Our verdict on Rousse: Favourite

This one's a true classic, an approachable Serge Lutens that showcases cinnamon in its purest, warmest form. It's a crowd-pleaser that evokes strong feelings of cosy nostalgia, though some find its linearity a bit much. A real shame it's so hard to find now.

About

Imagine stepping into a spice merchant's cabinet; Rousse hits you with a blast of hot, dry cinnamon upfront. This isn't your average sweet gourmand sugar bomb, but a sophisticated, woody rendition. Clove adds a fiery kick, tempered by the subtle resinous amber warmth, all laid on a solid cedar base. A hint of mandarin provides a fleeting citrus flash, rounding out this rich, inviting oriental.
