Red Classic
The fragrances from the Monsieur Couturier line seem to have been reissued.
According to history, there have been no releases or fragrances (at least in the last 20 years).
All the more exciting I find the three newly reissued fragrances, or rather, we must say reissued classics:
For both the blue Cobalt, Rouge Nacarat, and Noir Cashmere are actually somehow classic men's fragrances in new or newer attire.
A bit more contemporary, stronger, more durable, but still very classic.
The Rouge Nacarat should represent a consistent theme from packaging to bottle to content; I find this absolutely successful.
The scent is (as the name suggests) "red." This is achieved here through the powderiness of the fragrance.
It is like freshly powdered.
However, it is not sweet-sticky in the sense of powdery, but rather soft powder, soapy soft (but indeed this qualitative "French soap" - I know, there is no "the" French soap, but in that manner).
To be more precise: A bit fresh upon spraying in the top note.
Overall, the fragrance comes across as rather classic.
However, it is perfect for everyday wear, as it does not come off as dusty or overly old-school but rather qualitatively classic.
Much more, the fragrance is "grown-up."
No, dear Xjerjoff boys and DeMarly disciples, I must disappoint you. This is not for you.
Not sweet-spicy or sticky, straight line, clear bottle without frills and no princess vase! More substance than appearance, and the wearer of the Rouge Nacarat does not need that at all!
The freshness diminishes a bit over time, and in the center, the balanced lavender, combined with the oriental note, gives off some Fougere vibes; additionally, there is sage, which, as I personally find, is unfortunately too rarely smelled in perfumes. Because sage is, in my opinion, a really beautiful and exciting note.
Therefore, I demand: More sage!
Dear perfumers, there is potential!
Continuing in the progression:
These heart note Fougere vibes (always with this oriental powderiness and softness, without being herbal or biting) culminate in a slightly sweeter base. This becomes slightly vanillic and somewhat sweet - in terms of the accord, it also borrows from a classic Fougere fragrance!
The fragrance is well made, classic, solid, and good craftsmanship, and a great neo-classic that is hardly available anywhere (as of today) (not even widely online).
I got it from a niche perfumery in Frankfurt, which has added it to their assortment (along with the other two versions) - a good thing, in my opinion.
Anyone who appreciates cool classics and neo-classics should definitely take a closer look at this one!
