What does Rouge smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, then spring and winter, with summer further behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, though office and daytime use also get votes. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it doesn't lean to either side.

Pink pepper and Indonesian ginger open it with a spicy edge. Egyptian geranium leaf and beetroot at the heart add a green, earthy tone. Frankincense, patchouli and labdanum settle into a resinous, woody, smoky warmth at the base, while the fruity and sweet accords soften that dryness a little.
