Vanille Rouge

Vanille Rouge by Versace is a rich, gourmand vanilla fragrance with a sweet, lactonic core highlighted by almond, rose, and musky notes. It opens with a round, berry-like sweetness reminiscent of Dior Rouge Trafalgar or Ristretto Intense Café before settling into a cozy, powdery vanilla with a subtle nutty Almond warmth and a soft, slightly bitter musk. The scent carries strong projection and moderate to strong sillage, making it highly noticeable—ideal for evening or winter wear. It rewards those seeking a bold, luxurious, unapologetically sweet vanilla experience, frequently compared to Mancera’s Vanille Rose or Montale’s offerings, though some feel it leans too heavily into gourmand candy floss notes. It is perceived as more feminine-leaning in appeal, despite being unisex in profile.
