Rouge Orchard

I do not write reviews, but I was so shocked by this fragrance I just had to. Right out of the bottle it smells absolutely amazing and probably 95% to the original. I smelled the original at the airport and ordered Rouge Orchard right as my plane was about to take off. The opening is so fresh and fruity, like a mix of bright berries and candy. It smells almost sparkly and hairspray like, but not in a bad way. It is very delicious smelling and lasts forever on skin. Also I HATE rose, but do not get rose from this really, only a sense of maturity and richness. In the dry down I get a bit of vanilla that almost smells caramel like and creamy. The person that wears this fragrance smells like they have a lot of money. I give this a 9/10 and recommend to anyone. I also go for more masculine scents but love to rock this one out in public.

dior rouge trafalgar esprit is AUD$880 where I live. i bought this for $60. Honestly, I cannot tell the difference to my nose and I usually always pick fault with dupes. On skin and paper these are identical without the price tag. Last the same, if anything rouge orchard is longer. Atralia don’t miss and they’ve cooked with this one. Amazing. No one would pick that you aren’t wearing dior. Absolute sorcery!! Run, don’t walk and save your dollars for more fragrances. So well blended and just straight up gorgeous feminine sweet scent

I've never smelt Rouge Trafalgar line, but out of the 3 Arabian dupes: Ria by Khadlaj, Hawwaa red by Zimaya, and this Rouge Orchard, these 3 smell identical. However, Rouge Orchard has more strength, and is brighter. It also has the best projection, out of the 3. It's a beautify blend of the fruits listed - I don't detect one note more than the other.

Edit: I’ve let this sit for about 7 weeks, and it made all the difference. Leagues better after macerating. It still smells like apples and roses to me in the beginning. I will say the opening of this perfume is absolutely beautiful. If I could wear that scent all day, every day, I would die happy. It’s that good. The heart is much, much better after sitting. I think the patchouli and pink pepper were the notes that needed time. Those are the only notes that I can assume made it smell so awful to me when I first got it. But now? I might end up loving this one. Which is crazy to think since I hated it when I first got it. But I’ve finally learned to let my ME fragrances macerate. Even the ones I like out of the box end up developing into something better after they macerate for at least a month. Some of these take 2 months for my nose. I can finally understand why Scent Takes recommended this one. Finally! First review: Even though Apple isn’t listed in the notes (but the word orchard makes me think of apples) it smells like wonderful, sweet red apples for the first 15 minutes. And then it turns. In a bad way. My favorite scent in the world is rose, but sometimes rose is done wrong. This one is just wrong unless you like the sharpness of old lady rose perfume musk. If so, you will looooove this. If I could keep the opening notes I would be in love with this perfume. But alas, the dry down is brutal for me. I had such high hopes for this, so I’m going to put it away for awhile and pray it magically matures.

The opening is the only part that leans feminine imo, otherwise I could see this either way. Opening smells like a batch of red fruits / strawberries dipped in an ice bath. Then in the middle you still have some of that fruitiness, but its more of a clean rose. After in the drydown you get a masculine smelling patchouli/ earthy vanilla scent. Overall scent is solid and its not cloying like I thought it would be. Sometimes you get this magical whiff of cherry and fruitiness that smells amazing. Scent 8.5/10 very unique Longevity 7/10 5-7 hours Sillage I cant tell tbh I cant tell you whether its a good dupe for espirit, but if you like roses and very fruity/sweet fragrances you'd enjoy this. Great for all weather.

Opening: Sweet and fruity. Raspberry, mild rose and touch of patchouli. Dry Down: During the dry down, this stays pretty much the same. The main fruity note I'm getting is a sweet candied raspberry mixed with a light non-medicinal cherry. It's like those premium dried mixed berries with added sugar you get from the grocery store. Following that is a modern rose. The patchouli is very light and I hardly notice it. The faint peppery note I got in the initial spray has gone away as well and I don't get much vanilla. Overall this is a fruity-floral. A sweetened natural berry aroma accented with a modern rose. It smells more natural than other fruity aromas I've smelled. It's simple and straight to the point.

On my skin, I get a blend of raspberry, cherry, and jasmine — but the magic is in how they blend. Together, they create this beautifully vintage aura that instantly reminds me of a luxurious 70s lipstick. It’s creamy, fruity, and floral all at once, with that unmistakable “expensive cosmetic” vibe that feels both retro and chic. It’s unique and surprisingly wearable. I like it.

Those looking for a dupe of Rouge Trafalger this isn’t it . It’s a little bit alike in the opening that’s it and the longevity and silage is weak on clothes and skin. Save your money

To say this a dupe of Dior rouge better have ur nose check wasted my $70

Yay! This was a blind buy as it looked so beautifully crisp and juicy! And then it was! Raspberry, cherry and rose are power trio, immediately puts smile on your face and if you close your eyes for a bit, you are in this amazing orchard, maybe tempted to go raspberry picking or green a picnic in rose garden.. Bought this for crazy price on Amazon thinking this will be disappointing purchase, and pleased to know it was the best blind buy I’ve done in a long run. Minus points are however towards strength- it doesn’t last long to be honest, it has better potency on clothes though. Re spray is needed. It is so juicy and happy thing, that I don’t mind few top ups. Flirty and good mood enhancer! Recommend.

All I smell is apple.... I wish I got more cherry, raspberry, pink pepper, rose... hint of vanilla? After reading comments below, I'm going to let her sit for a couple weeks and try again before I give up. It doesn't smell bad, but apple is not my thing.

I don’t have a real opinion yet, but this is really reminding me of French Defense but without the tobacco 😂

Dupe of Rouge Trafalgar Esprit with the cherry note. Sexy and alluring

Is it me or does it smell like gris dior with berries?
