What does Rouge smell like?

It opens with bergamot, pink pepper and Lapsang Souchong tea, spicy and a little smoky. The heart brings amber, magnolia and gaiac wood, so the floral side rests on a woody footing. Patchouli, sandalwood and tonka bean carry it down to a sweet, powdery, warm base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Half of voters find it feminine, and a good share call it classic. Dior Ambre Nuit and Oriflame Amber Elixir Night have a close profile.
