Red classic
The fragrances from the Monsieur Couturier range appear to have been reissued.

According to history, there have been no appearances or fragrances (at least in the last 20 years or so).

That's why I find the three reissued fragrances all the more exciting - in fact, you have to call them reissued classics:

Because both the blue Cobalt, Rouge Nacarat and Noir Cashmere are actually somehow classic men's fragrances in a new or newer guise.

A little more contemporary, stronger, more durable, but also very classic.

The Rouge Nacarat at this point is intended to represent a consistent theme from the packaging to the bottle to the contents; I think this has been absolutely successful.

The fragrance is (as the name suggests) "red". This is achieved by the powderiness of the fragrance.

It is like freshly powdered.

But not sweet and sticky in the sense of powdery, but soft powder, soapy soft (but just this qualitative "French soap" - I know there is no such thing as "the" French soap, but the kind).

More precisely: a little fresh after spraying on the top note.

Overall, the fragrance has a rather classic feel.

However, it is perfect for everyday wear because it is not dusty or overly old-school, but has a classic quality.

The fragrance is much more "grown-up".

No, dear Xjerjoff boys and DeMarly disciples, I have to disappoint you. It's not for you.

Not sweet and spicy or cardboardy, straight lines, a clear bottle with no frills and no princess vase! It's more substance than appearance and not a bathroom ornament, but the wearer of Rouge Nacarat doesn't need that either!
The freshness recedes a little as the fragrance progresses and the balanced lavender in the center, in combination with the oriental note, gives a little fougere vibe; there is also sage, which I personally find is unfortunately far too rare in perfumes. In my opinion, sage is a really beautiful and exciting note.

Therefore I demand: More sage!

Dear perfumers, something is possible!
Further in the course:

These heart note fougere vibes (always with this oriental powderiness and softness, without being herbaceous or biting) fade into a slightly sweeter base. This becomes slightly vanilla-like and somewhat sweet - the accord is also reminiscent of a classic fougère fragrance!
The fragrance is well made, classic, solid and good craftsmanship and a great neo-classic that is almost impossible (as of today) to buy anywhere (not even online).

I got it myself from a niche perfumery in Frankfurt, which has added it to its range (along with the other two versions) - a good thing, in my opinion.

If you like cool classics and neoclassics, you should definitely check this one out!

Classic? ... Yes!
Old-fashioned? ... No!
A fougère, just as the modern man desires.
With fresh wings and grounded presence.

"Rouge" fits perfectly: A presence scent - powdery, fine, elegant. Present + intense, but with style instead of being clumsy and loud. Not sweet! Grown-up + classic.
