Narcotic V

I am so glad I sampled this before buying. This is exactly Michael Kors from Y2K. It’s not special, sexy, or unique. Others reviewed mentioned it was MK and it’s 100% original Michael Kors. I was expecting the most beautiful white pungent flowers, tart and seductive, but there’s really nothing narcotic about this. Kinda sad tbh, I was really hoping to be blown away!

Sexiest fragrance I ever smelled. I usually hate any hint of musk as a fruity floral diehard, but for some reason the musk dry down on this is still beautiful to me. The description is spot on.

“ a quest for the overwhelming addictive intensity of female sexual power” …. Okay there, please take a seat. It smells like white flowers. That’s it. There’s nothing more to it than white flowers. It’s good! But …The price is double or triple the usual price for a sample and you’re just paying for a dream. The actual perfume just. smells. like. white. flowers.

Reminds me of Carolina Herrera - the black and white polka dot box.

I love white florals unabashedly. I have so many different bottles featuring jasmine, gardenia, tuberose, etc., but this one is special. It just seams to float above the rest. Actually, I think "float" is a perfect word because it surrounds me like an aura, with one foot set paradoxically firmly on the ground. It's glamorous but not vapid - a beautiful woman twice as smart as she is gorgeous. I adore!!!

This is one helluva monster floral. Perfect bridal perfume. Gorgeous mix of Jasmine, and Gardenia. If you love florals, you need to run out and immediately buy this. The quality is 10/10.

Smells like michael kors.

Rech jasmine . love it

Michael Kors is what this smells like on me. Its a one dimensional fragrance, loud but not very interesting.

One of the most feminine smells I've ever tried on. It stays on me for a while. Really beautiful and sexy, kind of along the lines of Coco Mademoiselle - but definitely ups the sexy factor by a ton. Narcotic indeed.

Before I read what this was supposed to smell like, I thought of gardenias. Now that I read tuberose, yes, of course, it's tuberose. To me it is creamy and silky, like an expensive duchess satin biased cut gown in champagne cream draped over Jean Harlow's pert derriere. It is sexy in an utterly feminine and mature way. Not playful. Not cute. It is woman and I think I am about to roar.

Sex Kitten scent!

this is hands down the best fragrance for me! If you are a tuberose lover, this should be in your collection. I bought some in London and I wear it when I want to feel very "va va voom". It is not as sickly sweet as fracas but it packs a punch. love the combination of my favorite flowers!

My favourite tuberose scent. Divine. Heady. Sophisticated. Sensual. My body chemistry loves tuberose as much as my nose; lucky me. And also lucky for my beloved as he adores this scent on me. It combines my other love - the lilly family, so when I saw the key scents in the perfume pyramid I knew this would be a wonderful creation. I can't fault this in any way. The silage floats around me, and the dry down lasts and remains a divine heady scent. If you are a bold tuberose fan then you cannot have this in your collection. Enjoy!

This smells like Michael by Michael Kors on me, which is too bad because it becomes sharp and pungent on me. I wanted to love it, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

just jasmine. not bad, not good. no complexity at all. simple, in a room freshener way.

This is honestly the best perfume I've ever owned. Smells wonderful. Not too sweet, but intriguing enough to grab you. I bought this without trying the sample first because I had heard and read so many good things about it, and it was a risk worth taking. Great purchase.

Narcotic indeed. “A drug (as opium or morphine) that in moderate doses dulls the senses, relieves pain, and induces profound sleep but in excessive doses causes stupor…” (courtesy Merriam-Webster). ‘Narcotic’ is probably the very least of the claims that could be made of this perfume. As an avowed and congenital tuberose addict (I chose tuberose fragrances long before I knew anything about tuberoses, or about fragrance notes), it’s natural I’d want to try this; what was unexpected was the depth of instant addiction to which I tumbled at first (second, third…sixteenth) sniff. Twining, voluptuous tuberose layers over a dark, thrumming summons of a scent—spice, animal, smoke so intricately interwoven that they form a new note altogether, one which might well recall the scent of burning opium. And yet the scent is too insistent, too immediate for the slow, somnolent drift of the opium-smoker: “Narcotic Venus” is olfactory heroin, hitting your frontal lobe in a swift, swelling wave that drags you under and keeps you drowning in its pull. Sillage is moderate, endurance is exceptional…Five stars? Yes. And my firstborn.

There is somehting so intriguing about this parfum. It is a beautiful floral scent, but with a hard chemical edge to it...hence it's name. When you first put it on, I would say it is a cold floral. Like the jasmin, tuberose, and lily have all been frozen...their warmth hidden under the ice. However, after the dry down, the rich floral scents escape and become prominent. The chemical coldness never goes away, but continues to catch your attention throughout the day. I gave four stars for the price versus quantity and I wish it lasted a little bit longer.
