Xeryus Rouge (for men)

scenturian

Quite different and interesting scent. Sexy, alluring and hot.
Sweet, spicy, fruity, peppery(pimento) and very cactussy.
Good job from givenchy.
One of my fav also.
Very strong and long lasting, dont spray more than 2 :) everybody will already notice u.

A blind buy, but made me fond of it instantly after first spray. Marvel, sensual and exotic… found great for summer wear… for me it’s a romantic wear…

Wierd in a good way. Complex, hot and sexy. The cactus gives it this outrageously exotic feel. Somehow it ties everything together. I like cayenne in fragrance and this one's heart note is built around it. It gently warms your skin, when first applied. And what exactly is African Geranium? I have never heard of it before this. It has a heavy almost tobacco feel to it! The base is notes are classic, and seem to carry the others along perfectly! I love orientals, yet this takes it one step further. Sort of "post oriental", if you would. One of Givenchy's best.

This is is actually better than I thought. I had the bottle since Winter and thought it was a winter scent.
I think it;s much better suited for a spring or summer nightime scent. That pepper really makes it all worth while. Sweet, robust, spicy, and fruity. If you can get past what people call as cactusy, i'd say it's definately one of my top 10. Spray this one over your head and let it fall. It' doesn't last as long if you rub it in, but I haven't used moistureizer with it yet. Pretty strong stuff, I'll probably wear this one when I get married.

This is a great classic: fougere oriental which I perceive as fruity during summer evenings. It is cosy, long lasting and a true "red" cologne which exudes passion. I find this one as a precursor to Very Irresistible. If you analyze the smell, maybe you'll get what I am trying to say.

I love this fragrance.
It's so exotic... cactus, geranium and pepper... perfect combination.

I was lucky enough to win a bottle of this. Thanks, Fragrantica and our contest sponsors! I had never smelled this one before, or so I thought, until it arrived and I sniffed the bottle. I realized then that I've smelled it many times before on friends and co-workers. It is a popular scent, with good reason, of course--it's so very well-done!

I love the hot, intense rush of spices when this one is first applied to my husband's skin. It dries down a little softer and greener over time. Alas, the EdT fades quickly--he gets about 4 hours maximum out of this one and usually has to freshen up again in the afternoon.

I think Xeryus Rouge is all male and won't be one that I will be borrowing. (I don't think I can quite pull that off, but ladies, go for it if it works for you!)

Must say, too, how much I love the bottle on this one. The color, the solid shape and the elegant simplicity of the design are a perfect vessel for this fragrance.

Now I know, where Davidoff "Silver shadow private" and Lauder "Beyong paradise" come from - that is GIVENCHY "Xeryus". It is near perfect, very seducive (I think so), and a bit more complex than all newer imitators.
"Rouge" version is of pepper, and this "pepper" is complex and "expensive". It is "oriental", but while all native-oriental perfumes I know are ROUNDED, this one is slightly sharp.
Sadly, but I have to add that the drydown is a bit "powdery".

BlackAmberMoon

Strong, sweet, and sexy - just how I like my men! This is one of my favorite scents for guys. Definitely a nighttime/clubbing/seduction fragrance...find something else for the office!

darren

it's super sexy!
I liked it from the first time I saw it in 1997 in stores.
the red color gave it enough passion and joy.it's just like the male version of hugo red!to me it's all about green plants and pepper.at the first smells somehow sweet too.excellent strength to seduce a woman.

Nuppu

For me this is the sexiest men fragrance ever (haven't find hotter yet). Warm, no, hot, spicy but still tender, not too strong. Definetly red is appropriate colour for this uber-hot nectar. I don't want my husband to wear this outside our home, that tells you how effective Xerus Rouge is ;)...

ThePerceiver

Sensual, fresh, and spicy, this cologne is on my top five of all time.

As evidenced by the simplicity in the top, middle, and bottom notes, it is not complex, but more importantly, it does not need to be!

Tends to be strong, but that can be viewed as a positive (less needed; more potent).

I know it's a men perfume, but for my taste it's kinda unisex...probably it will be the next perfume I'll buy...it's a sexy perfume
