Rouge Royal

I just received a bottle of this beauty in the mail from a blind purchase. I usually wait and use a perfume a few times before a review. I couldn't wait! After a year of watching this perfume, I just couldn't bring myself to get Rouge Royal. I would pass RR over and get the others on my long list of fragrance wants. I read the reviews and a part of me wanted RR and a part of me didn't want another blind buy gone south. Well, I should have listen to the other part of me. Ever since I first read about this perfume I have had many many blinds go south. I wished I would have bought this when I first laid eyes on this precious gem! She is Royal alright! RR is beautiful, sweet, fruity with a hint of warmness. I do get the strawberry and I do get the black current if I close my eyes and smell deeply. If just taking little whiffs RR is as someone else stated in an earlier review, like diving face first into a heavenly bowl of fruity pebbles. It is sweet, but not cloy, not sickly at all. Fruity but not tart or sour. It has a soft candy sweetness with a soft gentle warmness to it. No hard spice, just sweet, soft, gentle and warm. RR is gentle and relaxing enough for a pillow spray at night and fun to wear out for the day. Rouge Royal does have a great sillage, but there is nothing harsh about it. To me, the drydown is the same as when first sprayed. Doesn't really change through the notes. I'm glad because I love the first spray of it. Yes, Rouge Royal is a beauty and I wished that I would have bought it a long time ago, but it's ok, I'm happy in the moment with it being my new love right now. I definitely don't regret my purchase Update: It has now been a month since I've had this perfume and I love it just as much as the day I received it and made this review.

This fragrance is a very rich full bodied scent that is so well blended that I can not pick out individual notes in it, but the impression it leaves behind when wearing it is one of divine nostalgic decadance! It brings to mind childhood days of family holidays filled with winter sights & scents. The windows decorated with bright colorful lights, while the pine tree is sparkling with tinsel and twinkling lights. The kitchen scents permeate the home with baking goodies while the hollyberry and bayberry candles drip melting wax into little scented puddles that delightfully set the entire mood for the season. Those are scents that stay with you forever, and that is what I get when wearing this perfume. Mmmmmmm....I love it!

Confess that first of all I fell in love with the bottle, and in my fantasy there was a thick red liquid inside...I did not crack it to check. What I found after spraying it was a delicious hot sweet strawberry syrup spicied with crushed lemon peel. But it's not just as sweet hot candy. The moss gives it a kind of sophistication. It does not last too long. I like to wear in winter, I feel it warms us. P.S: I usually get more men compliments than women's when wearing this one...and it's not expensive. (Good, isn't it?)

Lovely and potent summer nights scent, which starts out fruity but (on some chemistries) quickly turns to the more resinous side, almost chypre-ish (oakmoss?), even a little woody. Because of this turn to the resinous, it may be one of the only "fruity" perfumes that can be worn all year. Unlike many scents in its olfactory family, Rouge Royal lasts very nicely, has great sillage, and is more "seductive and elegant" than "fruity and flirty". Definitely a siren's version of the floral/fruity perfume genre!

I have owned this fragrance for a few years. My daughters talked me into purchasing it because they say it smells like strawberries which I do not smell. Rouge Royal is a slightly sweet spicy fragrance that I have fallen in love with. The only issue I have is the design of the bottle. When I got to the bottom I was unable to use it. If they were to put the straw in a corner so we can spray at an angle then that would be great.

This is a great one!!! I am really happy with it. It is really special for evening and nights out, and it leaves a great impression. If you want a sophisticated fragrance without the powdery effect of the majority of the elegant fragrances, this is the one. The only observation I got is that you have to use it wisely (a little) in pulse points.

My favorite! wherever you go u followed by trail of sweet, soft a little bit lemony smell. i always get compliments when i wear it, and it makes me feel confident and sexy. btw, it is very long lasting, perfect for day & night, summer & winter. I just love it!

