Rose Rouge

Then, in that same continuity, Van Cleef & Arpels also decided to take a closer interest in the world of perfumery. Since 2009, Van Cleef & Arpels has been enriching its Collection Extraordinaire, bringing together noble fragrances with short but luxurious formulas. Today, the Collection Extraordinaire welcomes a newcomer. Focus on Rose Rouge by Van Cleef & Arpels.

The refinement of Van Cleef & Arpels' Collection Extraordinaire

The Collection Extraordinaire by Van Cleef & Arpels is an exceptional stance that honors the finest raw materials used by perfumers. It is, in a way, a tribute to the house's Haute Joaillerie, which has now transformed into Haute Parfumerie. Each of the fragrances making up this assortment showcases an emblematic raw material and elevates it. The Collection Extraordinaire brings us the most beautiful elements of nature and displays them in their finest expression. The result is fragrances with a pure and highly accomplished formula. The Collection Extraordinaire reveals a sublimated nature, charged with emotion and endowed with incredible precision. All these fragrances are presented in a shared bottle, itself synonymous with quality luxury. Rectangular and vertical, it is striking for its heavy glass weight and solid base. This time, its transparency reveals an orange-pink colored juice. A black and white embossed label is placed on the front to elegantly reveal the name of this fragrance: Rose Rouge.

Rose Rouge, the finest of flowers in the service of perfumery

If Van Cleef & Arpels chose to work around the theme of the Red Rose, it is no coincidence. It is one of the flowers most cherished by perfumers and artists in general. Its vivid color, downy petals and richly deep scent make it one of the most celebrated plants on the planet. Used in perfumery since Antiquity, rose has delighted women for countless generations. Here, however, rose takes on a scent that remains rather unfamiliar. Its floral breath takes on more gourmand tonalities. The result is a chypre and sweet juice. Rose Rouge by Van Cleef & Arpels brings together voluptuous and fruity Turkish rose essence, and more floral rose absolute. An icy breath of pink pepper also enriches the whole with an incisive freshness. Blackcurrant from Burgundy, for its part, comes across as tangier. Vetiver and patchouli take hold of the composition and amplify its depth and character. The Rose thus becomes more majestic. Finally, Rose Rouge by Van Cleef & Arpels concludes with a bitter and sensual duo of cocoa and musk.
