What does Rouge smell like?
Both its longevity and its sillage are rated very strong, so it suits people who want a rich fragrance that leaves a trail. Its value for money also gets high marks from voters. It sits comfortably on men and women alike.
Saffron and bitter almond give a spicy, sweet opening. In the heart, cedar builds a woody backbone while Egyptian jasmine adds a floral softness. The base of musk, amber and woody notes closes it with a powdery, creamy warmth, and the overall impression stays sweet with a synthetic sheen. Prada Luna Rossa Black and Pierre Guillaume 4.1 Le Musc & La Peau have a close profile.
