The available performance feedback points from moderate to long lasting, with some wearers experiencing very persistent wear. Sillage appears moderate to strong rather than intimate. Because the vote base is small and the composition includes sharp green and aldehydic materials, start with a light application and adjust after testing on skin.
Notes Pyramid

Narciso is green, yellow floral, aldehydic, mossy and earthy. The scent opens with cold leafy brightness from galbanum, hyacinth and aldehydes, then develops into ripe narcissus with jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang and tuberose. Oakmoss and vetiver give the dry-down a damp, woody, undergrowth feel.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe yellow floral accord carries the narcissus theme, but the green and aldehydic facets shape the first impression just as much. Galbanum and hyacinth make the opening cool and leafy, while oakmoss, vetiver and earthy tones darken the base. The sweetness sits low, more like floral ripeness than dessert sugar.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Narciso by Michele Bianchi Review”
Narciso by Michele Bianchi is not a soft, polished floral in the usual sense. It is built around the life of a wild narcissus flower, and that idea comes through clearly in the structure. The perfume starts with greenery, cold floral air and a slightly cutting brightness, then moves toward a richer narcissus heart before sinking into moss, earth and woods.
The opening is the most vivid part. Galbanum and hyacinth give it a green snap, while aldehydes add lift and a cool, almost sparkling edge. This is where Narciso may feel most demanding if you prefer creamy florals or sweet crowd-pleasers. It has freshness, but the freshness is leafy and aromatic rather than shower-clean.
As it warms, the floral body becomes fuller. Narcissus is the center, supported by jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang and tuberose. The white and yellow floral tones can feel ripe and textured, with more personality than a simple bouquet. There is sweetness in the background, but it does not dominate. The perfume keeps a green, slightly earthy tension around the flowers.
The dry-down is where the concept becomes darker. Oakmoss and vetiver pull the scent toward damp undergrowth, dry wood and shaded soil. That mossy finish is important because it stops Narciso from becoming only bright or decorative. It gives the fragrance a melancholic, grounded quality that will appeal to people who like florals with atmosphere.
Performance feedback is limited but points to a scent that can be noticeable. Longevity votes range from moderate to long lasting, with some very strong impressions, and sillage is mostly described as moderate to strong. This means Narciso is worth applying with restraint at first, especially in warm weather or close indoor settings.
Narciso is easiest to recommend to fragrance lovers who already enjoy green florals, narcissus, aldehydes, galbanum, oakmoss or chypre-like textures. It is less likely to satisfy someone looking for a clean musky floral, a sugary white floral, or a simple everyday office scent. For the right taste, it offers a distinctive green floral arc from bloom to forest floor.
