Eau Parfumee au The Rouge (for women and men)

lollipopsneeze

This fragrance makes me want to unwind with a cup of hot tea and a novel. I smell loads of black tea it's very peppery and spicy with walnuts and fig..

I don't understand why it wants to fade so quickly on me but it's one of the best tea scents that I've ever experienced..Just close your eyes and imagine walking down the tea section in Whole Foods or your local health food store and that's The Rouge..well at least to me ;)

Rich tea flavor screaming at me when i put this on.I love it!
This is the one to buy if you are really into strong tea note,
and i know i'll be having a second bottle.

It's okay. Nothing special. The tea note is dominant throughout. For my nose there are no fig, walnut or resin notes. It is only an average scent. One that is best used to refresh oneself after a day in the sun and a cooling shower. A scent to wind-down in and definitely NOT a fragrance anyone will remember you by. I have it, but will eventually give it away.

A cool, quite and peaceful scent. It almost saved me during the hot summer days last year with its peppery freshness and fig-walnut calmness. It’s like a summer rain or a sip of juicy ice tea.

I tested au The Rouge and au The Blanc today, because my skin doesnt work with the most Bvlgari fragrances and i really wanted to find out, if there isnt any perfume of them, which maybe works with my chemistry. Well, i come to the end that The blanc is too masculine for me - but still nice, and The Rouge already take a place in my Wishlist, because i like it very much, after wearing it the half day.

Now to the scent itself, at the beginning i get a burst of black tea and pepper with a soft hint of fig, it smells really really similar to original black tea, a kind of bitter and refreshing smell - Im a tea-drinker so i know the scent very well and i like it too. This perfume brings the same traits like a cup of tea which gives harmony and calmness. In the drydown its getting more smooth and a very pleasant, low nutty scent rises, i can feel a waft of walnut and musk, but the dominat note in this perfume will be 'tea'.

Im sure this clear and sensual perfume is perfect for every season and work good as everyday, holiday and office scent. Au The Rouge is not too light and not too heavy, it just has the right balance for feeling comfortable with. I dont think its preferably for woman, i guess it can also be worn by men, so it carries the title 'unisex' rightly. The scent lasts on my skin circa 4 hours, what is very acceptable for Eau de Cologne.

Its such a natural scent, it always reminds me on a wood glade, where the last sunbeams reaches the ground and the air is filled with mild warmth, where everything seems to be so peaceful.

I very recommend to try this one, its hardly to go wrong with it!

Eau de moi

I love this perfume. I tried it last year and finally bought it tonight! Very spicy on me, hot, a bit earthy and sensual, it has character and I love it! I can even see my husband wearing this. (Even if he is sold to Guerlain). Great lasting power.

This fragrance is a very pleasant surprise for me. B bought a big bottle and we use it together with my sister and my mother. It is warm but gentle and has a sweet fruity feel to it. At the beginning is fresh and spicy, later on becomes floral/fruity with a hint of tea. The staying power is acceptable for me having in mind the nature of this scent. I would wear it during spring/autumn and winter. For the summer i will try it carefully because our summer can be very hot.

i got this perfume from my mother, she didn't like the smell so she gave me.

well the smell is quietly the same as indonesian spicy food called rendang.
my friend who told me somehow.
but i got to admit that this one is great to wear on cold weather. it just like it could makes you warm when you take your breath and sniff it

As a person who enjoys a nice cup of black tea, I was so happy to finally find a perfume that captures its warm and comforting scent so well. SandraS sent me a wonderful sample of this in a swap, and I am so glad she did! Although I have always said that I detest pink pepper in perfumes, this one may have me rethinking that. For me, the tea aroma is delicious and inviting and develops wonderfully on my skin. My only complaint is that the lasting power is very weak...otherwise I would have rushed out and bought a bottle right away. Just enough spice and such a wonderful blending of walnut and resin..do yourself a favour and sample this one.