Really sweet fragrance, I loved how it stayed in my skin, I usually use it in the summer. It's not noticeable when people are passing by you, but everytime you receive a hug or someone gets close you can be sure you're going to be complimented =>

I got this one due to the raving reviews about the quality and the price. Best $12 I've spent. For strawberry lovers definitely. beautiful "rouge" bottle. I like to mix it up with a blast of Prada Iris. It's like a natural strawberry love potion.

God this is face deep in a bowl 🥣 of fruity pebbles good and sweet! Such a fun and beautiful perfume! I loved to wear it so much as a preteen/teen! I Ioved it so much I want to repurchase it! I'm 29 now and I know that I would still enjoy it! 💕

This fragrance is the favorite of a large number of women here in Brazil. It's sweet, juicy and fresh. Rouge Royal is a juice of strawberry, a juice with ice cubes.

just got this perfume today..a very girlie perfume, sweet, really sweet..but i love it..and my friend begging me to sell my perfume to her :)

I loooove this one! it smells so different, the wild strawberry note is sooo good. Sweet and fresh! Just wanted it to last longer.

Mmmm....Strawberries...lots and lots of red and juicy strawberries. ROUGE ROYAL starts off with strawberries mixed with a lemon, like a refreshing strawberry lemon sorbet. Then it becomes a bit sweeter like a strawberry jam. At one point it smells just like a delicious strawberry bubble gum. I was addicted to the strawberry bubble gum as a child and bought tons of it just for the scent and this perfume brings back those happy memories of my childhood. The scent transforms into a lighter, watered down strawberry juice with lily of the valley and jasmine in the heart notes. I do not detect much oakmoss in the base notes on my skin. The base notes basically smell on me like a diluted strawberry juice, very light and pleasant. I have to admit that the strawberry note is sweet here and borders on a delicious bubble gum at times. But to me it just smells yummy. I would not say that it is a sophisticated scent but it is certainly adorable and carefree for summer days when I am in the mood to smell like strawberries.

I never heard of this until I got a sample in a swap. If you like strawberry scents, it's definitely worth a try! Opens up very sweet, somewhere between wild strawberries and strawberry bubble gum. A hint of lime is there, too, which smells clean and sharp, more like citrus notes used in men's colognes. But the strawberry is louder. In the drydown the fruits melt into creamy, sweet musk, even though there is no musk listed. It's close to the skin at this point. The base note of oakmoss is very light, but there really is something bitter, earthy, musty-but-not-bad in this. A nice contrast to the sweeter notes. This is more interesting than it seems at first sight, fun and cute but with an edge. It won't convert anyone who hates berry fragrances, but I like it.

I like this very much - just wish it lasted longer. I expect an EDP to be stronger & last longer; this one doesn't. I'm glad the price was low. However, I might be somewhat glad that it isn't stronger because normally, oak moss & ylang ylang are horrible on me. Thankfully, that's not the case in this fragrance. It's nice and feminine and good for all ages, but the red bottle and the word "royal" don't really fit the scent. Headache inducing factor: 3/10 (unlikely) Office appropriate: 9/10

Really liked the opening on this one. The intial blast of wild stawberries and lemon is very appealing but the drydown just didn't do it for me. Not a fan of moss in perfumes and this is no exception. If the basenotes were a musk or maybe a wood of some kind then this perfume would have been so much better. Oh well.

I start using this scent as soon as the days get sunny. The strawberry opening is delightful and giggly but the lemon and moss prevent it from being cloying. Not the single most sophisticated perfume in the world but a delightful daytime fragrance and the price is delightful also.

I really enjoy this perfume. Juicy strawberry with the twang of lime and currant and a soft smokiness in the back ground. It's sweet but not sickeningly so. I wouldn't go as far as to call it fresh, but it works all year round.

Very fruity and sweet. I love fruity and sweet scents, but for some reason, this never grew on me. I don't hate it, but it's certainly not a fragrance I wanna own.
