I was looking around farmers at perfumes as I was wanting to upgrade from my high school teenie bopper Britney Spears Fantasy which had now become my trademark smell to all of my friends. I came across Rouge By Dita Von Teese.
Looking at the bottle, it was rather bland. I gave my wrist a quick spray just to see what it smelt like.
Oh my good lord. I absolutely loved it! I convinced my mum to buy it for me right there and then as I didn't have the money in my account to do so myself, but I just had to have it!
I bought the 40ml bottle for $69.00 which I thought was reasonable.
Taking it home, I sprayed it on me properly, the squirt is almost like an aerosol spray- very powerful with a wider area of coverage, unlike all my other perfumes.
The smell is firstly sweet, a bit of orange, but then comes the heavy musk of woody tones.
My flat-mate described it as more of a mature smell.
That was exactly what I was looking for.
So if you've been stuck with the sickly sweet almost candy-like perfumes and are looking for something more mature and sexy, this perfume is exactly that.
I love this perfume, it's not like the sickly sweet smelling teeny-bopper type of high school musical perfumes that have been coming out of late. The long lasting, slightly musk scent, with lovely under tones of citrus and flora notes create a more mature smell without being nana-ish. I can't wait for the rest of her line to come out in New Zealand. <3 <3 <3
Tips: try not to use too much and when you do try out a perfume spritz some onto a pressure point (wrist or elbow) and if the scent remains 5-6 hours later then it is a scent for you.
