I’m an instant fan of All of Me by Narciso Rodriguez

I like to think of myself as a fragrance chameleon. I can’t say I have a specific signature scent, because I gravitate more towards the feelings that a fragrance brings out in me. I have favorites, yes, but the scent that I choose for the day ultimately depends on what I want to feel. Fresh? Lighthearted? Romantic? Powerful? I think of perfume as part of the story I want to tell about myself at any given time.

Recently, Narsciso Rodriguez Philippines sent over their latest perfume creation called All of Me (P5,850 / 50ml and P7,400 / 90ml). I’m not going to mince my words: it was love at first spray. You know how sometimes you want a scent that's both soft and strong? Something that doesn’t scream but makes its presence felt? That's exactly what All of Me is. The blend of delicate rose centifolia with the unexpected kick of geranium bourbon has me hooked! It's like wearing a silky dress with edgy boots - the perfect mix of feminine and bold.

Geranium bourbon, which one might note (pun intended), is usually reserved for masculine perfumes. This unexpected pairing with rose centifolia creates a prismatic dance between the tender and the robust. Now, before you worry about it being overtly masculine, let me assure you: it’s nothing of that sort. The blend is so seamlessly done, making it an emblem of contemporary feminity.

And then there's the signature musc accord by Narciso Rodriguez – that tantalizing, familiar scent that we've come to associate with the brand. Here, in All of Me, it's been revamped. With a cocktail of six different musc notes, there’s a depth to it, creating that addictive, second-skin aura that draws people closer. It’s that base note that smells milky, almost like vanilla that makes it so special! My husband doesn’t usually like my perfume choices (I don’t usually care!), but he likes All of Me because of that sweet note.

I love how this perfume stays on me for about six to seven hours, and even smells nice when I eventually get sweaty.

All of Me by Narciso Rodriguez is not just a fragrance—it’s a statement. It celebrates the modern woman's multifaceted nature and invites her to wear every aspect of her persona with pride. If you’re on the hunt for a new signature scent that’s both intriguing and meaningful, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

You can find Narciso Rodriguez fragrances in Rustan’s, department stores, and in their Lazada Flagship Store.
