What does Rose Rouge smell like?

It begins with French blackcurrant absolute and pink pepper, a fruity brightness with a light spicy edge. In the heart, Turkish rose and cocoa absolute take over, and the scent turns sweet, somewhere between floral and gourmand. Patchouli and vetiver in the base ground that sweetness with an earthy backdrop.

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, with summer further behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear, and also gets votes for daytime and office. More than half of voters read it as feminine. Novellista Couture Chic and Valentino Valentino Donna have a close profile.
