Rouge & Noir

I received my "Rouge & Noir" and was very surprised by the packaging- so creative, made with care and attention. I felt I'm special when I opened that beautiful box and found a small, high quality book about all the perfumes of Eisenberg with all those unusual paintings. A very nice of the brand. Then I discovered the bottle -a solid, square, thick glass perfume bottle. Simple, but very classy. However the perfume was the opposite of what I had expected (the name, the image, the box, the painting on the box etc.). It's quite light, transparent, sparkling. And the main note for me here is a fresh, dewy tuberose. The opening makes me think about the champagne - the nose tickling, sweet, deliciously juicy, fruity alcohol aroma, uplifting, mind liberating. And then I enter the world of the magic mirrors - I smell many notes which are not listed. I get an exquisite plum scent (could be the peach and the black currant). I get some light, expensive smelling leather too ( maybe the tuberose and the benzoin). The base is a well rounded, warm tuberose, wood and dark vanilla mixture which transforms later into a delicious, creamy vanilla sauce with a hint of alcohol (yes, that naughty note still lingers in the air). Overall it's feminine, classy, white flower perfume.

On my skin it is intensive and long lasting. Rather heavy and easy to overapply. It can warm and comfort you in cold weather. Deep and friuty in very interesting way - for sensual, strong and self-possessed woman. There is also a note, that reminds me oil-paint, I think it makes this perfume closer to art :) Like it! And I agree with Vertigo - J'ose seems more interesting.

Fell in love with this perfume... but then I bought it and man, was it a let down. The beginning is wonderful. It's rich with all the fruit notes present and distinguishable (especially the peach), and overall smells just like fancy champagne. The drydown, however, is straightforwardly just jasmine and vanilla. Which is not what made the perfume so alluring to me in the first place. I still use it for the first few minutes of the perfect smell, though. The rest is okay, but boring.

At first it smelled like nail polish remover. Now, after a few hours have passed, it smells mostly like peach and tuberose. I think it's very sweet in an annoying way. So even if it's changed dramatically, I still don't like it. Eisenberg has better one's than this one.

I can't believe that all Eisenberg perfumes are designed for women made of paper but here's the 2nd one after its J’ose that I found irresistably interesting on the blotter and still do but my chemistry seems to make "Skimmed milk" of its formula. And I have a witness who confirmed the difference in both cases, haha. Just in terms of comparison. J'ose - on the blotter - tobacco charm of an insolent woman challenging men with her masculine way of thinking, seducing, whatever. Deep, spicey, bold. On me - suppressed attempt to be liked as a 'femina', boring, routine-oriented scent with a cheap masculine touch. Rouge & Noir on the blotter is an intoxitating mixture of my favourite orange blossom, benzoin; ylang-ylang and tuberose here are passionate in a pleasant way. Evening scent of a confident sensual woman. Sounds feminine, provocative, sexy yet with guts. On me - two words: Floral Fruity. To do it justice, it's still pleasant and better than many others - floral-fruity, a bit feminine but with low-key passion, without depth or special statement, meaning on my skin it loses all fireworks. Test them on youself. With Eisenberg it must be all about chemistry.
