Derviche II Rogue
by Rogue Perfumery
Derviche II Rogue is a gourmand-sweet fragrance with a prominent fruity and vanilla-amber base, built around oud and earthy wood notes. It opens with a sparkling burst of candied fruits, citrus, and sweet vanilla, creating a palpable sugary effervescence that lingers heavily in the air. The scent evolves into a warm, slightly powdery, and subtly tobacco-tinged base, with oud providing a dry, earthy depth that tames the sweetness. While some find it excessive and overly sweet, others appreciate the luxurious texture and balance, noting its natural quality and strong projection. It’s particularly well-suited for evening wear in colder seasons, with a performance that lasts through the night.
