What does Rouge (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with exotic fruits, passion fruit and citrus fruits. In the heart, cinnamon and clove add a spicy warmth. The base of amber, vanilla, musk, Indian sandalwood, Virginia cedar and Indonesian patchouli softens it into a woody, sweet oriental finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though with few votes these readings are tentative. It is positioned as a women's fragrance. The pairing of a bright fruity start with a spiced base suits those who want something light yet warm. Goutal Les Nuits d'Hadrien and Nicolaï Eau d'Été have a close profile.
