Okay, so, I’ve been seeing this fragrance everywhere lately, Narciso Rodriguez for Him Bleu Noir, and my curiosity finally got the best of me. I mean, the name itself sounds kind of fancy, right?

First off, I did a little digging online. Turns out, Narciso Rodriguez is this American fashion designer dude with Cuban roots. The internet also tells me it’s available on a bunch of different websites and there’s an “extreme” version of it, too.
So, after seeing it online so much, I decided to go check it out in person. I went to a few different stores, just browsing around, you know, pretending like I was just passing by. The bottle looked pretty sleek, I gotta admit. I saw it comes in a 3.3 Fl. Oz bottle that was always mentioned, and, I guess, I was sold on the dark blue bottle design. They also have gift sets, but it’s not the season yet.
Anyway, I finally decided to just buy the darn thing. I mean, everyone online was talking about it, so it had to be good, right? I went with the regular 3.3 Fl. Oz size, and I’ve been wearing it for a few days now.
The first time I sprayed it on, I was like, “Whoa, this is different.” It’s not like those super strong colognes that punch you in the face. It’s more subtle, kind of musky, but in a good way. Like, imagine walking through a forest after it rains. That’s the vibe I get.
- First try: Sprayed it on before work. Got a few compliments, which was nice.
- Second try: Wore it out to dinner with some friends. One of my buddies asked me what I was wearing, said it smelled “sophisticated.”
- Third try: Just a casual day, running errands. I could still smell it on myself hours later, which is always a plus.
I’ve been wearing it almost daily now, and I’m really digging it. It’s not too overpowering, but it still makes a statement. And the scent really lasts. I can spray it on in the morning, and I can still catch whiffs of it in the evening.

So, yeah, that’s my little adventure with Narciso Rodriguez for Him Bleu Noir. I took a chance, and I’m glad I did. It’s become my new go-to scent, and I can see why everyone’s been talking about it. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for something new and a little different.
