Vetifleur Rogue
by Rogue Perfumery
Vetifleur Rogue presents a quiet, refined floral chypre with a soft, soapy green aura and a faintly earthy undertone. It opens with a light, effervescent burst of sparkling aldehydes and citruses, evoking a clean, almost medicinal quality—some describe it as antiseptic or reminiscent of freshly opened bandages. This quickly settles into a delicate, powdery floral heart dominated by white blossoms, rose, jasmine, and iris, layered over a subtle woody base of vetiver and oakmoss. The fragrance is linear and unassuming, with a quiet elegance that leans feminine but remains unisex in character. While exceptionally gentle, it lacks strong presence or complexity; the sillage is moderate at best and longevity is merely moderate, with many noting it fades quickly. The drydown is dusty, slightly musky, and indolic, especially in the opening of a full bottle, which can feel overtly dirty or overwhelming to sensitive noses.
Pros
- +Offers a soft, elegant floral chypre tone that is quiet, clean, and unpretentious—ideal for low-key days or office settings.
- +Sits well as a signature scent for those who prefer subtle, but not faint, experiences without confrontation or boldness.
- +Despite its quiet nature, it's intelligently composed with quality naturals, suggesting craftsmanship above commercial appeal.
Cons
- −Performance is subdued; the fragrance barely lasts beyond moderate time and lacks projection.
- −Some users find the indole-heavy opening overwhelming—described as dusty, musky, or even unpleasantly so—especially for those sensitive to indoles.
- −The lack of standout character or distinct identity can leave even admirers feeling it's 'just another' vetiver scent, not worth repurchasing.
