Disappointing Fruity Mishmash
Firstly, let me say that Estee Lauder has produced some of my most beloved fragrances such as Private Collection, Cinnabar, Youth Dew, Beautiful, and Tuscany per Donna, but Modern Muse Le Rouge is disappointing. It is really nothing more than a mishmash of fruit and some weak florals that could easily be a B&BW body spray which I would not like.
Smelling it now, I realise I have smelt this on many women before and never liked it, but I had no idea what they were wearing. I never would have guessed it was an Estee Lauder fragrance. I heartily recommend all of the other EL fragrances mentioned above, but I cannot recommend Le Rouge, and do not think it is a safe blind buy. The quality is poor.
Fragrance: 3/10
Sillage: 4/10
Projection: 4/10
Longevity: 4.5/10
Presentation: 5/10
ETA: Anyone who wants to try a well made perfume in this vein, i.e. a fruity red rose with a bit of woodiness, would do well to try Serge Lutens's. La Fille de Berlin, or if budget is an issue, you would do better with B&BW You're The One, which is an excellent fruity rose for the price point and one of my favourite B&BW scents.
