fascinated the designer so much that it had to be at the heart of his own fragrance line.
Together with the brillant expertise of two renowned perfumers, Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian, the exquisite profile of the Egyptian musc became the foundation of the fragrance that would remain powerful and recognizable even decades into the future.
Although the richness of the musc is definitely the signature and most defining note of for her, the true magic lies in the unique marriage of the surrounding accords. From the floral fragrance of the musc emerges the lightness of orange blossoms and osmanthus and the depth of soft amber with a hint of tactile woods. A modern take on a chypre fragrance, for her proved to be a work of art in its own that encapsulates the grace and elegance of women.
“A fragrance is a primal signature; it immediately reflects what a woman is about and how she sees herself. A woman identifies with her fragrance; it becomes part of her persona and her life,” the designer imparts.
Bottling up forever
The success of for her truly withstood the test of time as it remains relevant as ever, even after two decades of its creation. In honor of its 20th anniversary, Narciso Rodriguez releases for her forever—an olfactory tribute to the brand’s original scent.
The new fragrance reinvents the floralcy of the chypre scent. Sonia Constant, the perfumer behind for her forever, deliberately made it an homage to the original eau de toilette by introducing a lightness to the composition.
“The inspiration behind for her forever was to create an ode to femininity, a luminescent white floral contrasted with a supple, musky chypre, to keep the iconic signature of for her and make it evolve towards even more femininity, floralcy and elegance. It is a tribute to for her, composed like an immaculate bouquet, a caress of petals warmed by the rays of the sun—soft and dense like a silky cream of flowers, and irradiated with an electrifying vibration,” Constant describes.
Through the alluring facets of frangipani, gardenia, tuberose, and jasmine comes in the creamy notes of osmanthus blossoms, reminiscent of the original scent. Keeping true with for her’s distinctive scent, the new variant also features the familiar softness of the rich patchouli grounds.