Just bought it today at TJX. It's a wonderful scent. I knew that I just love the smell of almost anything with 'tea' involved. This is just beautiful. Dark, smoky, and rich like good tea should be, then it warms up and the spices and musk are prominent. Best purchase I've made all year, I think.

orbicon

I am testing this scent right now. This is an amazing and oddly fun scent. The first spray brings memories of my grandmother and her addictions to Lipton tea. A little more pepper in the top notes intitially then simmers down after a while to a buttery fig while the red tea takes a back seat. On paper this smells simple; on my skin, very complex with constant developments.

tommy_girl

this is really amazing.when I smelled it,I could smell nothing rather than tea.it's just a cup of tea for two.no gander limitation!it's good for both men and women.
I think the first notes are so strong and more suitable for men,while the base notes are calmer and more feminine.
anyway,this is not a normal scent.tea lover would admire it and I think it'll warm up a cold winter day,just like a cup of tea.but you shouldn't consider it as a everyday perfume.just consider it as a unique,specific perfume for special occasions.

Elitsa

At first is very strong and heavy, i really don't smell anything of the top notes. After i feel it very spicy, hot.I can't imagine a man with this scene, for me is very feminine. I bought it for one of my girlfriends, she likes heavy perfumes, but for me it's too hard.

Amanda79

Smells exactly like a tea bag at first! A hot, spicy dark tea. I love that. The best tea scent ive smelled so far. When the walnut mixes with the tea and fig it becomes almost like a hazelnut on my skin. It wears close to the skin and odd that vanilla isnt listed because when it dries down I get a musky vanilla. This perfume reminds me a little of Noa Perle and Bath and Body works Brown Sugar and Fig. This is very feminine on me.

Update: I had no idea when I wrote this review that Olivier Polge the creator of The Rouge is also the creator of Noa Perle!

Update: This smell is addicting for me! I don't know why, its just awesome.. can't get enough of it! The lasting power is terrible but I don't mind spraying it on constantly! :)

Maddyrain

A really confortable combination of figs, tea and walnut. Perfect for those rainy days at home, when you want to smell good. I love it.

My favourite out of the tea series. Not as safe and bland as the other two, and the only realistic tea scent I've ever encountered. And I've tried a few.
I don't get fig so much as general fruitiness-vanilla-musk, and while the progression of the scent is pleasing, it's the opening that's true magic for me. Quite sweet, I doubt many men would voluntarily wear it. (I believe it could work wonderfully, really, note the word voluntarily!)

Interesting to see the many different impression this one inspires in different reviewers; I think that pleads for its adaptability and complexity.
In short, very likable yet surprisingly interesting scent that's thankfully not common as dirt.

I like this one much more than any other in the Bvlgari "tea" line. I completely agree with Kurisu about it being such a unique combination of red tea with sweet figs.

Oddly enough, I bought this for summer in an attempt to update my summer perfume wardrobe. But I wore it last night in the cold winter air and was astounded at how good it smelled on me. It was warm, comforting, slightly sweet, and very calming.

This makes a perfect everyday or office scent, especially in the winter. Lasted longer than I expected it to as well - a good five or six hours.

kurisu

Authentic and unique tea scent IMO. because the most of tea scent in the market is a green tea and it come with an absolute citrus notes.But this one is different.It's is a cup of rich tea with sweet fig,which make me feel that it's quite feminine.The character in my imagine is polite,kind and humble person.
Very comforting but not intrigue.So,the choice is depending on your purpose.I would love to wear this one for office and casual day.

Migotka

Nice, comforting, non-offensive scent. It does however smell like a warm tea bag just taken out from a cup, seasoned with some pink pepper, while woody and musk noted seem to be quite forgotten.
Much as I love drinking rooibos, I don't think smelling like it is as enjoyable. It might be a good fragrance to use at work, but I find it might get boring after a while. It does not leave much to discover after the first spray.

tessture

One of my favorite scents, and that was unexpected. I tend to dislike tea fragrances because they never smell like tea. This one actually smells like raw silk on me and I love that scent. Possibly raw silk and roobois. It's light, clean and the EdC wears like an EdT. Very lovely, very sheer.

SandraS

At the moment I am so captivated by this scent.
The first spray brings something lovlely fresh and a bit green. Looking at the notes i would say the bergamot with tea leaves an a bit of peper. After an hour or so it has dried down to something entirely new. I can still feel the tea leaves with the walnut and resin and just a hint of fig, making it so much warm and seductive. As others have said it has a masculine edge that accentuates its caracther. I love it. King of scent you can wear eveyday. More casual than formal events I would say. Smells "clean"to me!

