Narciso Rodriguez For Her: EDT or EDP, How to Get It Right

· 2 min read · Lire en français

TL;DR: For Her comes in several concentrations with noticeably different profiles — the EDT more woody and orange blossom, the EDP richer in rose and patchouli — not counting the Musc versions in a black bottle that often cause confusion.

A musk that became the house's signature

Narciso Rodriguez built a whole family of perfumes around a recognizable musk accord, declined across several concentrations and compositions that share this same base while varying the accompanying notes.

EDT vs EDP: two different takes on the same accord

The Eau de Toilette (black bottle, launched in 2004) pairs the musk with orange blossom and woodier notes. The Eau de Parfum (pink bottle, launched in 2006) takes the same musky base but surrounds it with rose and patchouli, for a result generally described as richer and more complex than the EDT.

Watch out for bottle confusion

A point of confusion regularly flagged by enthusiasts: the house has declined For Her across several bottles (black, pale pink, white, speckled) and several concentrations (EDP, EDT, perfume oil), which can make buying online tricky if you don't carefully check the exact product reference.

Santal Musc: a more recent, woodier variant

Santal Musc, released later, pairs the same signature musky accord with ylang-ylang, cardamom, and sandalwood — a woodier, spicier take on the original theme, for those who've already explored the original EDT and EDP.

Which one should you choose

  • For a fresher, woodier profile: the EDT (black bottle).
  • For a richer, more sophisticated profile: the EDP (pink bottle).
  • For a woodier, spicier take: Santal Musc.
