Rose Rouge Edp Vapo 75ml

Product Information

The idea behind this creation is about much more than crafting the scent of a rose it is about the uniqueness of a new rose... Like a botanist I sought to recreate a rose with the imagination of the Maison.” EDIT 2: l think a man could definitely pull it off as well. Especially the opening. The scent is warm spicy, but not in a very feminine, sweet way. Its sensual floral heart is composed of Turkish Rose Essence and a unique rose that perfectly expresses the botanical sensations of the rose plant. In the base notes an unexpected gourmand influence (cocoa absolute) mingles with the refined notes of a modern chypre composed of precious woods patchouli and vetiver. For its Collection Extraordinaire the Maison Van Cleef & Arpels has drawn its focus to an exceptional flower the rose. The bloom that is also known as the “Queen of Flowers” has been the centre of attention for centuries and an endless source of inspiration for poets and writers painters and perfumers. The Maison approached its new creation just like those botanists crafting a rose from scratch: The Van Cleef & Arpels Rose. As a side note, I can't smell anything ozonic or aquatic here, nor spices. This is a honeyed powdery ambery rose , should you wish to simplify matters .

Rose Rouge sounded hoarse and rough, and when I rushed to the sink to wash it off, she covered me with cotton candy. Getting rid of Rose Rouge was not easy. Actually, it didn't work at all. She turned out to be stronger. I managed to drown it out, but for a long time, it tormented me with its cloying sweetness. Rose Rouge by Van Cleef & Arpels is very temperature dependent and definitely for the perfume fan with a sweet tooth. I love the "scary holiday" Halloween, the legends of Samhain, and the aesthetic of the Day of the Dead.I have repeatedly compiled fragrances suitable for these holidays and the weeks leading up to them: fragrances with which you can create the right mood and image.I know probably all the perfumes created with a Halloween aesthetic and a hint of gothic (even if they seem unsuccessful or unbearable to me).EDIT 1: I smelled it again on a sweater that I sprayed with this scent on a couple of days before and surprisingly, I actually started to like it more. I guess it's meant for going out during colder evenings. The warm spicy note is prominent. If you like patchouli, benzoin, cacao combination, this scent may be for you. Sometimes I'm in the mood for it, sometimes I'm not. It's a sort of mood dependant perfume unlike Parfait De Rosess and Flower L'Elixir, both of which never fail me when I'm hankering for gourmand rose. Parfait de Roses most especially. It is the crowned jewel of rose in my collection ; a unique gourmand rose which nothing else compares to, including Rose Rouge. I got it in the mail today, I sprayed it and... it was instant LOVE, on its way to becoming one of my all-time favorites. For the record, I'm generally a lover of all rose-based fragrances, and I have a thing for the rose-rasperry combo. I especially enjoy chocolate, cacao and hazelnut spread notes, so this sounded right up my alley. When I saw it heavily discounted... it had to be mine! 😍 Update: This one really improves on the drydown. The cocoa notes are coming through for me, at long last, and I'm getting a vanillic creaminess that wasn't here before. It reminds me a bit of a Montale, only with all the incensey, oudlike notes removed and somewhat more demure musks. The only danger with this one is that I become slightly anosmic to it and might overspray. The cocoa-rose-liqueur effect is enchanting! In fact, I think I'm going to upgrade this one to a love. I'm glad I chose it for my monthly subscription purse spray; this seems like one I will get a lot of wear from this autumn and winter. I picture armloads of red roses surrounded by open boxes of Valentine's truffles. Not getting the drunken-Halloween-rose that Elena described so memorably, but there's still time, I guess. If such unruliness does develop, I think I might let this rose get me soused and make out with me--why not? I'm not going anywhere. If you are not familiar with Rose Rouge yet, her time is near.If you met Rose Rouge when she was not in the best condition and assertedherself too much, try to return to her now. She knows how to be charming.But for your own safety, do not forget that Rose Rouge can turn into a monster.

Rose Rouge was charming.But I didn't trust her anymore.I could answer her with words from the same song, " Et je n'y croirais jamais plus."I can't trust her anymore...

My Account

Rose Rouge Van Cleef & Arpels is not one of them. They didn't try to make her gothic, Halloweeny, or festively frightening. But that's exactly how she turned out.

The performance is pretty solid.I has fairly strong projection for 3-4 hours, but then settles quite close to the skin for the rest of the wear. Although it stays fairly soft it lasts all day, at least 10 hours on skin. I can smell it on clothing the nest day.I was negatively disposed toward Rose Rouge before I tested it: I read that this one replaced Rouge Velours, which I recently tested and liked very much, and which in my opinion didn't need replacing. But having tested this one, I have to say it's even better, and although it's still a shame about Rose Velours, this is the one I would have kept in my collection if I had to choose only one as well. I blind-bought it on online sale from one of department stores without properly testing it, and it turned out to be not for me. From a rose perfume collector .... ( me )..... Having lived through a " rose obsessive " phase, in which I aquired all sorts of rose scented perfumes, ranging from the popular designer to the most expensive niches , I happened to stumble across Rose Velours and jump on it like a hungry wolf . Surely I must have a loose screw somewhere, if I need one more rose perfume, considering I already have a ridiculous variety of them. Not quite so. I have been trying in my mind finding one similar and I cannot. This has the opulence of Highness Rose, it has the elegance of Sa Majeste la Rose, it has the strength of Taif Roses, the freshness of the Zephir d'une Rose , the powder or Rosa Magnifica, the warmth of Calypso, and I could just go on and on with the list but I will not. To sum it up, it's a quite unique take on the Rose concept. Rose Rouge is charming and frightfulat the same time.She can suffocate in her sugary embrace, sealing her mouth with a chocolate-raspberry kiss to ensure the victim doesn't leave alive.And she knows how to caress the velvet petals, seduce with berry wine and ripe strawberries, and a chocolate-raspberry kiss can be a welcome reward...

Rose Rouge is also very persistent. I cansmell her scent on my wrist until the evening, and even after a shower, there's still a sweet rose-strawberry trail that remindsme of Marie Laforet's caressing purr: If not for my inescapable perfumery curiosity, I would not have dared to touch the bottle of Rose Rouge again. She didn't deserve a second chance after that. But… It's not the most unique scent profile and smells a bit like a couple other fragrances in my collection. It has a similar profile to Roses Vanille but Rose Rouge is much smoother and easier to wear. The rose is similar to that in Lush Rose Jam, but this one is more complex and interesting. There is a more distant similarity to Lancome Roses Berberanza, the rose and spiced vanilla base are quite similar, but the Lancome fragrance has strong nutty notes that Rose Rouge does not. I like Roses Berberanza in colder weather and Rose Rouge in more moderate temperatures. Even though Rose Rouge is not unique, it is one of the nicer of the fragrances with similar scent profiles and if I could only have on I would probably chose Rose Rouge.
