Not easy to describe

At first I thought, looking at the picture, that this fragrance would be very feminine and sweet. Thought he might go a lot in the "Because it's You" direction.
The scent reminds me of a fresh summer cocktail. Sweet but reserved in the opening. Lillet.
Later it loses its sweetness, and what remains is simply stingingly fresh and clean. Which makes the fragrance once again wearable as a man.

To durability: was to be smelled on the back of my hand 10h, which surprised me very much.

For me, this fragrance is not a must-have, I find it original, but it is not what I like to wear. For some, it will certainly be a flop, while for others, it will certainly appeal to its uniqueness. Definitely smells like a niche to me

Incredibly well-dosed pyramid - love you!

As a fan rather of the banging fragrances with strong sillage I was yes hugely excited about my second Maison Christian Dior, because my first (New Look) was rather tame.
The description was so times quite something else.
And already in advance: yes, dear François, you have really managed quite great; the notes of the pyramid are well dosed and no one dominates.
So I found myself the first few minutes in the corner store again, where I bought back then after school for 60 pfennigs 2 cherry lollipops (the green stem :-)) and 2 foam strawberries. Mmhm, but that's actually not so my thing.
However, poof, is also already the mega sweetness disappeared and it remains a touch of fruit. Quite delicious.
Then, yes, that's mine, joins the so beloved black currant to it and brakes the sweetness completely with a fine tartness out.
The final chord with such an incredibly fine dosage P-M is just the blast and stays and stays and stays. I smell even after hours still ALL fragrance notes.
Despite a rather weak sillage you become one of my favorites.

Days gone by

It's spring or summer in 1997 in my home country.
I'm still a child and spend my days in my grandma's garden.
I spend time with the flowers growing there, watch any bugs, help my grandma water with my mini watering can (even though it probably made her even more work) and snack in between. I particularly liked sea buckthorn, raspberries and blackcurrants. The black berries were probably my favorite. They had this special tart taste and a very intense but wonderful scent...

After many years that have now passed, I have very rarely if ever been able to enjoy this kind of freshly picked, intensely fragrant blackcurrant. For one thing, our climate here is not ideal for this berry, and if it is, it's not exactly the variety from grandma's garden that I loved to eat as a child.

The first time I was sprayed with Rouge Trafalgar, without even knowing what scent it was, I was transported back to my childhood for a brief moment. Suddenly, my grandma's fragrant garden and the carefree and happiest days of my childhood were right in front of my inner eye. If I hadn't been in the middle of the crowded Breuninger at the time, I could probably have cried.
For me, this fragrance has the most authentic blackcurrant note ever. I can't compare it to other "similar" fragrances. It is fruity-sour and the blackcurrant plays the leading role, even if you can still smell the other fruity notes. I see this fragrance mainly on young women. And if I don't want to wear it one day, I'll still keep it to spray on a few childhood moments whenever I feel like it.

Not berry

I've been looking for a quality red berry fragrance for a long time and from the scent description I thought I had found it in Rouge Trafalgar. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The red berries are perceptible for the first few minutes, but evaporate very quickly. What remains is a woody, intense musky scent that you can't get off your skin for the rest of the day.

Fruity bomb for spring and summer

Honestly, I don’t get the hate that this fragrance received at its release. It was ignored by many and others put it in the cheap girly grocery store scent department.
I couldn’t disagree more.

Is it beastmode? No.
Is it completely unique and groundbreaking? No.
Is it complex and challenging? No, but it doesn’t has to be.
Is it easy to wear and enjoyable? Yes.

I understand that fragrance is a very subjective hobby. We all like certain kinds of fragrances for different reasons and we all wear fragrances for different reasons. But just because a fragrance doesn’t fulfill our criteria for being purchase-worthy doesn’t mean, that it’s a bad scent. It just means that it’s not made for us.

But now let’s come back to the fragrance. I’ve had the chance to test it a few times during this year. It starts with a blast of fruits. In the opening, I actually get more citrusy notes (grapefruit) than berries. Nevertheless some sort of berries can still be smelled easily. As it dries down the fragrance becomes a bit fresh and green. That’s also why I feel very comfortable wearing it as a man. The fragrance is a bit tart and very enjoyable. In contrast to Happy Hour from Dior, Rouge Trafalgar doesn’t turn sweet at all on my skin. At the end the fragrance remains fruity-green-musky.

Now depending on your skin, the development of the fragrance might be different but as mentioned before, I felt pretty confident wearing it myself. Sure, it is not that typical aquatic woody type of scent that you will find in any blue-ish men’s cologne but I see it very unisex.

Performance-wise you cannot expect a beast. This fragrance is intended to be worn in spring and summer and in warmer weather it projects nicely for about 2h and stays on skin for about 6 to 7h. That’s alright for this kind of scent.

The presentation is like any other Maison Christian Dior presentation, so you can find various videos of it on YouTube.

Getting back to the scent. The scent is simple and straightforward. If you look for complexity like Xerjoff offers, you won’t be happy with this scent. Otherwise, with increasing complexity of the scent often the wearability decreases. And I pretty much appreciate the wearable of this scent. It is easy to like and easy to wear.

Considering the pricetag, it’s up to you if you consider it being worth 200€ (125ml). Sure, there are fragrances much more expensive but 200€ seems steep for a scent like this and it’s the only reason why I haven’t purchased it yet.
I don’t know if I’m going to make a purchase in the future (maybe in 2021).
But I really wanted to point out, that this fragrance is not as bad as some said. So at least give it a try.
