| Hi there, Jay, nice to "meet" you! You have an amazing nose for such a young age - that's fantastic! I know what you mean about wanting to find a great fragrance. When I was in high school, I was wearing Coco by Chanel when everyone else was wearing Jovan Musk or something like that! lol Welcome to fragrance addiction. ;-) I'll try to answer your questions as best I can. The first one - what does this smell like? Rouge reminds me of a grownup, sexier version of Dunhill's Desire. It is VERY distinctive and well balanced - not too sweet or sharp, just right. Slighty fruity topnotes, then it gets more spicy and the wood notes emerge on the drydown. It is very seductive. You will definitely not smell like everyone else if you wear this as it is fairly unknown. Not sure where you could test it, though. I found it at a very high end fragrance store. You might be able to find a mini if you search the internet. This is truly a magnificent scent and will set you apart from everyone else, but I would reserve this for the evening - it's not a daytime scent. Here are some of my favorite mainstream fragrances for men: the new Burberry London, most of the Bvlgari line (pour homme, Extreme, Blv, and Soir), Arpege pour homme by Lanvin (very sexy!), Hypnose by Lancome, Ambre by Baldessarini (very nice sweet/smoky/amber/rum notes), L'eau D'Issey *Bleue* and Bleue Eau Fraiche, Red Delicious by Donna Karan, M7 by Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci pour homme, Eau Sauvage by Dior. Some of these are light and fresh, others rich and sensual. There are many more, but I can't remember them right now...I'll post again when I'm more awake! ;-) Anyway, best of luck with your search for a signature scent. Xeryus Rouge will certainly put you on the map! Let me know what you think of it. I look forward to reading your posts. Take care! ~Barbara |
