LeatheryWhat does Castoré Rouge smell like?
The notes don't split into layers; the scent reads as one piece. Bulgarian, Moroccan, Indian, Tunisian and Turkish rose build the floral body, while bitter orange and raspberry add a fruity brightness. Vietnamese oud, castoreum and black ambergris supply a dark, leathery base, and tonka bean softens its edge. The result is rose-led, balanced between sweet fruit and leather. Voters rate it 8.3 out of 10. Atralia Solstice and The Dua Brand Rosa's Thorn have a close profile.
