Rouge Divin

I've found all the stendhal fragrances unique and of high quality,rouge divin is no exception Vanilla is not very sweet here,it's spicy vanilla with a fruity twist,not a fresh,sparkling fruit as in girly floralfruitys,it's a spicy,dark,dusty,almost unisex plumchouli which is brightened and rounded by other notes The only floral note that stands out here is heliotrope,which to my nose plays as powdery almond.Rouge divin is a lovely oriental vanilla for me,spicy,nutty,powdery, sophisticated and sexy the same time.it's warm but also fresh,very nice for fall,also wearable all around the year when it's not very cold or very hot.drydown is a dry scent.powdery almondy vanilla,cinnamon and woods Staying power is as great as other stendhal,projection is also very good,the only thing I don't like about it is the bottle(though stendhal elixirs have very chic bottles) I'm truely into Stendhal perfumes but Noir Divin is the first one on my wishlist,then comes Rouge Divin

The name rouge always attracts me, specially when it's about the house stendhal.The new fragrance of stendhal starts with a mysterious spicy aroma which is slightly masculine, but also sweet. I smell something like red pepper, but it's not annoyingly spicy,rather it's balsamic and sweet with tiny amount of patchouli. The scent is oriental, but honestly I didn't find it fruity, or at least the mainstream fruity kind. For example it contains apple, but it's nothing like nina or DKNY or some apple pie. Apple is there to smooth other strong notes. In the perfume shop, this is a very distinct perfume, easily distinguishable from loads of others. I like the way it smells kind of androgynous which might be the characteristic of all of perfumes of the house. The sillage is nothing more than average, but long lasing.
