New scent by Narciso Rodriguez is both flowery and firm

Narciso Rodriguez has whipped up a multidimensional musk-and-floral cocktail with his new "floral woody musk" eau de toilette L'Eau for Her.

Sparkly top notes of cyclamen, jasmine, peony and lily of the valley waft away and dry down into musk and patchouli. Like so many scents this season, this one is a transformer, a knockout drop that starts out sweet and playful and then delivers a sultry whomp. $77 (1.6 oz.) or $104 (3.3 oz.); at Saks Fifth Avenue, 611 Fifth Ave., 212-753-4000
