Description
Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss comes out in August 2016 as a new flanker of Modern Muse Le Rouge (2015), after the Modern Muse Eau de Rouge edition (spring 2016). Le Rouge collection is intended for the self-confident and sexy woman who never passes unnoticed. A bright color red is typical for her style, attitude and undeniable power effect.
Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss, a lacquer and make-up evoking composition, is enriched with notes of cherry and has an opening with its signature pink pepper note. The heart blooms with rose, representing the color red. The base ends with woody patchouli and sweet vanilla. The target group is women aged 25-45 years.
Again, the face of the campaign is Kendall Jenner. The fragrance will be available as a 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

This is amazingly beautiful. I smell a rich, jammy rose, a stunning cherry, vinyl and some citrus. The other notes are indistinct to my nose, but the whole works and is just flat out gorgeous. Sweet and thick seeming, dark. Longevity on me is about four hours. I can smell it when I move, even when it seems faint nose to wrist. All in all it’s currently my favorite perfume. I enjoy it more than Prada Candy Gloss, which is too tart and sharp to be a Love, and even more than Mancera Wild Cherry which is another strong love. And the price blows me away. If you love cherries, get it. It’s a cherry bomb.

I was on my bed and that inspired me to write a review for this perfume. To start off with, I prefer this perfume to the regular Modern Muse Le Rouge perfume. My nose immediately picks up on that pepper note in the regular perfume and I’m just not that wild about pepper notes in perfumes. I realize this perfume has a pepper note and I don’t even smell it here. The first thing my nose smells is that vinyl note. What a unique note to add to a perfume! It might be strange to a lot of people, I must admit I really do like the note. That note transfers to the rose note. It’s a beautiful, sweet smelling rose. And like what I was saying for Mariah Carey’s M perfume, this is the perfect perfume to wear when you’re going to bed. I know I wore this perfume a couple of nights ago and I can still smell traces of it on the sheets. I like it enough to replace the bottle when it runs out.
ruxta – :
very clever marketing – referring to the vinyl note here – some perfumes smell like plastic but then this one really owns it 🙂
smells like an alcoholic cocktail with some berry liquor ..
zaqw007q – :
What a sweet charming scent! IMO it is very similar to Prada Candy Gloss, just less sweet, and I get roses in the middle note, whereas in Prada Candy Gloss it is sweeter with almonds in its middle note. This perfume is sweet and suitable for woman in her 20s. I love it!

I feel that I have smelled this many times before. Not a very unique scent. I didnt like the original Modern Muse, but this is better than that one. I think it is generic. I feel its a Sweet patchouli combo that has been done by many parfume houses.
SiKeR – :
I didn’t think I was going to like this one because cherry notes in perfume (really, cherry scented anything) usually disagrees with my sensibilities. How surprised I was to enjoy Le Rouge Gloss. The cherry accord is blended really well with the vinyl and leather notes, the honeyed vanilla and the patchouli. The effect is very much like a Chapstick in a leather purse. The vinyl note is much more pronounced than it is in YSL Parisienne, which is great because if you’re gonna do it then I say go big or go home. Pepperflower has a great review, saying this is the smell of hashtags and Instagram filters. Yes! Absolutely! This smells like the perfect YouTube beauty vlogger, so perfect you’d be afraid to touch her. My personality is way too raw to get away with this scent on the regular but I appreciate it for the art. Too bad Estee Lauder can’t be bothered to credit the nose behind it.
vint_ust – :
I get a sweet cherry rose scent from this with a definite vinyl scent( like a record fresh out the sleeve) with a light leather drydown.
Empampnub – :
Sampling from a mini sent to me from a lovely swap mate.
A big love for me this one.
A pretty cherry rose, nothing mind blowing, to be honest but I very much love her. It’s hard to explain because really it’s just sweet and cherry berry type scent but is very appealing to and long lasting, I had to get a big bottle.
A great scent if you love super sweet cherry berry like I do. ❤

I’ve read about this a few times and thought it sounded intriguing so today when I noticed a tester on a store shelf I gave it a try. I almost always try on paper first, and only then on my wrist but, having seen it mentioned so often on here I just picked the bottle up and blasted my wrist. I’ve got to say that the sprayer delivered a powerful and wet blast rather than the gentle mist that some bottles dispense.
