L'Or Rouge

I have a sample of the fragrance. I'm not in love in it but I think it's interesting and here's why. The beginning is lacquer. Red lacquer. I can't help it, I had a woman in red lacquered clothes in my imagination at once. A woman is flamboyant and vulgar... and here comes sado-maso image :O Gosh :O The scent is also cold. When it settles dowm, it seems a bit similar to My Torrente. I don't like the smell but I admit it's impressive. Fruity floral that doesn't match my personality. An interesting bottle. I can't sniff coffee in it.

way too sweet for my taste,which makes it boring. i love other Torrente creations, this one is is truly disappointing

nothing special about it! i got it as a present, but i didn't like it at all. maybe because of the osmanthus.

First: I have ALWAYS problems with the 'flower-category', or at least the perfumes which belong to it ;). Now to L'or Rouge: It's flowery alright-> the fruits, of which blackcurrant is blissfully subtly prominent on me,underly the bouquet of rose and maybe orchid with a touuch of vanilla, make it appear shy of a mature fruity-floral.Which I surprsingly find quie enchanting. Like it! Whereas I found J'adore unbearable flowery, this is like silky touch of flowers. So far the good. Now - it is not very long lasting on me, and the sillage isn't significant either. Another con: the woods are not really recognizeable, which would have been a treat for giving a bit of depth to the scent. But the thing that doesn't fit the bill at all: THE BOTTLE is absolutely misleading... I thought of a scent like 'dirty-passion-inducing-flowers'-but, nope. It's a nice afternoon with the girls-scent since I find even a bit of freshness in it (maybe the magnolia leaves?). 3/5 edit: 09/09/10 I have to admit this scent grows on me - I still don't feel sick wearing this, it is never too intense and stays incredibly long on clothes and i even think it has class. It has this understatement-thing going: I don't have to cry loud to get attention :) And loath I am to admit: this perfume got me already more compliments than all my beloved orientals together. The only other one that fished me ones was Woman by Hugo Boss. Both scents of which only thought "nice afternoon"...

A fresh, fruity-floral, light fragrance, nothing very special. There is something in it that makes it very unpleasant for me, unwearable:( It was a dissapointment after L'Or de Torrente and what I expected.
