Rouge

I ADORE this fragrance. It smells exactly how I was expecting. AMBER is absolutely the predominant note here. Pink pepper is also detectable at first spray giving you that spicy twist but it quickly disappear in order to let the Lotus flower and Chinese Black Tea making their entrance. In the dry down phase the strong amber note shares the scene with a hint of woody notes. I can't properly detect bergamot and orange but I'm sure they are there somewhere in the opening ;) The 20 ml bottle is just so beautiful. It's a precious jewel to display in your beauty wardrobe or perfume closet. The glass is thick, the velvet bow cute. The only thing: the "gold" chain and spryer aren't that shining as displayed in promo pictures. They are more a "grey gold" which looks kind of cheap but it's ok. This gives a more vintage vibe to the whole experience and I guess that's exactly what Dita wanted. Also: I find this perfume really masculine. It could be easily be worn by a man. Don't be afraid. FIVE STARS.

Here's what dita thought about the making of rouge: "Since teaching a woman proper burlesque can take a good long while, lets make a perfume that allows a woman to invoke her inner Josephine Baker or Gypsy Rose Lee." (Not a direct quote from DVT, just my interpretation of what she may have thought about for the creation of rouge) This perfume isn't trying to be more than it is. It's simple and sexy without trying to be pensive or overly sophisticated or stuffy. In other words, like a burlesque dancer, rouge allows the shape of its notes to speak for itself, revealing its charms slowly. Lets not try to elevate this perfume to niche ranks where it was never intended to be. Enjoy it on its own merits.

Fragrance that is light and airy. The first notes are orangy and somewhat fruity, with a lovely refreshing dash of bergamot and a mild trace of pepper. The perfume has a clear powdery sense to me, but it might also be the dry woods that come out the most in the end, amber sweetens up the entire composition, and the lone flower is a clean large magnolia. A clear very heavy flower with notes of tea, honey, powder, and dry smokiness. This perfume reminds me of warmth; it's warm, soft, and fluffy, like a clean cashmere sweater. Deep, subtle, and beautiful, with mild silage and excellent duration. Stunning!

This woman just cannot disappoint me. While the first perfume is sharp, and hard not to notice, Rouge makes me feel very comfortable. It's less smoky and more woody. I guess it's the tea note that stands out for me and makes it so seductive. Some of you might disagree, but on me it smells a lot like Dior Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle. Again Dita designed a quality perfume that has good sillage and lasting power over 12 hours. I am pleased with the bottle design and the fact that the bigger bottles are also without an atomizer. Atomizers look pretty, but their function is limited.

Wonderful! Love at first sniff :) It's is warm, velvety, comforting, feminine, and boudoir like. It has that makeup, leather 'n lipstick smell. It's like warm pleasantly intense amber, mixed with jasmine and leather. By looking at the notes, I wasn't sure it was going to be my thing. I am glad I tried it Thanks to reviewers, well described and truthfully praised fragrance. This is one of the best celebrity scents outthere. Unique and well done! And package is uber cute:) Thumbs up D von T! Keep 'em coming! Two great fragrances and I cannot wait to try the newest one!
