i looooooove this fragrance. It takes a lil bit to get used to as someone who is younger and new to the frag scene, it's abit mature smelling. but it smells amazing after awhile
I’ve been wearing this on milder summer days. No problem. It’s a pleasure to wear. Can handle the heat with its milder sweetness. 👍🏻. This fragrance is amazing. Right up there with the best of this genre in my opinion. In fact, this one has a little bit of an edge over the others due to its versatility.
I love Iris based fragrances. I think that they smell very classy. Givenchy Gentleman EDP, Valentino Uomo Intense, Dior Homme Intense and the original Dior Homme are some of my favorite fragrances that I own. They're the type of fragrances that I don't care if nobody else likes them because I just love the way they smell. I can't wait to get my hands on the new Narciso Rodriguez!
I got my bottle of this a couple of weeks ago. It is absolutely a compliment puller. I like the fresher take of this one. Very pleased that I purchased this.
Just ordered it. I'm a IRIS freak. Have Valentino Uomo intense, Christian Dior Homme original, intense and parfum. Might venture into clone houses like Dua as I've heard their inspiration of Dior Homme intense is to die for. Thanks for the review Sir.
@@alexg.9279 that must be your skin, it lasts fine on me for 6+ hours, just doesnt project. Becomes a very close scent at like 2 hours but lingers for a few hours afterwards. Pour homme lasts longer and smells similiar but is more pricey. Only 2 i like in the versace line.
This is easily my favorite purchase of the year so far. As a lark, I started keeping track of what I wear daily, and I’ve been wearing it at least twice a month since March.
This is an awesome fragrance in my opinion. Very versatile and nose friendly. Just about done with the bottle I've had for almost two years and I will be purchasing a new one.
I just got my VU and VUI last tuesday and they're amazing. Impossible to find in my country so i had to buy it in EU.....luckly a friend that lives there was coming to visit and brought my bottles!! Not redundant at all to own, very different. Always liked the Narciso line to be honest, they're worth their price nice quality.
Have not smelled it yet, will look for it. The Narciso Rodriguez for Him EDT I have smelled. Its drydown never made me think of rain at all though, but it clearly reminded me of Quorum.
Narciso Rodriguez ❤I have pure Musc for her Musc nior rose for her both of them are my signature sent at this time, pure Musc right out of the shower and layer on top with musc nior rose ❤ I purchased blue noir parfum for him and I love ❤️ it. I bought it for my husband but I think I can wear it ❤
@TerrainJeremy3945 It has a light sweetness.. but not a dry cocoa smell.. if you imagine DHI as a blue, shower gel kind of scent... I personally much prefer DHI... but I enjoy the dry cocoa
There aren't too many designer fragrances that can beat DHI. In fact, IMO, there are only two. Those two would be BDC Parfum and Dior Homme Parfum...and I go back and forth on whether or not I prefer BDC Parfum over DHI. Dior Homme Parfum is the best designer fragrance I've ever smelled, and a top five fragrance in my collection. The other two also sit in my top 10 favorite for my collection.
I have a couple of samples sprayers of that stuff. I got it last winter. It didnt do much for me when I sampled it, but I'll have to give it another try and see what it does
Ash you should do a review titled " Best fragrance bottle designs" because sometimes I collect fragrances based on how nice or classy the bottle itself is. Some are very attractive.
I was already familiar with valentino oumo intense - and then got blue noir , because of all the hype . Disappointing. I can’t tell the different between blue noir and Valentino oumo intense. The earlier blue noirs sound more interesting. Cheers Ash 🥂
Narciso rodriguez bleu noir edp I've found to be very challenging, it begins ok but i get something that smells like women's hair dye and the dry down kind of became like female sweat and very musky and some earthy vetiver and i don't particularly like it much at the moment but that could change after some wearing of it i guess, I'm wondering if i should of got the bleu noir extreme instead
You're the 1st person I've heard say that.I totally agree with you.All I get out of it is musk.Overpowering, animalic musk.I've worn it several times.Just don't like it.And now really have no interest in anything from this line.
Narciso Rodriguez for Him by Narciso Rodriguez is even more challenging lol. Narciso Rodriguez line can be polarizing and blind buying can be a mistake. It's definitely a case of sampling before purchasing. From what I gather Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir is not quite as strong, but...
At 1st I didn’t like it though it smelled like an old man…. But Now I tried it again smells nice…… Fresh and powdery and green…. The performance isn’t out of this world but 8-10 sprays will last you a whole work day… especially if your gonna be sweating that’s when it opens up big time
Howdy! I just got into the world of cologne and I figured I couldnt go wrong with an everyday scent of Narciso Rodriquez bleu noir EDP. Im looking for something I can wear all throughout the year - so I bought a bottle of NR Bleu Noir EDP. Im also just bought Spicebomb extreme for those late night events. So far im starting with those 2. Any suggestions for my beginning rotation? I feel like an oldschool guy and have been looking at Bleu de Chanel EDP, Tom Ford Hombre Leather, Fahrenheit Parfum, Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum, Sauvage Elixir, and PDM Layton. Im also really intrigued by the PDM Sedley, or Versace Eros EDP for a warmer weather all day scent. Any suggestions? Much love
I’ve got my bottle arriving in the mail today 🔥🔥 looking forward to an alternative dumb reach as I’ve been reaching for my Dior Homme Parfum quite a bit lately. Would prefer to not run thru my bottle as fast
Has NOTHING to do with Bleu Noir and everything to do with Valentino Uomo Intense - its a hard tell which one is better. This Parfum projects slightly less, is slightly less sweet, a bit smoother and muskier and without the satisfyingly dense lipsticky vibe you get off the top from VUI and Dior Homme Intense. Like Ash says, its smells great and what makes this nice is that nothing really sticks out like a sore thumb - I just find it a touch sweet and that if it were even slightly less sweet than it is, it'd be an ever better fragrance.
Hi, so which Blue Noir should I buy? The notes from all the options are different. The only one that I smelled was the EDT Extreme, but 90% of reviews all say that performance is very weak. Like an hour or so. Any advice?
I need really your help. I use the sample of Rodriguez for him few months ago It was smell. Amazing. I loved it But I forgot which one it was. It was very warm, spicy, no clean, no citric or freshness. More Woody spice perfect for winter. Which Rodriguez was that for him?
I blind bought this after checking out several reviews like these: why didnt anybody mention this smells like armani code parfum or even the code edp? If you have code parfum, this bleu noir is redundant.
@Tripttt hey! We 2 years further since my comment and I can say that, IF you are an iris fan, its not redundant. ARMANI has that code note that BN does not have. BN is closer to Givenchy gentleman reserve prive. Im an iris fan so I wear them al for nuances.
I have the 2012 Dior Homme, and this smells very close to me. The Dior Homme being a little brighter and it develops more on skin. At first spray it's hard to tell them apart.
@@filip_lindberg1112 I think they are very similar, but perhaps the Dior Homme original is more pleasant to wear over time. The Bleu Noir feels a bit more heavy to me. And it's a classic!

