Scent Profile

Composition

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 potent projection and intense sweetness make it unsuitable for office wear, but perfect for date nights where its sensual, warm aura can shine. It's too heavy for casual daytime use but could work for formal evening events due to its luxurious and elegant character.

About

Bengale Rouge is a thick, syrupy amber beast, steeped in myrrh and honey that often conjures images of mulled wine or spiced cola. Creamy vanilla and tonka bean provide a plush sweetness, while a subtle rose note adds a touch of elegance. The sandalwood gives it a resinous, woody depth, creating a richly complex and warm experience.