In a matter of seconds I regretted the action. I found it strong, sweet, overpowering with a weird plastic smell. Once I got home I washed my wrist but didn’t succeed in getting rid of all the scent. What was left was wonderful. Sweet/tart cheery with a light and wonderful touch of vinyl…yum. And, despite being washed off, I continued getting lovely wafts of it for the next couple of hours. Now I’m wondering, if I bought this, and sprayed it on before my shower, instead of after as I do with my other perfumes, could I recreate this much lighter and delicious effect?
kuzenok111 – :
This scent is badass. Expertly blended and the most unique fruity-floral I have experienced. Great sillage and longevity. I only wish I had gotten this one in the fall instead of spring.
The scent pyramid is really accurate for this one. I smell mostly cherry (not cloying or synthetic on me) with rose, vinyl, suede, vanilla, and patchouli. Great perfume.
Edit: if you are wanting this because you think it will smell like makeup or lipstick, I personally feel like you should look elsewhere.
eoa68 – :
Happy I found this clouded game player gem. It reminds me of one of my moms out of dated expensive, but still functional lipsticks. Opens a bit out dated with a Classy 80S feel that wears off in a few moments. Becomes more monderan does (not really the scents listed on the page here besides the vinyl) which is awesome. Does not last long! BUT. And yes BUT it is a hider. it pops up again and again for hours out of the blue. You get nice waves of the scent though out the day. It plays games with you. It is fun and a keeper.
zenj – :
I agree,,it isn’t very strong….sad.
nataliakuz2011 – :
This smells like a brand new car. This pyramid is so rock n roll! That record note is so dope. I’ve always loved the smell of vinyl so much I just wanted to eat it. This reminds me of its rival candy gloss
delkudorodov – :
a strong scent – soapy, rubbery, leather, unisex with a hint of sweetness
moderate silage
there’s something similar to A*Men by Thierry Mugler
ipsat4360 – :
Can it be true? A lipstick scent that is cheap and my husband complimented me on three times yesterday? Time to buy backups!!!!
soundsart – :
This is the hottest perfume in the world ever, vinyl leather dark cherries and lipstick, love it!!!
Pessockie – :
I have been wearing this since June of 2017 (it is Feb. 2018) and I still absolutely love this! This is still dark cherry and leather with that unique vinyl top note (which doesn’t last long).
The drydown is this darkly beautiful combination of cherry, dark red rose, and patchouli that reads as *almost* chocolate but this is not gourmand. I wear it often in the spring and summer but it’s what I picture that vampy vixen of the late night screen, Elvira, wearing.
vadik03 – :
I had this on ‘the top of my want list’ for a long time. Ran across one of those minis on evilbay and figured..why not? Well, as sort of expected, to me, I feel like if you have MM Le Rouge, you likely do not “need” this. On me, much like MM Le Rouge, I mainly pick up the rose, patchouli, and pepper notes. As with so many Lauder perfumes on my skin/to my nose, this is a “perfume smell”..sort of synthetic and very manufactured smelling to me…I can’t say this is a ‘real deal’ rose scent, for example. I do also pick up the cherry note peeking through now and then, so that is a nice addition from MM Le Rouge. This also has an ever so slight sweetness (the honey) that is missing (to me) from MM Le Rouge. I appreciate that the honey note seems done well here. Honey notes can be tricky to my nose/on my skin. Here it just lends a very subtle sweetness, but I can’t overtly detect ‘honey’. But all in all, I still say, if you have the MM Le Rouge, you probably do not need this. But hey, you might not like Le Rouge, and you might love this..who knows. But for me, I feel owning both are redundant.
For me, I find so many Lauder fragrances, even the ones created in recent years, take me back to the kinds of fragrances so many women in my childhood wore..be it one of my aunts, one of my mom’s friends, one of the ladies from church..on and on..so many just have a ‘retro’ kind of smell to me, and Gloss is one of them. A couple of spritzes is more than enough to get me through the day. Do I like Gloss..? Meh..almost. I definitely do not dislike it. Lauder fragrances just, as I said, take me back, like throwback retro fragrances of well put-together women of my childhood. So, to that end, they have a certain charm & appeal for me, that makes me still try them out and come back to them now and then. I am sentimental sometimes, what can I say?
