About this deal

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. So, this is a good scent, but in the sea of gourmandish roses today I would obviously rather chose something without any scratchy notes.

Rose Rouge seemed delicious to me: a dessert of raspberry jam, ripe strawberries, and dark chocolate, wrapped in rose petals soaked in wine. Gradually, the petals fill with life, turn into a rose, and absorb and dissolve the strawberries, raspberry jam, and wine. Only bitter chocolate powder settles on the velvet of the petals. 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. The first time I tried Rose Rouge was during the cold season. I don't remember if it was late autumn, winter, or early spring. It was cold; not frosty, but dark and dank. 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…

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. It's a nice, evening type of perfume. If you like daring and potent perfumes, it might be for you. It's too much for me, unfortunately. I prefer light and subtle scents. 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 . I love and enjoy wearing Van Cleef & Arpels classics: Gem, Van Cleef, First, and Birmane. Especially the bitter autumn scent Gem… 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).

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. 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. Usually, I go on a date with afragrance I like several times, but for some reason, that didn't happen with Rose Rouge, and I met her again after many months.The bright sun was shining; I was wearing a light dress; I opened the white box of Van Cleef And Arpels's Collection Extraordinaire Miniature Set, took out Rose Rouge, sprayed, expecting that strawberry-chocolate-pink joy, and…

At first it's berry-tart and roses. Very girly and pink. Some time later the earthy patch, chocolate and vanilla come out and the scent deepens and softens a little. It's a tart fruity, musky rose with mild depth that doesn't feel dense or too sweet. This reminds me a little bit of Lancôme Rôses Berberanza, but it's not exactly the same, Rose Rouge is much softer and less opulent, like a light and fluffy, more versatile version of this scent profile. In this case the rich and loud version works better for me though. That said, Rose Rouge is very lovely in its own right. It isn't totally unique but I appreciate the quality and the ease of use with it. It gives me "grown-up-girly" vibes, much like Absolutely Blooming does, which could explain why I'm drawn to it in certain times. I will say, the more I wear it the more I like it. Longevity and projection are both pretty good. About average for the house. 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! 😍

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. For me, this is a sexy feminine, nighttime fragrance. Suitable for a date night or a night out when the evening is a bit cooler. I find Rose Rouge never feels heavy or cloying and have worn it on a mild summer night and it was never suffocating. Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire Rose Rouge талановиті майстри парфумерного ремесла уклали атмосферу прогулянки в розкішному саду біля королівського замку. Кругом пишні кущі різнокольорових троянд наповнюють повітря своїми пахощами, які ваблять працьовитих бджіл, які створюють розмірене, заспокійливе гудіння. Біля щільного переплетення стебел іноді можна зустріти кований столик і лавку, на яких приємно насолодитися чашечкою кави. I always love a good gourmand rose, and this just might be the ultimate one for me. It's just as soft and luscious as Rose Velours, with the same wonderful, realistic, deep red rose at its heart, but this one is less green and instead fruitier and sweeter and more overtly gourmand. It smells just absolutely delicious, and super well balanced: the lovely jammy rose/berry combination is perfectly complemented by the more powdery sweetness of cacao and vanilla, and the woody base keeps the gourmand aspect from going overboard without being too obtrusive in itself. That's the most admirable thing about this fragrance: despite it being one of the most delicious scents I've ever smelled, it's restrained enough that I could wear it almost anywhere including professional settings, and in almost any type of weather, without it becoming overwhelming. I love Lancôme's rose gourmands, for instance, and this one is indeed a little reminiscent of those, but they could easily feel much too conspicuous for some context, and on a warm day they could easily become too much. That's much less the case for this softer, subtler, friendlier rose: the only time I wouldn't consider it is during the hottest days of summer.

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...
