Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Base Notes
Patchouli · Vetiver
A burst of crisp apple and green apple opens Rouge with immediate brightness and vitality. This invigorating top note creates a radiant first impression, setting the stage for what unfolds beneath—a scent built in the same style as its designer inspiration, yet crafted with CA Perfume's commitment to accessible luxury.
The composition evolves into a sophisticated heart of pine and pine tree, bringing depth and natural elegance to the profile. These aromatic middle notes create a poised, subtly magnetic character that grounds the freshness above and bridges seamlessly into the base, unfolding gradually across the early hours of wear.
Vetiver and patchouli anchor Rouge with earthy sophistication, creating a soft personal halo that lingers gracefully. With 6–8 hours of longevity and noticeable sillage, this fragrance maintains its presence throughout spring and summer days, evolving naturally from morning to evening without demanding attention.
Performance & Wear
Rouge delivers 6–8 hours of wear on skin with noticeable projection. Apply to pulse points for optimal diffusion. Layering with the Body Oil extends longevity significantly. Perfect for warm weather and evening wear. HumanSafe™ Verified · IFRA Compliant · 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.
How It Compares to Lacoste Red