At any rate, I would love to see Lauder create some ‘real deal’ note perfumes, and the company just inevitably always seems to come up short for me…Very synthetic. The Aerin line has many ‘real deal’ notes, but the Aerin line seems to have poor longevity, and I will say pretty much any Lauder fragrance I have ever tried or owned, will last all day, and even still smell on the clothing on laundry day. So, longevity is the bomb. Moderate to heavy sillage, depending how many spritzes I use.
I am glad I did only get a mini off of ebay, as I have the large bottle of MM Le Rouge. They are both similar enough that I would not want large bottles of both. I guess I do like this, the retro aspect of this. Not a fragrance I will reach for often, so..the mini bottle is fine. The other Le Rouge is more than enough for my occasional hankering for a ‘retro’ smell (although Gloss is more retro to me, Le Rouge is a little bit more modern). Side note: I can’t picture Kendall Jenner wearing these, though. She looks to me like more of a CK or Jo Malone or Kai gal. But..hey, she is making bank. Anyway..this is okay for me. I guess I just like the retro feeling/smell that I get from this. *shrug*
Yu-King – :
I picked this up as a blind buy thinking that it was another version of Modern Muse and I ended up liking this a lot. Looking at the notes listed above, I was sort of skeptical that I would enjoy it. I have a difficult body chemistry and some scents can present very wrong on my skin. However, I love leather and cherry and vanilla and this is a very good representation of all 3 on my skin.
While wearing it this weekend it brought to mind a wonderful memory of me looking through my moms well loved leather handbag for change to buy candy. And coming across a wonderful smell of leather, Smiths Brothers cherry cough drops and a warm unidentifiable perfume probably from her handkerchief.
This is going into my forever favorites as good feelings and good scents are fantastic parings.
sam0777 – :
LOVE!
This is a very nice fragrance that GoingBlonde sent me. I’ts almost as sweet as she! I do love it with its plastic lipstick or gloss I should say vibe. Thank you very much for the bottle I will use the heck out of it! ha ha
Give this one a try you wont regret it. I think it is the best flanker of the bunch.
Almomchoope – :
I tried Modern Muse on one elbow and Gloss on the other. I can smell the MM heritage in Gloss, but it really has it’s own, much bigger personality. I definitely smelled the vinyl – it’s odd. Not unpleasant, but I can’t say that I really want to smell like old records. I need to wear this a lot more to really decide what I think of it. I suspect this is a slow burner and I may come to love it. I’ll need to decide quickly if I want to buy it, if it has been discontinued. I think that would be a mistake on Estée Lauder’s part. This is so different to other fragrances around that it’s uniqueness cluld get quite a following given enough time, which, you would think, equals sales???
gertruder – :
I Blind bought this perfume just recently and I love it I think it’s gorgeous! It’s very unique and smells different than what I imagined. I’m surprised that it’s discontinued already. At first spray I get a lot of black cherries and a strong vinyl note. I actually really like the vinyl note , it makes this smell fun , different and sexy. The first 10 minutes is Cherry vinyl and slowly a waxy almost like a Vaseline smell comes through and that’s when it starts to smell like lip gloss. I know that doesn’t sound appealing but it really does work. 20 minutes later I can smell leather and Rose along with the Cherry. All the vinyl has disappeared by this time. After an hour of wearing this it becomes very creamy, the vanilla mixes with cherry and leather and it reminds me a lot of Givenchy damask Rose. The vanilla note is absolutely gorgeous alongside the Cherry and leather. Sillage starts off strong and then it sits close to the skin after the first 15 minutes but still noticeable when I move or the wind catches it. It’s very lovely and I’m glad to have added this to my collection. For all of you who are into layering try layering it with Lolita sweet, it’s a perfect combination bringing out the Cherry notes and adding a little more sweetness to it. Longevity seems to be around 4 hours.
lenyak – :
One of the best things Estée Lauder came up with lately , I wonder why they chose to discontinue this one while keeping in regular production other Modern Muse scents from the series which are much more ordinary and kind of boring, please forgive me if you disagree,
I suppose this didn’t quite “ catch” , as it has a distinct “niche “quality to it and it isn’t a crowd pleaser. You need to be open minded to novelty to enjoy this.
