Rogue Perfumery 40 Rogue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Manuel Cross. 40 Rogue opens with Citrus, Fruity Notes, Basil, and Tarragon, settles into a heart of Rose, Carnation, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Musk and Oakmoss. Rogue Perfumery's 40 Rogue carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive, anachronistic marvel that's not for the faint-hearted. It’s either a masterful resurrection of a bygone era or a challenging, dated aroma. You'll either adore its eccentric charm or recoil from its animalic depth.

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
Also Works:
Spring Summer

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection in the initial hours and its 'challenging' scent profile as noted by reviewers, it's not ideal for the office or casual everyday wear. However, its unique and sophisticated character makes it well-suited for formal events and romantic evenings where a statement scent is desired.

About

40 Rogue opens with a fizz and zest of aldehydes and citrus, a bright, almost cooling blast. This quickly deepens into a herbaceous heart of basil and tarragon, offset by subtle floral hints of rose and carnation. The base reveals a rich, earthy oakmoss and soft musk, creating a complex interplay of clean freshness and verdant, musky undertones.
