If Duro is the celebration of masculinity, then Narcotic V. (previously Narcotic Venus) is a complete dedication to femininity. The fragrance is a result of a quest for an overwhelming addictive intensity of a female. The name “Narcotic Venus” refers to the intoxicating addiction and is a homage to Venus, the goddess of love and ceremony of ultimate femininity and sensuality. With this fragrance, The Nose wanted to capture the moment of the attraction of a woman passing by, the glance and an immediate addiction. Historically speaking, a flower has been perceived as a symbol of a woman. For The Nose, a woman is a wild flower, that by opening up, charms and seduces with her revealed intoxicating sexuality.
Narcotic V. is a very intense floral scent that might remind of a provocative tuberose smell. The inspirations behind the scent are the rousing, heady floral rendezvous The Nose has had. During his trip to Brazil, he first encountered an exotic Brazilian Monguba flower, the smell that has been reproduced in this fragrance. Another one took place during a hospital visit. The hospital, an environment that is supposed to be sterile and unscented, was suddenly filled with a luscious scent of the flowers that one visitor brought in. This intoxicating floral sweetness slapped The Nose suddenly in the face. Narcotic V. is an instant, highly addictive elixir of attraction that evokes overwhelming female sexual power.
The Cap of The Bottle is made out of zebrawood, a wildwood found in the jungles of Africa and Central America.