It’s sassy and sexy, but manages to stay classy. The vinyl and rose combo is rather surprising , while the suede is supporting the combo with a soft animatic note . The cherry is not fruity fresh but reminds of maraschino cherries, without being too sweet.
The silage and lasting power are both good, and the red bottle is a pleasure to look at.
Definitely the the best Modern Muse .
Herckulez – :
This is my favorite out of this Modern Muse line. Very intense, reminds me of some Tom Ford. Cherry is one of my favorite notes, and in this one it is very dominant along with red pepper. Indeed it is very modern cherry and pepper. Long lasting on me.
Rustam1988 – :
Lipstick,glossy,cherry,mildlysweet,and roses.These are all words to describe this lovely fragrance! Love!
Oleg22 – :
OMG love it to the moon !!
this perfume is a master piece rich unique sassy , spicy leathery sweet mysterious and sexy luxurious .
wear it if you dare .
eryomia – :
It smells like cherry lip gloss, but I’m strangely attracted to that. I don’t have anything like this, and the vinyl note doesn’t make this sharp, it somehow manages to stay creamy. Projection is average, I can smell it on myself so that’s good enough for me. I don’t think this is one you wear for other people, unless you work in cosmetics. It’s FB worthy for me.
I don’t understand why this one doesn’t get raved about, yet YSL Parisienne does. That one smelled way more sharp to me. If someone has this and doesn’t want it I’ll swap you my bottle of Parisienne for it.
VoroN – :
This reminds me of “Queen” by Queen Latifah with less projection and longevity and not as much vanilla. It is a lovely scent, and I am aware of patchouli, vanilla, fruit and labdanum. I get no leather or vinyl. I like this much better than the original Modern Muse, just wish it was a bit stronger. Very nice as a fall and winter treat and currently for sale at Marshall’s. I like this very much.
rio – :
Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss is very much like Le Rouge, but Le Rouge Gloss is more synthetic and projects more. I really don’t get the cherry as such. I prefer the original Le Rouge that is softer, mellower, and stays closer to the body.
ara.garage – :
It’s unfortunate that this is a flanker of a flanker of a white floral/musk fragrance. It has nothing in common with the original Modern Muse, and it’s way too good to be hidden away behind that stupid long flanker name. The red color scheme is the only thing about the marketing I find fitting for the fragrance. I wouldn’t have expected to like this so much before trying.
Anyways. The strongest note I get in Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss is rose, but there’s more to it. It has juicy, syrupy sweet cherry and the feminine kind of leather from the beginning on. As the scent dries down, honey joins in, later there are also vanilla and some resinous notes. The rose, cherry and leather stay for a long time, too. Most dominant notes in the base are leather, honey and patchouli.
I don’t detect the vinyl note or anything plasticy at all!
This is warm, dark, fruity, a bit spicy and balsamic. Intense and long lasting and quite complex. Very feminine and even a bit old school through the strong rose, more mature than I would have thought of something that has Kendall Jenner in the advertisments, but still young and modern, not vintagey (thankfully imo).
A must have for me. A great rose perfume for people who aren’t into roses that much.
pogrebnyuk – :
i like it but the vynyl ruins it for me. i know its suppose to be the note that makes it “unique’ and “special” but who wants to deliberately make themselves smell like plastic? i guess people who are addicted to plastic surgery like the kardashians. i suppose thats why one of them is the face of this perfume. this could have been so nice if not for the plastic note. whats worst i wouldnt have even tried this perfume but i order perfume lots on Ebay from the same person and they keep including modern muse le rouge gloss in the order! i much prefer modern muse le rouge…yeah it may be “boring” and “generic” but atleast it doesnt cause plastic induced headaches! actually modern muse le rouge is quite lovely.
ev4enko – :
While at the mall today, one bottle at Half price was left and the sales lady said it was being discontinued. It smells very pleasant and to me, the only Modern Muse that I like. I can’t figure what direction Estée Lauder is going in. So, if you like this one, grab it. It will be lovely when winter comes. For those who think it is not for summer, don’t wait to buy it.
кruslan 84 – :
Gorgeous cherry chapstick but in a sophisticated way! Lasted all day on me on a small area of my hand which I have washed numerous times!
