Rouge (for women)

Designer: Christian Lacroix Olfactive Group: Chypre Floral
Video

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.

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.
