Roses are red and .... I smell bad
I have this fragrance only as a sample, otherwise I would be annoyed beyond measure. However, I would perfume with so much rose also not even buy blindly, because rose on me unfortunately always develops a slight note of baby puke.
The fragrance description of synthetic powdery I would like to disagree. The fragrance does not smell powdery, but after the rose penetrance has evaporated, rather woody and a bit sticky. Likewise, I don't find the longevity and sillage to be above average, but average at best, which is a plus for me with this fragrance. Gaaaanz at the end, just before the perceptibility threshold, it smells by the way slightly gourmandig and gentle. But you smell then yes only if you inhale the sprayed skin quasi.
I feel him at the beginning also not as fresh, as the lemon or the bergamot promise, because already there the rose drowns everything. Unfortunately, it is also not a refined rose, but a "I-break-your-nose-rose", which gets the help of patchouli to it if necessary. Where the smell of coffee comes from here is beyond me, but even that can't save the perfume, although I really like coffee. I also suspect that benzoin and patchouli are doing the trick for me here, because the scent gets on my nerves very quickly. Something is just not right here.
Yes, the similarity to Intense Café by Montale is absolutely there, I've sprayed them both on and am amazed at how alike they smell, but differently annoying and differently refined. I would prefer Montale's, whose longevity is a lot longer. In addition, the even a little cheaper to buy than Rouge Privé. Here price-performance ratio namely do not agree.
