Le Canotier Rogue

Le Canotier Rogue presents a refined, crisp vetiver-centric fragrance with a luminous opening marked by citric brightness and earthy woody depth. It blends bergamot, bitter orange, and haitian vetiver with subtle white florals and ambergris, creating a smooth, intertwining scent that feels both polished and slightly synthetic in its early stages. The drydown settles into a warm, slightly sweet ambergris and oakmoss base with a soft tobacco note, evoking a subtle sun-kissed, nostalgic feel — reminiscent of Millesime Imperial or a refined 90s freshie. While it lacks a truly striking or disruptive character, the fragrance projects well, especially during daytime use, and maintains a moderate sillage. Its complexity lies in the ease of its texture — smooth like a high-end shampoo or aftershave, yet with enough depth to sustain interest through the day. There is a noticeable cloying sweetness early on, particularly driven by nitromusks and white florals, but this fades smoothly into a more balanced, tobacco-ambergris drydown. These characteristics appeal strongly to those who appreciate subtle, sophisticated vetiver scents that feel both crafted and intimate, though the sweetness may alienate those seeking a more natural or austere profile.