Can’t wait to try properly and test it’s sillage.
vitalis – :
I mainly get synthetic raspberries which I suppose is the vinyl and sour cherry. There’s a deepness to it imparted by the rose and leather. A hint of spice from the pepper. There’s vanilla sweetness but it’s not cloying. It is very nice and has good sillage and longevity so far (I’ve had it on for about 5 hours). I really appreciate that it’s different as far as other fragrances go. I would buy it if I didn’t already have Forbidden Euphoria, which I prefer and is in the same family as this scent 🙂
newodow – :
fruit in the top but not cloyingly sweet; LOTS of pink pepper balance it. That note should be voted much higher. It has a slight dry floral offering but really stays in the pepper and fruit with a little of the other spices, vanilla and patch as support but not individually identifiable.

The review I wrote below was written during the first week of June. Today, Estée Lauder was having a 50% sale on Le Rouge Gloss so I sprang for it. I really underestimated its charms. This went from like to love for me today. I can finally smell the vinyl and the cherry, but it still has a rich base keeping it from being another plain fruity-chypre.
With a full amount of sprays (2 to the wrists and neck), the uniqueness of MMlR Gloss shines. Deep, recognizable vinyl and black cherry. Next comes a deep, dark red rose but it is not the star of the show. The rose/suede combo makes it smell like the inside of a luxury bag, with zero powderiness. The vanilla and honey are very quite in the back, just giving the overall feeling of richness without standing out as individuals. Not getting much patchouli.
After several months of testing, I am glad I have this. I dislike all the other Modern Muse perfumes, so if you have bypassed this just because it’s in the MM line, I highly recommend trying it, as it has much more character than the others.
demian17 – :
This Gloss version is far way better than the original le rouge with is the see-through pink glass bottle
because it has some unique smell !
Vinyl !!!
such a intersting and sexy smell
couldn’t describe it in words.
please try it yourself
opalon – :
This isn’t half bad but sad that it is so weak. I definitely get cherry leather and vinyl. Vanilla and rose are very low key on me. I don’t get the honey either. Not too sweet which is nice
Poor longevity and sillage
boxer1994 – :
Sweet, fruity, jammy rose with edgy interest courtesy of the vinyl and leather. The really well-developed base brings depth. A fun and modern make-up scent, much more unique than the original Le Rouge. A quintessential “night out with your ladies in your late 20’s and/or 30’s” scent: outgoing and sexy, yet still refined.
Hanackin – :
This is a fruitchouli with a really fun twist. The fantasy vinyl note is very strong on my skin. This smells like the inside of my purse at various stages of my life when I might have been carrying cherry lip gloss, lipstick, and a makeup compact. I love it!
valera15 – :
This is the only fragrance out of the Modern Muse line that I like enough to own. While I still don’t get an overwhelming “vinyl” accord on my skin (tubereuse reads as vinyl on me, though) MMLR Gloss is still an interesting scent.
Initially, I’m hit with a fruity cocktail, which quickly becomes a spiced fruity cocktail. This spicy fruity hangs around for roughly an hour before morphing into a suede-rose-lipstick. At this point, this is a love for me.
I was gifted MM Le Rouge for my birthday but exchanged it for Poison. Le Rouge smells nice but, in my opinion, it’s boring and linear. MMlR Gloss, however, still smells nice and fun but it keeps the interest up by having different notes come to the forefront. Gloss also does not have that weird woody note that the other Modern Muses have that I don’t like.
All in all, this is a well-done, interesting, modern composition that is worth testing.
*one small note: my daughter tested this and the test site immediately broke out in a rash. I do not have that reaction, though.
urzffoibxyr – :
Le Rouge Gloss is Fun and unique, the first time I saw the bottle and notes I thought of a fifties diner lol red vinyl booths, retro jukeboxes, cherry coke, perky poodle skirted waitresses with shiny red lips and nails. This is a makeup scent for sure, cherry chapstick in a leather purse with a little patchouli thrown in. Unfortunately the silage is whisper soft on my skin but otherwise I really like this, I haven’t really smelled anything quite like it that’s for sure!
