Majda Bekkali Mon Nom est Rouge is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Cécile Zarokian. Mon Nom est Rouge opens with Rosewood, Geranium, Pink Pepper, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Rose, Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of White Tobacco, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Majda Bekkali's Mon Nom est Rouge carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

A powerhouse of a fragrance that splits opinion sharply - you'll either adore its audacious spicy rose and incense blend or find it completely overwhelming. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those it clicks with, it's a profound, head-turning scent.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, often described as 'monster' or 'beast mode', make it unsuitable for an office environment where it could easily overpower. However, this commanding presence is perfect for dates and formal occasions, where its rich, spicy, and often vampy profile can truly shine, drawing compliments.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Mon Nom est Rouge bursts forth with a vibrant, almost fizzy spice kick from pink pepper, cumin, and ginger, layered over an aromatic elemi incense. This quickly deepens into a rich, dark rose heart, bolstered by warm cinnamon and cardamom. The drydown unveils a luxurious base of labdanum, sandalwood, and patchouli, with creamy vanilla and subtle tobacco adding a sensual, smoky sweetness that lingers for ages.
