Just unbelievable value for money. Longevity and sillage both satisfactory, plenty of scrumptious whiffs throughout the wearing: sandalwood, cassis … pretty much “what it says on the tin”! (going by the notes-list on the box). All that betrays this as a cheapy is that it is a bit ‘plasticky’, as in like a plastic imitation wood or metal (or whatever) item in its overall feel. But a decent plastic imitation whatever article – one that actually does work and do the trick, and doesn’t break in no time.
Actually, sandalwood isn’t listed, either here or on the box. I’m almost certain I got a whiff of it, though. But there’s so much residual perfume in my house … who knows! And it’s probably all aromachemicals anyway – perhaps one of them ‘overlaps’ with sandalwood.

Finally bought from a second hand market. Found a lady with a wonderfull stall there (Huddersfield, UK open market Tues n says), huge selection of new and part used fumes. Many rare and miniature (I’ve put a deposit on Cartier Basier Du Dragon- overjoyed to see that rarity!!)
So this 100ml 95% fume was £4. I’ve started from scratch with home/life, after getting on my feet it was time to start collecting the fume all my old houseb got 7 full size so far and 2 minis. On a tight TIGHT budget so finding a beauty for under a fiver is a RESULT!!!
(Note to self – must update “have” list as 95% of it I no longer own)
The actual scent reminds me a lot of one of my discontinued faves, which is Miss Sixty Rock Muse. Very similar with the autumnal ripe red berry’s, and fruitchouli vibe. OK, no patchouli is listed in Rouge Absolu, but the vibe is there. I cannot distinguish any single floral or spice, it’s extremely smoothly blended and Next have done well. The name and bottle suits the fume PERFECTLY. Warm, sensual, autumnal, fruity, comforting, vibrant are the words that come to mind.
When to wear? it could suit either an chilly late after noon walk with the kids picking berry’s to make home made pies, or an adults date night, black dress and red lips, sipping on a dark and fruity cocktail. These are the images it brings to mind.
Smells quality,bottle has high end feel and look, performs well in silage and longevity.
Red is the “IT” color this season,
What’s not to love.
This is on my A/W heavy rotation shelf, stocking up is needed.
9/10 from me.

If you like Armani Si & Elizabeth Arden always red you’ll love this. It smells the same as both of these & it lasts 12+ hours on me. Well worth a purchase as the 100ml is only £12
