The powders of the past
At that time, there was no thought of me at all. And my grandparents hadn't even been born yet or were still in diapers as babies or toddlers... I mean the time of the "Belle Epoque" around the turn of the century before last! But I still place this fragrance back in this sometimes even decadent time! The ladies still wore long dresses and skirts. The elaborate pinned-up hairstyles. Even corsets -- the tighter the better. The "wasp waist" in perfect form. Probably very uncomfortable and sometimes even harmful - but "in the middle without" - and you weren't a fine lady! And the gentlemen with their stiff standing collars... called "father killers" - probably didn't have it any better. I'm sure they sometimes caught their breath, and not just when they got upset. But - as is still the case today in a different form: "If you want to be hip, you have to suffer"!!!
And the scent was probably also a special one. People loved powdery, floral opulence and it couldn't be sweet and opulent enough to score olfactory points! The latest trend from Paris, Milan or London was a must, especially in "fine society".
This balsamic powdered "over-rose" of this "Rouge Privé" ... "Private red" could well have found many fans at the time. This "melting", which could also be described as "Schmäh" in "Viennese". The enigmatic, almost "erotic" after-smells could have elicited a small, pointed "Oh- la la" from many a mouth. The sweet woody notes are so subtly powdery that many would probably have looked around for the wearer on the street.
Yes, these "powders of the past" are not so "without" ;-))

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.

Boring coffee
Received a sample of this Rouge Privé with my last perfume order.
The durability and quality is unbeatable, but unfortunately this is not my fragrance. But who likes Intense Café by Montale, is here in good hands. The similarity is amazing.
Since the Intense Café is so not at all mine, this one also can not score with me.
The coffee note is there, although coffee is not listed, he smells for my nose unfortunately boring and stale, so not very pleasant and quite synthetic. At the same time, I love the smell of coffee. Also, there's something in there that I don't like. I can't really name it, maybe like old caramel? The ingredients read wonderful, but something doesn't fit. Is it the benzoin that is ruining the scent (for me)? But what does benzoin smell like anyway? Or does the composition of the ingredients with each other (among themselves) not quite fit? Otherwise, it is slightly sweet and resinous.

By the way, the scent is linear and does not undergo any particular development on my skin. He remains the same from beginning to end. But since tastes are different, this could please some fragrance lovers.

Conclusion: not a candidate for purchase for me. Overall, quite sultry, for me not portable.
And: this fragrance you should definitely test before...a blind purchase is not recommended.
