What does Rouge (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters call it feminine and modern; autumn and spring lead, though votes spread across all four seasons. It is mostly chosen for nights out, evenings and leisure time.

The scent reads as a whole: a floral body of ylang-ylang, osmanthus, magnolia and lily, with the woody note of Georgywood® alongside. It carries a sweet, creamy and lightly spicy side, while green and fruity touches freshen the flowers. A synthetic sheen runs through it.
