Rouge Trafalgar Esprit De Parfum

I love the original Rouge Trafalgar, and Kurkdjian has fixed virtually all the problems I had with the og on my skin: •poor projection •medium longevity •and the fruity opening died down way too quickly. Overall it's quite similiar to the original, albeit (like the case with the other esprit's), it diverges a bit but doesn't turn into something completely different. It opens up very sweet Like the original, but instead of just strawberry, it's supplemented with some Peppers and a somewhat muted Cherry accord. In the mid (and greater bulk of the scent), the chery and pepperyness die down into the background, and a fresh blast of sweet fruit become the main focus, I mainly get mostly strawberry on my skin (just like the OG), but I can also smell a fair bit of rasberry and something else I can't pick out. Other than that, there is a Rose note, but it's also fairly far in the back with the openings notes, but it's presence does add a slightly jammy smoothness that make the scent slightly addicting and alluring each time I get a whiff. As I said at the start, this fragrance is a lot more potent than its predecessor, I get medium-strong projection on my skin with around 8-9 hours longevity, I think this could easily be worn all year round but it might be a little too strong and/or cloying for summer if you're not going to be in a big open area. Perfectly unisex, but some guys may be turnt away by the strawberry smell, which is fine, but as a guy, this is easily rockable in any casual outtings. Is it worth the price (like the other Esprit's?) Of $800AUD in my currency?, No, absolutely not. but is it an upgrade to scent I wished was a little better? 1000%. If you had/have some gripes with the original like I did, I assure this fixes most if not all of them! Very much worth a try imo. Say what you want about Kurkdjian's creations at Dior, but price aside, so far I think he's done an excellent job with this and Ambre Nuit (Esprit) in my opinion Final Verdict 9.3/10 (not worth it's full retail price though 🙂)

EDIT: I bouht it 6 mounths ago and let is macerate so I can tell it's worth it becouse the strong masculine feeling has gone, all I get is a beautifule grown up unisex but in the feminin side fruit perfume made in the best way. Now I love it so much and definetly will repurchase again. I got it today (I bought blindly) and immediately sprayed it to my wrist. It is a very grown up and UNISEX fragrance. The opening is sparkling pink pepper with a non sweetend cherry and a huge blast of grapefruit then it goes to the fruity light rose with cassis direction but whithout any sugar (I can pick up some "Gris dior" feeling in this perfume all lifetime in the background- after 4 days I figured out that this is the vetiver) then it arrives to the red berries. In the base there is some light patchuli, moss and lots of vetiver. As I saw the notes I thougt it would by my ultra feminin fruit-basket scent but nothing girlie and youthful here. I think it is ok for a man too and for me it is a serious perfume instead of being easy-going or light or funny. I don't find it sweet at all. It is elegant and put together scent for ages above 30 with very good quality of ingredients. I don't know the original Rouge Trafalgar so I can't compare them. The sillage is big-my Husband told.The whole perfume is somewhat very classy and elegant. I like it!

I’m into it...it’s definitely richer than the original. The original had a patchouli element on the dry down that I couldn’t get into. This is so rich that any patch, if it exists, is undetectable to me. Close up it gives me a bit of a waxy lipstick vibe...and my goodness if I could amp that up and make it the main feature of a scent—I’d be in heaven. I’m in heaven here for different reasons—it smells expensive, it’s fruity but not at all juvenile—it’s a rich and dark yet also light fruit, it has a creaminess to it and it’s smooth. It also has a gourmand quality without going full on in that territory, which would cheapen it. It also lasts...I smell on clothing the next day. On skin is a shorter life. I got at a Dior in store boutique at Bloomingdale’s when they had a beauty sale. UPDATE: This is a compliment getter.

I didn’t think rouge trafalgar could get any sexier but here we are. This doesn’t have the green/stem smell or the airy vibe of the og. This is much more dense and sweeter, but still so wearable even for every day. The only issue I had about the og was that the dry down didn’t retain that red fruit smell but this definitely fixed that for me. I need a full bottle of this immediately, I’d keep my og one as well. They are different enough and I’m equally obsessed with both. Edit: I ended up selling my original rouge trafalgar once I bought a full size of this. The dry down of this smells very close to the opening of the og, essentially this is both perfumes in one. This performs so much better. The og was gorgeous and hard to let go of, but this fixed every issue I had with the original.
