A milder POAL

This is not a knockout rose/ patch combo like portrait of a lady, nor is it a old fashioned powdery rose, but there's something about it that I find very moreish.
It's out and out rose but I get an almost buttery, comfy note and I love it.
POAL I wouldn't dream of wearing to bed or for day wear at work, but this I can and do.
The silage is not huge but the longevity is good on me.
It reminds me of a less complex, lighter version of POAL and a fantastic scent for when you want rose/amber and a light patch to wear all day, any day and for that reason I love it.

Amazing Rose - how sweet the smell

I have always been fascinated by roses…
That particular flower is a wonder of the world. Of creation. Of evolution. A beauty amongst all other flowers. And still it is only human kind that appreciate the look and the smell. I dare say that it is only a few among many that can appreciate a really great rose fragrance. I am one of those. Not that I am something special - but I really do like roses!
This is a fantastic rose fragrance. I do love patchouli in the right amount and I do live amber - but the rose in this is amazing. I sniff my wrist many times when wearing it and it just keeps getting better. The combo of the three notes is worth it all.

Heavy Rose Scent for Real Women of Substance

After being so captivated by Tom Ford’s Noir de Noir (and still being captivated), I started to take an interest in other rose/patchouli fragrances. The Rouge Nocturne looked so beautifully luscious, and the descriptions sounded good, so I bought it blind (the madness doesn’t lessen!). In the meantime, I’ve used about 10 ml of it and am still puzzling over how I feel about it. Let me describe what I see:

“The performance is over. She sits in her theater dressing room located in the basement, illuminated only by dim light. The dark red, heavy velvet dress has already been worn for countless performances. It could use a good cleaning. She critically examines herself in the mirror. She won’t be able to convincingly play the role of the young lover for much longer, as it is evident even up close that she is no longer young. Not even makeup can hide that. Her face shines oily. She applies another thick layer of powder and sniffs at the bouquet of blood-red roses that a suitor - she still has some - has placed on the table…”

This may sound more negative than intended. But these are my main associations with the scent: dark, fully bloomed roses with their velvety leaves, heavy sweetness, red velvet, and powder/makeup. I find the scent fascinating, which is why I wear it repeatedly - mostly in the evenings, just for myself. I think it’s a velvety, heavy, and somehow intimate rose scent, a fragrance for mature, confident women of substance, which I can’t imagine on young girls.

But there is a disturbing factor: somehow there’s a greasy note that lingers over everything, especially in the initial phase. A certain oiliness. And this note is the reason why the scent is very interesting to me, but unfortunately not the great hit I had hoped for, and thus not a fragrance I would like to wear out.

And yet: On the other hand, this scent also won’t let me go. So I continue to wear it in the evenings in my boudoir…

And the night graciously covers the glaring day with its soft blanket...

The shimmer of rich colors like night green, night blue, or night red, as the velvet envelops the body in soft waves - there are hardly any more beautiful colors. So soft, with a black undertone and silky sheen.

This is exactly how Rouge Nocturne is. Gentle, soft, shimmering in the color of a dark red rose, with velvety soft petals. Nevertheless, it has a good sillage, even if the longevity - as with Rose Infernale - does not justify the high price.

I can hardly imagine that the pyramid is complete. Occasionally, accents of caramel are perceptible, as well as hints of honey and licorice. Rouge Nocturne is a gourmand without any oriental suggestion.

Fortunately, the sweetness diminishes a bit over time; otherwise, it would be unbearable despite the short longevity of about 5 hours. It could fundamentally appeal to me, but this caramel note in the background, which lingers on the skin for quite a while, bothers me immensely.

The bottle is beautiful, and the dark red color of the perfume reminiscent of red wine makes it interesting. Fortunately, there are no stains.

Rouge Nocturne is also not a candidate for purchase for me. While it was the masculine touch in Rose Infernale, here it is this unpleasant background note that I would identify as caramel. It is also a tad too artificially sweet for my taste.

I’m not sure if I want to test any more of T. d. Gunzburg's fragrances...

Purple Red Rose

MIDNIGHT
It was as if the sky
Had quietly kissed the earth,
So that she must now dream
In the shimmer of blossoms.
The air moved through the fields,
The ears swayed gently,
The forests rustled softly,
So clear were the stars in the night.
And my soul spread
Its wings wide,
Flying through the quiet lands,
As if it were flying home.
(Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff)

Only 3 fragrance notes are listed here, and I can smell all 3.
Like many fragrance enthusiasts, patchouli is often associated with something musty, grave-like, or the "hippie" era.
Patchouli is a woody scent that strongly reminds one of a forest. It is also a heavy fragrance that leans towards exoticism and exudes a bit of sweetness. When combined with other fragrance essences, patchouli transforms into a sensual, erotic scent. Patchouli smells intense and lingers for a long time. It is always present.
Amber, loved and hated by me. When properly dosed or correctly - for my nose - combined, amber is divine.
This dry, balsamic, and woody/tobacco-like scent is aphrodisiac and gives other fragrance notes a "Hello, I'm here and holding you tight" feeling.
Then there is the Turkish Damask rose - or more simply expressed, rhododendron.
Beautiful, plump blossoms - I believe even in 3 different colors. Magnificent shrubs, and my brother-in-law's mother even had bushes/trees of them in her garden. Man-high and as wide as 3 elephants side by side.
The uniqueness of the Damask rose is its scent, a beautiful and pure rose fragrance. Not piercing or sharp, poking the nose. It begins to softly diffuse when the first petals unfold; it maintains its strength, manner, and purity for a long time. It is the purest and most reliable rose scent. But the Damask rose has other advantages as well. Rose oil helps with bronchitis, sore, dry, and inflamed skin, ulcers, palpitations, depression, and anxiety, enhancing the ability to enjoy in general and sensuality in particular. Through its harmonizing effect, it can calm feelings, alleviate fears, and dissolve blockages...
*
All together, Rouge Nocturne, the purple red rose, is such a serene, protective scent that even a non-rose lover could appreciate.
A fragrance that is unusual on one side, because I think amber and rose like each other but don’t really come together, and on the other side, they shake hands and enjoy the time.
The longer you wear Rouge Nocturne, the softer it becomes, and the rose appears now and then, but never permanently. Patchouli and amber fit perfectly without coming off as hippie-like.
*
I connect this scent with the poem by Joseph because it initially exudes a bit of coolness, but then radiates a beautiful sense of security.
Beautiful...
