Rose Rouge Edp Vapo 75ml

Product Information

Update: This one really improves on the drydown. The cocoa notes are coming through for me, at long last, and I'm getting a vanillic creaminess that wasn't here before. It reminds me a bit of a Montale, only with all the incensey, oudlike notes removed and somewhat more demure musks. The only danger with this one is that I become slightly anosmic to it and might overspray. The cocoa-rose-liqueur effect is enchanting! In fact, I think I'm going to upgrade this one to a love. I'm glad I chose it for my monthly subscription purse spray; this seems like one I will get a lot of wear from this autumn and winter. I picture armloads of red roses surrounded by open boxes of Valentine's truffles. Not getting the drunken-Halloween-rose that Elena described so memorably, but there's still time, I guess. If such unruliness does develop, I think I might let this rose get me soused and make out with me--why not? I'm not going anywhere. Usually, I go on a date with afragrance I like several times, but for some reason, that didn't happen with Rose Rouge, and I met her again after many months.The bright sun was shining; I was wearing a light dress; I opened the white box of Van Cleef And Arpels's Collection Extraordinaire Miniature Set, took out Rose Rouge, sprayed, expecting that strawberry-chocolate-pink joy, and…

Rose Rouge is also very persistent. I cansmell her scent on my wrist until the evening, and even after a shower, there's still a sweet rose-strawberry trail that remindsme of Marie Laforet's caressing purr: I also appreciate the Collection Extraordinaire editions; they are all well made. I can't call any of them unsuccessful or even passable. Thetender chocolate vanilla in Orchidee Vanille and the melancholic tuberose in autumn leaves of Precious Oud have both taken root in my collection: I love them. And I havethe Halloween-evoking Rose Rouge, although I have a very difficult relationship with her. Edit: If Rose Rouge smells like the pictures of rose wine, dark red roses and the dark fancy chocolates I will be in heaven and so will my husband. If it is that good, it will go on my full bottle wish list. I love the "scary holiday" Halloween, the legends of Samhain, and the aesthetic of the Day of the Dead.I have repeatedly compiled fragrances suitable for these holidays and the weeks leading up to them: fragrances with which you can create the right mood and image.I know probably all the perfumes created with a Halloween aesthetic and a hint of gothic (even if they seem unsuccessful or unbearable to me).

Wish List

As a side note, I can't smell anything ozonic or aquatic here, nor spices. This is a honeyed powdery ambery rose , should you wish to simplify matters . Hard to describe , this Rose is a mature Rose, red for sure, and in full bloom. Opulent, rich smelling and sensual, I think it's meant to seduce... Not that men are prone to love roses, but it has a gourmand tint, a fleshy reference to the very nature of femininity . The lasting power is good on me, with above average silage.... Yet it's not strong, there is a transparency here which clashes with the voluptuous nature of this Rose, giving it contrast and mystery . The honey note morphs into a woody note towards the end of the development, making this scent even more intriguing,

I was negatively disposed toward Rose Rouge before I tested it: I read that this one replaced Rouge Velours, which I recently tested and liked very much, and which in my opinion didn't need replacing. But having tested this one, I have to say it's even better, and although it's still a shame about Rose Velours, this is the one I would have kept in my collection if I had to choose only one as well. Sometimes I'm in the mood for it, sometimes I'm not. It's a sort of mood dependant perfume unlike Parfait De Rosess and Flower L'Elixir, both of which never fail me when I'm hankering for gourmand rose. Parfait de Roses most especially. It is the crowned jewel of rose in my collection ; a unique gourmand rose which nothing else compares to, including Rose Rouge. EDIT 1: I smelled it again on a sweater that I sprayed with this scent on a couple of days before and surprisingly, I actually started to like it more. I guess it's meant for going out during colder evenings. The warm spicy note is prominent. If you like patchouli, benzoin, cacao combination, this scent may be for you. If you are not familiar with Rose Rouge yet, her time is near.If you met Rose Rouge when she was not in the best condition and assertedherself too much, try to return to her now. She knows how to be charming.But for your own safety, do not forget that Rose Rouge can turn into a monster. For me, this is a sexy feminine, nighttime fragrance. Suitable for a date night or a night out when the evening is a bit cooler. I find Rose Rouge never feels heavy or cloying and have worn it on a mild summer night and it was never suffocating.I blind-bought it on online sale from one of department stores without properly testing it, and it turned out to be not for me.
