Mon Rouge

I could've gotten it for free, but I read some reviews here and many were negative so I didn't get it. Well, I should've gotten it and I'm here to defend Mon Rouge. It reminds me of Euphoria by CK and slightly of Flowerbomb. On me it's quite spicy which I love. It makes the scent more mature. I get the fruitiness, but it's not girly. I thought it was girly in the beginning, but the more I smell it the more I find it classy, more mature. I understand why people find it harsh which I think is the patchouli, but to me it's getting on the border of being annoying but hasn't reached it, fortunately. I'm testing this in spring time. Unfortunately, the bottle is ugly. It's like YR doesn't want to make beautiful bottles anymore 😔. YR, bottles are important, too. Be more creative in creating ecological appealing bottles. It can be done. Come on.

so interesting! really like it at first - familiar but strange too. definetly not fresh, maybe a "light" heavy perfume tuberose-like. Then, I smell something like Mon Paris (YSL) or l'interdit (Givenchy) but not as sweet (fortunatly, i can't stand mon paris)

Ein ideales parfum fuer den Winter) Die pflaumennote ist ganz deutlich gepraegt.

I really like this nice little EDT from Yves Rocher. The plum note is what attracted me first. I'm a sucker for perfumes with plum note. This is lauded as floral cypher gourmand at the store and I think it delivers. The plum and blackcurrant notes make it juicy and fresh as the opening. Iris and neroli give it a deeper intensity. Instead of being regular tropical fruity gourmand, it has a cool detachment and aloofness quality that I like. Plus patchouli is giving it a minty herbal smell. Very appropriate for the holiday season. A cold berry mint of fragrance juice. I wish like everybody else, that this has better longevity and sillage. I just reapply as many times as I needed. Of course the blackcurrant in this reminds me of Si Passione Intense that I also have. But Si Passione has a lactonic quality this one doesn't, where it is focusing solely on blackcurrant and jasmine.

Very nice to be the first to review a new perfume in here! I just got my Mon Rouge in the mail today. The description of the notes and composition sounded like something right up my alley! Patchouli and plum? Yes please! Well, I should have trusted the aesthetics of the packaging more than my inner picture of the composition. Mon Rouge is fresh, fruity and a happy scent. It also has a bit sourness to it. I don’t detect the plum unfortunately. I see it more as a daytime perfume than for a dinner or a date. Good for baby shower or a garden party. My five sents: Mon Rouge can become a hit at Yves Rocher actually. It is just not for me. Maybe for a younger girl/woman?