Absolutely totally in love with it. Believe it or not, I've managed to accumulate 10 freaking Bottles ! I think I have a problem.
Nice im jealous
This fragrance is freaking gorgeous
10 bottles is enough
10 bottles of the same fragrance or 10 bottles of different fragrances?
Because I have about 40 different bottles
I’ve never really been into iris notes tbh, but this one might be one of my favourite fragrances at the moment. Thank you for the recommendation!
Got myself a bottle 2 weeks ago can’t wait to use it in the winter 🥶 here in England was going to get Greed Aventus glad I got this instead
Greed Aventus! Classic!!!! 💯👍🏼
Narciso Rodriguez for Him EDP is still the best fragrance the house ever released In my opinion. Tried this yesterday and really liked it.
Really hope they bring it back one day or at the very least it gets cloned. There are ZERO clones of it out there...
@@thenooboverthere3882 indeed
Givenchy Gentlemen EDT Intense is a similar take, but the NR is classier and more dense.
I just got this in, and dayyyyyum it’s 🔥🔥🔥
I love this fragrance...picked up a bottle a couple months ago and i like it more and more everyday

its so close to V Uomo Intense but this is a bit less densely sweet and a bit muskier so I think its a hair bit more versatile.
Very clean sophisticated, you hit every description right on the money, love this fragrance.

