Narciso Rodriguez will release "For Him Musc Santal Eau de Parfum Intense," a new scent in its men's fragrance "For Him Collection," nationwide on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. The price is ¥14,190 (tax included) for 50 mL.
This fragrance expresses more intensely the philosophy of the "For Him Collection," which places musk at the heart of the scent and spreads as if melting into the skin. It is dedicated to the modern man who combines firm confidence with delicate sensitivity.
An Aesthetic Found in Presence: "For Him Musc Santal Eau de Parfum Intense"
"For Him Musc Santal Eau de Parfum Intense" is characterized by a woody musky accord.
In the top notes, clary sage and juniper create a dignified stillness, and the musk in the heart notes blends gently on the skin. In the base notes, sandalwood and cedarwood add a rich warmth, and a profound aesthetic lingers.
What the "For Him Collection" portrays is a choice not to flaunt masculinity. Rather than showing strength outwardly, it expresses a confidence that dwells in stillness, restraint and space. The collection is described as one meant not to add something by wearing a fragrance, but to bring out the appeal already within.
An Aesthetic Woven from Hidden "Duality"
"For Him Musc Santal" tells of the beauty of hidden, contrasting "duality." Dignified stillness and enveloping warmth, refined elegance and a wildness that melts into the skin intersect in complex ways on the skin.
The company explains that wearing this delicate contrast quietly, without proclaiming it, is a true aesthetic of our time. It aims to leave a deep, quiet afterglow in the presence of the wearer.
Harmony of Refined Design and Scent
The product design also expresses the brand's hallmark "dialogue through contrast."
The frosted gray glass bottle, with its architectural, sharp lines, conveys a refined tranquility through its smooth texture. In contrast, the charcoal gray natural wood cap on top brings the warmth and rugged feel unique to natural wood.
The interplay of different materials is said to reflect the very structure of the scent, which holds a duality hidden within the bottle. From the moment you hold it to when it sits in a room, it gives off a beautiful, quiet presence like a finely honed object.
A Perfect Duo Fragrance Resonating with "For Her"
In 2026, Narciso Rodriguez completed a duo that resonates across the boundary between women's and men's fragrances.
"For Her Pure Musc Blanc Eau de Parfum Intense," released in April 2026, portrays a world of pure white radiance and light. The newly arriving "For Him Musc Santal Eau de Parfum Intense" is a world of serene, profound afterglow, woven from a refreshing aroma and the shadows of rich sandalwood.
The two scents, linked by the brand's signature "Heart of Musk," are described as bringing out the best in each other, like light and shadow. Going beyond the frame of simply a women's and a men's fragrance, they are proposed as a new pair of fragrances that resonate with a partner and enhance each other's individuality.
