Rouge Chaotique

A bright, spiced opening of citrus and cassis deepens into plum and praline, then settles into a smoky, woody drydown with polished, intimate warmth.

Scent Development and Character

Rouge Chaotique opens with a bright, spiced lift of bergamot, lemon, saffron, and cassis. It quickly turns into a dense fruity-gourmand core where plum and praline feel glossy and warm, supported by an airy woody texture from upcycled oakwood. The drydown is more restrained and enveloping, with papyrus and upcycled patchouli giving the composition a smoky, dry, slightly leathery shadow rather than a heavy oud emphasis.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to evening wear and cooler weather, where its dense fruity-gourmand profile and smoky woods can unfold without feeling too heavy. The official product presentation emphasizes that it works close to the skin and lingers for many hours. Fall and winter. Sillage is estimated as moderate to intimate, with long-lasting wear.
