Top notes: rhubarb, cardamom, coffee, mandarin. Heart notes: mango, ginger, amber. Base notes: peach, vetiver, grey amber. Perfumer: officially not disclosed. Year of release: 2017. Narcos'is lives up to its name: it is an oriental composition that attracts and does not let go. The start is tart and invigorating: rhubarb, coffee and cardamom against sparkling mandarin. In the heart, exotic mango and sharp ginger are softened by warm amber, and the base of juicy peach, smoky vetiver and grey amber gives the fragrance depth and sweet weight. The brand describes this fragrance as 'a completely narcotic blend that creates its own magnetism'. And indeed: the sweetness here is not dessert-like, but adult — with the bitterness of coffee and the dryness of vetiver, which keep the fruits from becoming frivolous. This is an evening, confident fragrance for those who love oriental compositions without excessive heaviness.
