Trussardi Ruby Red

Another great scent by the Italian brand. It is very tradicional parfumery where a scent is to be a novelty out of the parts. It is yet another beauty from this line. Already the Jasmin one was very good and I think I loved the first one too. What I can detect is the vanilla-orchid as the center of the scent. Joining are the red fruits. There is the zing courtesy of ginger but it's soft and in the background and warmth courtesy of ylang-ylang. It is very feminine, soft and bright thanks to the red fruits. Sophisticated I think it's a year-rounder. Works for me during summer, but the warmth makes it versatile. Just a pretty scent - the parts are playing together to create a new quality that makes me feel good. As it shoud be. I feel like a doll wearing it. It lasts very well, always subtle but detectable and shines its many facets.

Just got a sample of this, and I really enjoy it. Ruby Red reminds me of Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, which I find beautiful but way too strong for my nose, to the point it triggers my migraines. I wouldn’t call RR an accurate dupe for Black Orchid, because it’s much lighter and less nuanced. But it I do get similar vibe, especially in the beginning, and taking into account the price difference and much better wearability for migraine patients like me, I’d recommend to get a sample of RR if you like BO.

I love it! It smells mainly of red fruits with sparkling bergamot and spices softened with ambery notes which make it pleasant and interesting. To me this fragrance represents subtle elegance, it's not overbearing and the color of the bottle suits it just right. In the drydown, the scent becomes somewhat sharper and shows similarities with my beloved AB+- Cashmere (Uer me) and Gucci Guilty absolute, maintaining the specific sophistication, characteristic of this line of Trussardi perfumes.

As always, Trussardi never fails, It's elegant, youthtul, versatile, can be worn daily or in the evenings. But of course as all Trussardi perfumes, doesn't last long.

This is simple, sweet, berries fruity dominating perfume that will make you smell nice without making too much of an effort to stand out in a crowd. I was not really expecting much and it smells exactly like what I imagined it to be. The patchouli is not heavy but I am sure it is doing its work to give the perfume some depth and strength. The ginger, vanilla orchid, ylang ylang and bergamot are not so prominent but they are very good support to the berries that are the ones more noticeable on my skin. Longevity and sillage are good and I find it very easy to layer with other perfumes that are one dimensional to give them more character. Pretty bottle design so if you can get it at a decent price and want something easy breezy to wear anytime, go for it. It is not a unique scent and I am certain I have some other Middle Eastern perfumes with a similar vibe but I like it for what it brings to the table hence why I didn’t give it a love thumbs 👍🏽.
