This fragrance was a blind buy (will I ever learn?)and it instantly reminded me of something. It’s a complete dead ringer of another designer fragrance but I can’t for the life of me place what it is? It’s really frustrating actually. It has the weight and sensuality of a real heavy hitting oriental but with a cheap and synthetic nature, all at the same time.
I kinda want to reel off a load of fragrances it resembles, none of them being THE one it actually smells exactly like… but first, the notes.
The opening is a hint of bergamot but you can forget that within a nano second, Chambre Rouge is about a ton of powdered spice and a massive dose of sweet amber, loads of benzoin, loads of vanilla, musk and woods. I’d say the guiac and sandalwood are most prominent, just adding to the powdery nature of the santal/vanilla drydown. I have to admit I like it and my girlfriend absolutely loved it. It’s almost sickly a slightly odd a beguiling mixture of The One, Le Male, Mont Blanc Individuel, and elements of the unnatural kinda plastic from Henae Mori or Versace Dreamer.
I will update this review when I finally remember what this is essentially a clone of, after kicking myself.
The facts are though, despite this fragrance having it’s flaws it actually lasts well and for those who like Chambre Rouge, it would be quite easy to end up loving it especially at this price. I mean the bottle isn’t bad, kinda reminds me of YSL Jazz but the tacky, slightly askew printed label with a font borrowed from a 1991 Terminator 2 poster just serves as a reminder this is a bargain bucket fragrance.
I couldn’t wear this fragrance often because I find it a bit too cloying but for occasional Autumn/Winter wear it’s worth having in my wardrobe. It’s a pleasant surprise which makes me want to delve into what else Pascal Morabito has to offer, some of which are not on the Fragrantica database.
