Narciso Rodriguez

52 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Narciso Rodriguez range is made of

98% of the 52 Narciso Rodriguez fragrances Zenyra has mapped contain musk. A house can be described by what it returns to, and Narciso Rodriguez returns to musk more than to anything else — across 52 releases that is a position rather than a coincidence.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads closer to the skin than the catalogue as a whole: projection averages 0.48 against 0.51 across all mapped fragrances. The margin is modest — this is a house closer to the centre of taste than to any edge of it.

One idea, or many

Narciso Rodriguez releases variations on a theme. Measured as the average spread of its fragrances across all five axes, the range scores 0.081 — narrow. Someone who likes one Narciso Rodriguez fragrance is unusually likely to like the next, and someone who dislikes one probably will not find the exception further down the range.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2018, which places this house firmly in the current era of perfumery rather than the archive.
