Narciso Rodriguez Oud Musc Eau de Parfum

I bought this fragrance at the beginning of last year and for a more reasonable price. I ordered it "blindly" because I adore the entire perfume collection of Narciso Rodriguez - they are my gurus of musky fragrances and it's their impeccable signature style. But this particular scent raised a lot of questions for me. It is not at all characteristic of Rodriguez's style. For me, it smells like "bedbugs", and don't laugh! However, I recently came across a "novelty" from Byredo and was blown away because their bottle has this Narciso Oud Musk! They somehow baptized it with the Mandarin name. Here's what I mean - now, as I understand it, there is a trend of strange scents that can seem repulsive at first. However, in this case, I highly recommend not ordering it blindly - it is very different from everything NR offers. Secondly, it is essential to get acquainted with it to be "in trend" - it seems to be a new perfume trend. Thirdly, this fragrance is very demanding and requires time to understand. It is long-lasting, very powerful, with an above-average sillage. Interesting, but specific. It took me a year and a half, as an NR fan, to fully appreciate its beauty. Challenging but beautiful. God forbid you buy it based on my review!)
