I love this perfume. I adore vintage caron extrait in general. NN is gorgeous, white floral orange blossom, decadent. It reminds me (in a very good way) of the various bottles on my grandmother's...

Finally! A Caron I like and something that can compete with my vintage Bal a Versailles parfum. This has a civet-y orange blossom that is reminiscent of Bal a Versailles. No cloying orange...

This review is for the EDT consistency. Oh how I love this perfume! It's my go-to scent for spring! It is divine and complicated, it smells like an adventure. I can't describe it any better than...

Being a fan of Caron scents, I ended up adding this to my collection unsniffed. I always wanted an orange blossom scent where the orange blossom stayed noticeable on my skin, normally it turns to...

This smelled fantastic in the tester--like a sweet melange of orange blossoms and delicious ripe fruit trees in an orchard. The moment it hit my skin it turned dusty, musty, and like medicated...

Narcisse Noir- neither narcise or noir. Orange blossom with slightly sour finish on me, actually went through sample, just to be sure I wasn't missing something. Nope. Nice orange blossom, but...

Naughty oranges. That´s what spring to mind. I have the EdT and love it dearly. Whenever I wear this, I have a feeling that I´m a star in an old-fashioned black-and-white movie. Red lipstick,...

I bought a bottle of this a skillion years ago, just because of the cool name, but I don't remember actually wearing it. Trying it again recently, I think I've figured out why. It's a lovely white...

I have to be honest here: Narcisse Noir is beautiful, artful, and I'll never wear it. It is impossible for me on two counts; 1) it works a nag champa note that has too many sad memories for me to...

I don't understand the concept of this reformulation. The only impression I have had is a woman emerging from the ancient times (let's say the 17th or 18th century) suffering incontinence and not...

I bought this based on the reviews here and on several perfume blogs/sites, since the whole accord sounded so mysterious and dark. I have fairly broad taste in perfumes, liking many disparate types...

I bought Narcisse Noir hoping it would be dramatic and dark and sexy and slightly homicidal perhaps. And... it isn't. I know some of you ladies stress the dark edge with this, but to me Narcisse...

Oh wow, does this ever not agree with me. I normally love vintage scents containing civet and musk, but on first smell this is pure bug spray. Then I get cloying, overwhelming, sickeningly sweet,...

Wrong fragrance in the decant? I didn't smell orange blossom or any other the other poetic things noted by previous reviewers. This was a scrubber. Too heavy and vintage for even my Tabac Blond...

Narcisse Noir was my first Caron, and it's still one of my favorites. Orange blossom usually reminds me of sunshine and summer days, but in Narcisse Noir, it broods and pounds out a mean rendition...

Actually I would give this one a 3.5. It's quite unique for an orange blossom scent, in that it has a bit of edge, unlike most orange blossom fragrances. It has some spice to it, and I believe a...

Big disappointment. When I first sniffed it I expected a dark, mysterious fragrance. It actually smells like a cheap "buzz off" lotion to my nose. Sigh.
