Rouge Sarây is a rich, gourmand oriental with a sweet, woody, and balsamic core that unfolds like a warm, syrupy embrace. The opening features juicy plum and spiced cinnamon, leading to a deeply layered heart of honeyed dates, heliotrope, and patchouli that evokes sticky date pudding or dried fruit tarts. Guaiac wood and sandalwood add a dry, creamy depth alongside vanilla and Peru balsam, creating a smooth, opulent foundation that feels both luxurious and enveloping. The fragrance performs well, offering deep longevity and moderate sillage that lingers close to the skin, making it ideal for cooler seasons and intimate settings. It balances sweetness with a spiced, woody edge to prevent cloyingness, though some find it dense or sweet enough to feel overwhelming.
