Launched in 2020 and created by perfumer Nathalie Gracia-Cetto, Rouge by Comme des Garçons is a daring exploration of contrasts. The fragrance opens with the unexpected freshness of beetroot, which cuts through the spicy notes of pink pepper and ginger, creating an immediate tension that engages the senses. As it evolves, incense and labdanum add depth, wrapping the composition in a smoky, balsamic embrace. Patchouli grounds the mix with its earthy warmth, ensuring Rouge remains both intriguing and wearable.

Application Tips
Apply Rouge sparingly at first; its complex layers unfold gradually. The beetroot top note fades quickly, but the spicy and smoky heart notes linger. It's best suited for evening wear when you want a scent that evolves with you.
