SOTD: Narciso Rodriguez for Him Bleu Noir Eau de Parfum

It opens with a crisp, slightly fresh nuance before settling into warm, textured woods and amber in the base, with blue cedar, ebony, and vetiver providing depth and masculinity. The result is smooth, sensual, and understated elegance rather than loud projection. Performance is moderate, with 6–8 hours of longevity and a subtle arm’s-length sillage for the first couple of hours. Compared to the Eau de Toilette, the EDP is richer, woodier, and more intimate, making it a perfect evening or cooler-weather scent for those who want quiet sophistication. Overall rating 8.3/10.