This is nice.. wearing it today.. but I still prefer the dry, coco, refined profile of Dior Homme Intense
Oh absolutely! DHI is a masterpiece!
Does this one smell like DHI? I dont like the chocolate cocoa smell but i love iris and orris

@@jodee8831 Thank you. I just wanted to make sure it didn't have a gourmand vibe at all. I hate gourmand fragrances.

And I was literally just watching an interview with Sonia Constant on Ashley's channel (Ashley in Paris). 😄
Just received it. Sprayed it. Beautiful.

I feel like the Iris trend really didn’t pop off. Just like Vetiver, it’s a bit much for the regular person.
Both aren't for noobs
They are overlooked 'cause they are hard to find and because they are weak. Still niche quality.
The EDT AND EDP original for hims are not weak at all. Did you mean the Bleu Noir line is weak? Never tried them.
Parfum is quite weak. The projection is about 1 hr. Then it comes closer. But I love the smell.
Would you say that this is a blue iris scent like Givenchy Gentleman EDT Intense ?

I'm supriced that you did not mention prada lomme intense in the same leauge as Dior homme, valentino and genthelman.
É meu perfume favorito!
how does it compare to Prada L'homme Intense?
Great video Ash…def gotta get my nose on this!! 👍
I'm really confused by the whole Narciso Rodriguez men's section, they're black-blue fragrances which smell kind of grey
Bottle reminds me of DG The One
awesome video. thx!!
You should get your hands on stronger with you OUD Ash, it's amazing

After several months how do you like it?
@@TADDs101 it’s a very well composed Iris fragrance with blue sensibilities.
I would recommend it.
It’s for the cooler weather tho imo
Wasn't this video previously released? I could have sworn Ash uploaded this a couple weeks ago.
Hopefully this popularity for iris makes prada bring back lhomme leau and lhomme intense
Does it smell similar to givenchy gentleman edt intense?
Can u compare it with Prada L’Homme intense?
Both totally different
Have you heard of French Waltz by golf le fluer? It'd be really nice if you reviewed it.
Is there any similarity with Prada L'homme intense..? is it better or this is something else...
Doesn't smell like prada lhomme intense the Narciso Rodriguez parfum is better
@@christopherames6967 that's a bold statement...I've try it out last week and i think prada is just a little bit better...but it's only my opinion
Which do you like more between Armani code parfum and Bleu noir parfum?
I was wondering that same thing because I've heard another fragrance reviewer mention he'd rather go for this over code parfum so
Just looked it up but not in Aust yet
That smells like Bruce Wayne cruising the streets in the Dark Knight Trilogy
You know what? Your comment, just sold me a bottle of this cologne. I'm about to order it right now.

Fragrance buy ca code?
I'm getting mine in two days. Blind buy of course 😅
Is it long lasting ?
Better than Prada L'Homme?
Different route. Still great I've worn it two days back to back. I'm impressed.
Stay brave out there.
Which to choose, the EDP or Parfum?
Depends what you like. EDP sits close to the skin but LASTS all day. It's musky, woody and smells clean. Haven't tried the parfum yet
Can you compare this with John Varvatos Artisan Pure. They smell the same. Which one lasts longer?
Do u think this would be safe in a workplace ?
I wish I’d seen these videos before buying the 10 ml sample thinking it was the edp but the parfum turned up. I hate iris
The EDP is 🔥 I love it and it is very inexpensive. I want to try this one though hopefully I like it.
It is nice BUT for me smells like Valentino Uomo edt :)
Excellent Review.
For Hilm?
I think it smells a bit like F Black by Ferragamo
Idk bout you guys but it's not stronf
Ghost🔥
ash maybe your favorite fragrance commercials? or top most cringy :D
‘Woody, earthy notes’ - I call it patchouli.
Thank me later 😊
