Van Cleef & Arpels Rose Rouge is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Julien Rasquinet. Rose Rouge opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Rose, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Musk, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Van Cleef & Arpels's Rose Rouge carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a proper jammy rose, absolutely stunning to many with a delicious gourmand twist. However, for some, the patchouli and vetiver can go a bit 'off', so do yourself a favour and test it first, eh?

About

Rose Rouge opens with a juicy burst of blackcurrant and raspberry, sharpened with a hint of pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a rich, sweet rose, backed by earthy vetiver. As it settles, a warm, creamy base of cacao, vanilla, and benzoin emerges, grounded by a subtle, grounding patchouli and musk. It's a gourmand rose that’s both indulgent and sophisticated.
