I purchased a small decant (unsniffed) of Rousse from a fellow Perfumista. Upon first spritz I liked it very much. The day that I first wore it to work I received at least two compliments from...

I LOVE THIS!!! Really warm and cinnamon-y. Not too sweet but sweet enough. Unusual and comforting.

I had a sample of this and it is the most disgusting fragrance I ever tried. I kept thinking- old wooden table with a spilled vase of old gross flower smell on the wooden table. It depressed me.

I love this Perfume. I love the scent of bark and cinnamon wafting from my skin. It's quite unique and fades into a delicious musky floral note. It's soft, deep and well balanced.

I envy people who say this is heavy and lasts a long time. On me this is faint and wears close to the skin. Azuree Soleil which is supposed to be a skin scents is way stronger on me than Rousse....

Cinnamon bark and playdoh. Nothing else, which is a pity with such intriguing notes. Argh.

Rousse was designed for redheads, and yes, it's a perfect fragrance for us! It's about all sorts of cinnamon, the bark, leaves, and the ubiquitous cinnamic aldehyde (Red Hots). This really wakes me...

This is my favourite fragrance, what I turn to the most. On me it's hardly sweet at all, and is a lot more gentle and feminine than Chergui. It's not full of surprises, but it hits the spot for...

I really liked this one, and will keep in mind for future purchase. I didn't find it as sweet as other reviewers have, perhaps because the spice was quite strong on my skin and cut the sweetness....

Rousse has always struck me as a poor relation of the Lutens Eaux Boisees, and a tragicomic one at that. If one is not familiar with the spice/cedar sequence so beloved of the nose, then Rousse...

I purchased this fragrance as a sample from aedes. Since I'm 55, I guess I can say this: it reminds me of an old lady smell....something that came out of a "dime store" oh so many years ago. On...

Rousse is a unique and full-bodied cinnamon scent which is part of the Serge Lutens Export line. I love the way it smells in the bottle and on clothing, but not on my skin. In the bottle, it...

Yowza! This is REAL cinnamon, of that I have no doubt. Also, I'm a bit puzzed that people have mentioned this is sweet- I get no sweetness at all. (And my skin pulls "sweet" like crazy!) On me,...

This is a wonderful fragrance for winter. Exclusively warm, oriental, exotic, sweet, but within limits, it's a magic liquid of cinnamon perfection. This scent is a fusion of mandarin, cinnamon,...

This would be a "1" for the unbearable opening on my skin. However, the drydown is a nice cinnamon. There just isn't the complexity or warmth to draw me in, not to mention the topnotes. Did...

The reviewer who said "Arabie wrapped in Big Red cinnamon gum" was bang on - I don't know what I could say that would be as accurate and parsimonious as her pithy description, so I'll settle for...

Rousse, to me, smells like Arabie wrapped in Big Red cinnamon gum. I don't mean that pejoratively. It's not as sophisticated as most Lutenses but it's got a feel of naughtiness to it. Not...
