Project #1: Rose Rouge

Published on 2 November 2024 at 16:27

The first project on this newly launched website is dedicated to a collection of fragrances that has a special place in my heart (and nose). I'm talking about Van Cleef & Arpels' Collection Extraordinaire, which is pretty underrated in my opinion, but I can say that it is filled with many great perfumes, always impeccable, classy and never too loud or heavy. For me, they perfectly represent the idea of olfactory refinement.

Even if I'm not a big fan of rose in perfumes, I'm sharing the first selection of images I took this morning of the beautiful Rouse Rouge.

I took them early in the morning, with a decent  autumnal light, in a small corner of my house.

If I'm not wrong I took three or four different settings of this beautiful scent, and I hope to share them here soon.

About the perfume:

Rose Rouge by Van Cleef & Arpels is a sophisticated and enchanting fragrance that redefines the classic rose scent with a modern twist. It's part of the brand's Collection Extraordinaire and it combines elegance and depth, creating a truly unique olfactory composition.

Launched in 2018 and created by master perfumer Julien Rasquinet, Rose Rouge opens with fresh and fruity top notes of blackcurrant, bergamot and pink pepper, giving it a bright and slightly spicy beginning. At the heart of the fragrance you'll find a rich, velvety rose accord, blended seamlessly with an almost syrupy raspberry note for a juicy softness. This floral core feels lush and opulent, capturing the essence of a blooming rose garden in the sunset, where the air is filled with perfumes and the flowers radiate their strongest and more intoxicating perfumes.

As it settles, the base notes of cacao, patchouli and vetiver add warmth and complexity, leaving a lingering trail that is earthy and slightly gourmand. The combination of these elements gives Rose Rouge a beautiful balance between sweetness and depth, making it both sensual and comforting.

This fragrance is perfect for those who appreciate a rose scent with a bit of mystery and character. It’s versatile enough for both day and evening wear, and it lasts impressively on my skin. I'm pretty confident saying that Rose Rouge is surely a captivating choice for anyone who loves floral fragrances with a modern, luxurious edge.

I hope you'll enjoy the images I took of this beautiful bottle.
