I dislike the original AdG, always have because of the bitterness and strange orange synthetic note. The Essenza after one wear won me over, smooth opening, soft woodiness once it settles down....

Has anybody tried it, or have any information on it? Is it any different than the regular one, or just in a limited edition bottle? I haven't seen it around anywhere, but apparently it is available.

I was told by the SA at Holt Redfern in Vancouver BC that the fragrance is the same. I agree that the grey bottle is actually more impressive.

The regular NR for Him is in a grey bottle and you can't tell how much is left in it.

(irish resentfully watching SirSlarty and Snafoo) Ok it is grey. Dark grey, as in "almost black". And I agree, the opaque painting was not a great idea. This is the only perfume where i have gone from 1 ml. vial to mini, to 10 ml. decant, to full 3.4 bottle. It took me a while to like it, but something got me hooked since the first time I smelled it.

This argument could be leveled at several fragrances, including C&S #88, Rive Gauche, Kouros, etc. I've found that if juice stops coming out when I push down on the little sprayer button thingey, then it's time to buy a new bottle!

I saw the bottle in Nordstrom and fell for it. It looks so cool in the silver - I wanted a bottle but I already have the large gray one and I have yet to make a dent in that bottle.

Speaking of its strength, acceptfacts had a experimental layering thread and I was asked to layer Rochas Man with NR Him. The results were a fight to the death between the two but NR's viiolet won over the mocha accord in Rochas Man.

I saw the shiny bottle at Saks in Chi-town about a month and a half ago... I have to say that I like the regular bottle better.

Sorry but this information is incorrect. Narcisco Rodriguez For Him Musc Collection is an edp and a different formulation than the regular one. The differences are explained in this informative review by Somerville Metro Man:

I realized that this thread was a year old after I replied but I thought I'd leave it up there for the link anyway. So there was a limited edition bottle of the regular edt in 2008? So, if I have this straight, now there's the regular edt, the limited edition Musc Collection edp that I was talking about, and the perfume oil?