Vickalena

For me this perfume is this type of home comforting-enveloping scent, "only for yourself", which gives a clean-warm-cosy feeling. I love good black tea, so for me au The Rouge is a kind of "energizer", just like a cup of hot strong aromatic black tea.
Yes, perfume doesn't "play", once it has settled down. But I find it very peaceful - good to wear at home in a rainy day, reading a book and having a cup of tea.

solocha

Slightly fresh in the top notes, later tea type of sweetness with some figs. I would like it very much but I am not sure whether regular frequent use would do good to my stomach - I do not normall y like fig in fragrances. It is interesting and nostalgic quality this scent has, which I could compare toa woman clad in a frilly Victorian/Art Nouveau dress with many feminine retro accessories, taking her time to walk and do small odds and ends in her daily domestic life.

BlackAmberMoon

I love this - The Rouge is clean, subtle sensuality. Opens very bright and tangy, but quickly mellows to a warm fig, walnut, tea, and musk combination that is so unusual and interesting. Easy to wear in any season. Definitely unisex. Great lasting power for a cologne, but I would love an extreme version. Very unique, and my favorite of Bvlgari's tea line.

mihailo_vukoicic

10/10 for originality and authenticity
9/10 for staying power
5/10 for complexity (not so many layers going on here)
2/10 for wearability. let me explain: it is wearable, pleasant, it's good for all occasions, BUT it's gets extremely boring after the first ounce is gone. I gave it away the other day. my friend loooves it. I bet she too will get bored and pass it along and so on and so forth. a mini would have done it for me.

Oxygene

I tested this fragrance, both on paper and on my skin. It was love at first smell!
Thé Rouge is a beautiful and well composed creation. It's both refreshing and comforting at the same time,
This really is an interesting scent and has unbelieveable lasting power. Only two drops from the sample lasted on my skin up to 10 hours so a more general application in the morning should keep you going all day.
Suitable for summer nights or winter... it's perfect for fall or spring!
I think I can going to keep it in my "must-have" list of fragrance.

Update: I have it, and I'm so happy! :)

Vickalena

On my skin it is pure high-quality black tea in the beginning, with some sweetness of a fig later. I also like to spray it on hair. Love it.

xexe

Love the combination in this parfum. I need sample. :)

Maddyrain

This one is incredible! For me, it's a lovely combination of fig and walnut notes. A great gourmand fragrance!

riverwitch

This is a sneaky little complex scent. It begins and ends in such different places: fruity almost green apple to begin, then mellows to a nutty, musty wet, rotten leaf afterglow. It is a juice that ages into something completely different than its first stage seems to promise--but I like its phases even if it does almost seem like it might not be quite sure what to make of itself.

baiba_pukite

This one is very interesting, a bit masculine in the beginning, but later it turns out to be very soft and gentle... Not for everybody! My mom hates it, by boyfriend can barely stand it, I sometimes love it, sometimes hate very much... But - the fragrance is definately unique and long-lasting!

PerfumeEmpress

A great scent, indeed. The red tea is very prominent, and it makes it quite unique. It's a lovely spicy summer fragrance. I just wish it had more staying power.

Moszatka

Very Spicy and very sensuallity summer fragrance. I Like it! Fig leaf and walnut is very successful pairs in it!

mariotgomez

Bvlgari makes some amazing fragrances. I also enjoy wearing this one when in the mood for something slightly floweral & spicy. It is intense at first but it mellow out on me with notes of red rooibos tea, bergamot, walnut & fig. It's odd, but this brings back memories of me as a kid: the scent of washing your hands after having played with Playdoh.

Aeternitas

This is amazing and one of my favorite perfumes. I could wear this everyday. It's gentle, but not subtle, with a somewhat masculine edge, considering it is a unisex perfume. When I wear it, I smell a lot of the fig note and the walnut note on dry down. The initial spray is a burst of pink pepper, which is somewhat spicy in the beginning. It's a beautiful blend and I feel at peace when I wear it. Calming. The lasting power is great, too!