UPDATE: I get a TON of honey towards the drydown. I am liking this one more and more!
evgenn82 – :
This is a really beautiful scent! I’ve ordered the 50ml, i wish it could have been the 100ml but i just can’t afford it yet… Beautiful lip glossy perfect composition, it suits my skin so well because the scent and silage and lasting power are fantastic! I see this becoming my signature. Despite the age target being 25-30, i am 21 and find it perfectly wearable, it is honestly beautiful and sophisticated and sultry.
konovalov123 – :
It’s an absolutely beautiful and very unusual scent that stroke me as a huge surprise taking into account I’m not the biggest fan of the original. It develops beautifully on the skin – from cold oriental notes towards the sweetness of cherry and deepness of patchouli. Vinyl notes are quite new to me, hence it was hard to recognize this something “extra” on top. The fragrance astounded me with its complexity, while having a clear signature of Estee Lauder house.
hortorber – :
Modern muse le rouge gloss caused me trouble. I will announce the drydown in case someone is not interested in reading the whole review: spilled on the cold floor plasticky sweet red cherry wine. If you like it, by all means wear it. Excellent lasting power and the best sillage and projection one can ask.
So i was wandering in a local perfume and cosmetics shop and while i was sniffing caps of perfumes, i overheard, and later saw, two women at around 20-30, discussing about Modern Muse le rouge gloss: it’s the best in the line, the sexiest fragrance one of them would have ever put on their skin, youthful and bold; well basically they both loved it. Nothing wrong loving a perfume, but it’s different from judging…
I did sample it on my wrists and sprayed on my neck, as i would with any perfume. There are quite some notes in here that I do like (for the first time the sales lady knew the composition of the perfume, a miracle really!): pink pepper, leather, labdanum, patchouli, honey, saffron, jasmine and rose. Half of the notes right? I should like it. Nope. I can tell them in the perfume, but they are wrongly blended.
Or, maybe, that was exactly the intention they had, for a gloss(?) as a lip gloss? As some sort of shine gloss? Whatever the gloss is, it is CHEMICAL to an unbearable level and disgusting bad.
Opens fresh but turns sweet in no time. Something medicinal and cinnamony which made me hope, but in a matter of seconds it’s rosy, herbal and plasticky, unbashedly chemical. Like it proudly wants to scream: “look at me, I’m glossy and shiny, they made my shininess and glossiness into a juice!”. A herbal patchouli but not prominent, gets lost quickly, a hint of leather, maybe my skin refuses to intensify it, or it does get lost too. Not convinced yet by the development, but at least it’s not gourmandy yet.
Oh my, the horror begins when the perfume turns wine-like and salty. The wine feel intensifies as f*** each half an hour, stronger every time. I needed to wash my hands five times and still I couldn’t scrub it off. After some hours it feels nauseating and heady; It did cause me a headache and sickness, I wanted to vomit–> two signs that indicate to me that I’m dealing with gourmand
My man would refuse to sit next to me. “wash it off! Don’t even come around me wearing it!” Never has he ever had such a reaction to any perfume I have or test. Wtf? it’s supposed to be sexy and bold. Meh, it failed in my case.
Oran – :
Yeah!
Sweet, cherries, whatever sweet note that britny spears fantasy has, but I don’t like fantasy,
It rounds off, I don’t know what leather smells like in lrefume
Oh that might be it
Imagine a sweet smell, then a faint whiff of of new leather shoe on top
.
Don’t ask me what flowers are in there I can’t tell.
Just sprayed so will add more later
EDIT
ok, now, I’m trying Le rouge and Le rouge gloss at the same time
There’s a sugar rose candy with a sliver of leather lassoing it in line.
That sweet thing is still hangin on, like fantasy but not sickly.
Sophisticated interesting candy perhaps…
mvilkov – :
A saleswoman at a shop I visited had such a beautiful floral silage. It was so powerful that it seemed to define her, and it could certainly have made a wonderful “signature fragrance”. It was like a sheer veil around her, rosy and polished, with a hint of spice and depth. In other words, it was the perfume I had been looking for for a long time. I asked her what it was and she said “none of your business”. I’m kidding. She said it was Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss.
