Narcissus Greenlight Extrait is a perfect moniker for this perfume as from the instant it leaves the sprayer there’s a stunning glowing green citrus and mossiness that feels like lights are shimmering with a green hazy glow. Luscious lemon feels creamy and tart with bergamot teasing out darker tones while sketching soft woods around you. Soft stems greens grow through cool dewy mossy hay like Jonquille; its more astringent green tones cleverly are picked up on by elemi and petitgrain, foreshadowing their emergence later in the dry down. Its soft focus honeyed floral haze though captures the bright tones of the citruses making them golden as more of its complex florals bloom into this seductively heady bouquet.

David has brilliantly enhanced the complex floral facets of the Jonquille/narcissus using bright and darker shades to make this floral feel like a lover embracing you wrapped in a fur and not much else with sandalwood and oud along with the mossiness of the narcissus itself giving a very seductive feel to how this perfume smells and wears. If Butch Fougere was a like David dropping a secret edit of a house track, he’s back at the decks again pulling out a rare disco groove, one that’s dripping in the slink and funk only Prince could dream of. Narcissus Greenlight Extrait’s opulent florals and purring animalics create a slinky sexiness that moves like a panther on the dance floor.

As the narcissus unfurls in Phoenicia Perfumes Narcissus Greenlight Extrait you get this fleshy thick and bitable tuberose, that’s also sleek and seductively smooth. It purrs with dirty whispers of champaca in a soft narcotic haze of orange blossom. A soft wink of blackcurrant fleshes out the florals as civet licks the petals into a velvety haze of pleasure. Narcissus Greenlight has a deliciously luxurious vintage feel of fur, yet those citruses still keep that green disco ball lights shining way into the dry down. More florals blossom around the stunning narcissus with jasmine sambac teasing with its darker leathery side as ylang ylang gives a subtle slinky feel. Civet leans florals this hard to describe grace, it fleshes them out and gives them this hypnotic purr of desire, that pinch of magic pulling things into focus while softening others so they melt into this luxurious sexy softness. You know that one carefree person on the dance floor, moving like no other, locked in and blissed out, that all eyes are drawn too.

You can smell the greenery from where all these stunning florals are blooming from, with that bitter petitgrain working as a clever foil against the bouquet of blossoms letting their sweeter side out. A soft smokiness enhances the green glow giving a hint of mystery as to what’s behind these seductive florals, even though it’s already teasing us with the smooth naked skin combination of sandalwood and tuberose. Narcissus Greenlight Extrait ‘s flirty side is gets demure as rose lends its elegance to the bouquet. That slight retreat of desire opens up with a window of voluptuousness with Jasmine getting darker, winking with indoles as Thai ouds stone fruity warmth adding to this round full feel. Soft salt musks give some of the darker tobacco like tones a moreish addictive feel with the jonquille feeling darker as ripe hay with oud gives deep woody waxy nutty aromas. The tuberose reveals its true nature, shedding its modesty and embracing the luxurious, smooth and lightly waxy essence of sandalwood, as the vibrant greens fade into a darker, more seductive realm. Phoenicia Perfumes Narcissus Greenlight Extrait is a heady mix of luxurious florals with a vintage charm letting narcissus’ complex beauty dance under a glittering green disco ball.
