Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Narciso Rouge EDP
A plush, powdery iris and rose musk that wraps you in a cloud of creamy elegance. Rouge exudes grown-up femininity, confidence, and subtle sensuality without ever shouting for attention.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Talco Extrait
This is Talco, plain and simple. If you're after a sophisticated take on baby powder, New Notes delivers exactly that. It's polarising, with some finding it a comforting, clean dream and others dismissing it as too literal and, frankly, overpriced for what it is.

Season and Occasion Fit

Narciso Rouge

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Best in fall and winter due to its warm, powdery, creamy musk and woody base, which envelop and comfort in cooler air. Works beautifully in spring as well, but can feel a touch heavy or cloying in the heat of summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Perfect for date nights and office wear: sensual but understated, never overwhelming. Its refined powdery musk and elegant florals suit professional and romantic settings but may feel too plush or dressed-up for sporty activities.

Talco

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its potent longevity and sillage mean a light hand is needed, making it less ideal for enclosed office spaces or formal events. However, its clean, comforting profile makes it perfect for casual wear, especially at home, and it's even described as a 'perfect after-gym perfume' by some.