I bought a sample online, and although it is just as lovely as I remembered, I must have smelled the fragrance after it had diffused most of its chemicals, because this is a headache in a bottle. I’m JUST over 45, and the copy here says I’m not the target audience, so maybe younger women are less sensitive to its chemicals! If you are chemically sensitive, try before you buy or avoid altogether. If you love the fragrance and do get a headache, you may want to try 2 other gourmand/rose combinations: Rosine’s Rose Praline or Parfumerie Generale Brulure de Rose.
akkord1993 – :
This is so much more interesting than I was expecting! I love those vinyl/leathery notes, and this is what really gives it its appeal. The rose, cherry and patchouli come together and give it a dirty and delightful sort of smokiness.
I kept on seeing commercials and ads all over the place so I figured I’d try it just to see what all the fuss what about. Now that I’ve tried it – I must say – I have no idea what they were thinking with their ad campaign. Kendall Jenner? A red business suit? To me, Modern Muse Le Rouge feels a bit more wild, flirty, and maybe a little more rock ‘n’ roll. I feel like Demi Lovato would’ve been a more suitable frontwoman for a scent like this.
dzinzik – :
Excellent, delicious glossy red perfume. Really good name for it. It’s perfectly apt. Modern absolutely, glossy red cherries, pink pepper and rich red rose. All the notes are very noticeable to me. The patchouli is particularly delicious – light and sweet, a bit dirty, rich and fulsome in its earthy/spicy/intoxicating evocativeness. Sensual. Very sensual the perfume. Very womanly, young, middle or old. Doesn’t matter. Just simply a female of the species. Glamorous, alluring, vivacious, trendy, sensual, sexy, classy, elegant, capable, strong, loving and wise. All things woman.
It’s a splendid perfume. Lasts fantastically well, and carries for ever in the air around. It’s very very lovely.
Pavlik-one – :
“An intense contrast of fruits, flowers, leather and dark woods”, reads the magazine strip from which I’m smelling this. Wow, this is certainly intriguing is my first thought! I love makeup scents and I think @Pepperflower’s review is spot on. Though I’d have to sample this on my skin as to make sure all that vinyl and synthetic notes don’t give me a headache. I love the rose and cherry notes. Reminds me of glossy magazines and perfectly applied makeup mixed with technology. Very modern indeed.
yanis – :
The epitome of “jammy rose.” I don’t get much vinyl. Unique and attention-grabbing scent, nicely done, for the vivacious woman.
c00peR21 – :
I find this *not* to be a fruity floral in the traditional sense. I just got my first full bottle of this, after blowing through two samples at an unprecedented rate. Lemme tell you why…
The opening of this is rather peculiar in that I don’t get much alcohol smell and it seems to settle down almost right away into the heart. What I find so compelling about this is that a) it’s got an identifiable vanilla that I don’t hate because it’s not boozy or overwhelming, and b) it seems to have two layers. I get more of the cherry-vanilla-woods from far away, or from arm/chest length. However, when I sniff it up close, that’s when the vinyl and leather come out. The cherry is not sugary, but any sweetness feels quite organic and cuts the sourness of the cherry a little. It’s a very pleasant, very interesting experience, and I don’t think out of all my sniffing that I’ve encountered something quite like it.
Longevity is in the 4-6 hour range. I find this a perfect winter scent.
A month after I wrote the rest of this,time for an update. This has gone from a love to an all-time favorite. It has the best sillage out of almost anything in my collection, being persistent without being overwhelming. The more I wear it, the more familiar I become with it and can pick out its components. I award this many points for working vanilla, one of my top hated notes, into something I like.

This fragrance is safe, friendly, nice, what else? IMO it does not really stand out from the mass market of floral fruities. The only thing going for it is the bottle presentation. However I find the vinyl note interesting and it does add a certain shall we say depth to the fragrance. Sillage and longevity is moderate.

This perfume is totally cool! I disagree with those who say that it’s just another fruity floral. I find it on the other side: sexy, a bit edgy and provocative. The vinyl and spices add something special to this perfume. This rose is not a romantic rose at all. It is totally sexy and knows what it wants!

Very interesting perfume! Gloss is following the cosmetic/lipstick trend in fragrance that Fredrick Male did beautifully with Lipstick Rose, Mason Margiela with Lipstick On, YSL with Parisienne, Narcisco with Poudree….all of those capture moments in fashion and cosmetics of 20s-80s and now Estee
