Sensual Rouge is a light floral chypre composition with intriguing notes of white pepper, orange and silky cashmere. It is created for women who live their lives with passion, who are elegant and provocative.

The top notes are orange peel, white pepper and red peony. The heart unites osmanthus flower, Japanese plum blossom and water lily, tulips and Spanish carnation. The woody-musk base is composed of cashmere wood, patchouli leaves, and musk. It is captured in an elegant intensive-red bottle with delicate flowers adornment, designed by Christian Lacroix. The perfume was created by IFF (International Flavors & Fragrance) perfume creators Laurent Le Guernec and Carlos Benaim in 2007 and is a result of claboration of Avon and French couture fashion designer Christian Lacroix.

The drydown on this one reminded me of Paloma Picasso. I would classify it as a more mature fragrance. I wouldn't wear this in summer or as an everyday, job at the office perfume. This is an evening only scent! Spiced orange and pepper come out in the topnotes, and eventually the citrus fades and you're left with a deep spice scent. I admire this type of scent but it just isn't for me, so I swapped it away.

Flowery/Peppery/Woody warm and light. It lasts min of 5 hours but sits very close to the skin.

This fragrance was given to me as a sample and sat in the drawer for ages. When I did finally put it on I was a bit dubious as to whether I'd like it as the opening notes are rather challenging. But, like Noa, after an hour it settles into a much more livable scent. I received compliments about it that first day. I like the sweet woodiness of it and the peony and water lily add a touch of mistiness that I find very appealing. The musk undertones balance it well without being overpowering. It is a long lasting fragrance and clings to my clothes delicately. I feel sophisticated and sensual when I wear it. Its now my new favourite!

This is pretty, but the downsides are that everyone owns it and talk about heavy allergies! It makes me sneeze so bad and I have to go to sleep in order for my headache to go away. Coffee smelling doesn't do anything for me after smelling this.

I gave this to a close friend as a birthday present.

Got this for free from my Avon representative, I knew this cost a bit much, but my friend deserved it more.

Besides, this fragrance wasnt enough to make me want to keep it.

This is one of the "infamous four" sexiest fragrances I have referred to in a previous review. In order of sexiness they listed:-

1. Victoria's Secret Very Sexy

2. Christian Lacroix Rouge

3. Calvin Klein Secret Obsession

4. Tom Ford Black Orchid

IMO this fragrance should not have made that list because it is so inferior on every level compared to its list making cousins. Perhaps the wives and girlfriends of the panelists were Avon representatives who formed a posse and had them bailed up at gunpoint. Who knows? There is no other logical explanation, 'cause it (Rouge) ain't sexy.

Rouge is an OK wear, not one I reach for often, I reached for it today in the name of research so I could review it. I have ditched the shower gel and body lotion because they smelled synthetic, but the perfume is bearable for those days when you want to be invisible.

I just can't enjoy this fragrance. The orange peel notes dominate its opening to an extent that I find extremely annoying. If it were a fresher note, I might be able to handle it, but this is more of a sickly-sweet sticky orange peel. The white pepper makes it even worse, IMO.

After close to an hour, this does fade some and I can begin to smell a little bit of peony. After two hours, I can almost enjoy the musky/woody base, if it weren't for STILL being able to smell the orange peel.

Pleasant? Not to me. Long-lasting? Not on me. I suggest sampling this one before purchasing!

One of the few fruity, peony dominated perfumes that I sometimes almostlove. The water lily softens the blend a bit and adds dimension. An oddly bright but soothing fragrance. Fair balance--though I find it mighty sweet and have to be in a rare mood to reach for it. It remains in my wardrobe largely because the shape and color of the bottle delight me.

In the best of all possible worlds, Rouge and Cabaret would switch names and flacons.

Note that Rouge is also listed on this site under Avon where there are more reviews. It is the same fragrance: Lacroix for Avon.

I'd rate Rouge a 2.5 out of 5 stars. It's not great and not bad either. To me it smells a bit like Avon's discontinued Rare Sapphires with some citrus notes added in. It didn't smell anything like the page in the Avon book (which I thought smelled like a weak Fendi). Rouge doesn't have much sillage, it lies very close to the skin. The lasting power isn't too bad about 4 hours, but it doesn't stick to fabric at all. The bottle isn't original and in fact it looks suspiciously similar to VW's Anglomania bottle. Not my cup of tea.

it is nice. :) at the beginning the orange oil is dominating, tamed with peony, and the pepper can slightly be smelt occasionally. a bold one, but later it becomes soft and feminine.
