Narcissus

Yardley London Narcissus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000. Narcissus opens with Narcissus and Orange, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley and Hyacinth, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Amber. Yardley London's Narcissus carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive floral. Some find a fresh, sweet narcissus, while others are met with a sharp, unpleasant hit. Not a safe blind buy, but if it works for you, it really works.

Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, not overpowering. The fresh and somewhat classic floral profile works for casual outings, but might lack the modern punch for a dynamic date night or the gravitas for formal events.

About

Narcissus opens with a keen, almost green interpretation of its namesake bloom, sharpened by a zesty orange. This initial burst transitions into a classically 'white floral' heart of lily of the valley and hyacinth, bringing a dewy, almost watery freshness. The drydown settles into a soft, woody amber, providing a comforting, albeit subtle, warmth that grounds the otherwise bright floral bouquet.
