This one, while I like it, is my least favorite. I love the peppery sweetness, but that’s about all there is. Dita’s perfumes: all 4, are not complex, but I find her other 3 to be a bit more sexy and sultry. This one while pleasant is not special. The longevity on this one is moderate, similar to the others. This reminds me of VW Anglomania, but just doesn’t get the layers like VW does.
Haushacousa – :
ambery and woody in the top then bergamot, pepper and sweetness with tea; the base is smokey and a dry leather
Manvel55555 – :
Are her fragrances sold in the United States? And if so, where?
ELPOVER – :
I love the warm & peppery smell of this, but the longevity is really poor, at least on my skin.
bmxfan – :
I want to love this fragrance, but on my skin it smells so very medicinal. I’m not sure where I’m getting this quality. Like red, syrupy cough medicine.
The magnolia in this sticks out to me, and I think maybe I don’t get along with magnolia. I don’t get enough of the amber and smoky notes that others do, and I wish I did as they are my favorite. Overall, this was a disappointment to me.
I revisited this fragrance and realized why the magnolia in this rubs me the wrong way – it smells of play-doh. The only thing I smell in the first few hours with Rouge is play-doh. Towards the end of it’s life it begins to open up into something beautiful, but I can’t stand wearing this when it smells dreadful for the initial few hours.
mrmmrm – :
My first impression of this is that it smells nice but it’s incredibly boring. Not seductive, not warm enough for a fall scent (which I purchased it as), not “red”. All I smell is amber, amber, amber. Also reminds me of some baby wipes I used to buy from Giant. Oh well.
edit: Boyfriend couldn’t stop sniffing this on my neck. He said he smelled something like anise to which I replied this frag don’t have that note iirc. I wear this by day since I think it lacks the warmth to be worn at night.
gmax – :
I have a nearly full bottle of this, if anyone in the U.S. is interested in a trade.
hlennn – :
Housed in a ruby glass bottle with a cute velvet bow, this pretty offering from DVT’s perfume range does not have as much impact as the others, but nonetheless it smells nice. I could smell soft spices and amber; so if you like oriental scents, you will like this one.
Regarding the bottle: I love the design of the 30ml size, which is the same for all of Dita’s perfumes. It is so dinky and portable, and rests on its side like a beautiful vintage amulet.
I advise you not to judge any of Dita’s perfumes at first sniff.
Spray inside the perfume box, on your skin or a scarf and wait. One hour at the very least, or overnight if you can bear it.
Particularly in the case of Erotique and Rouge, the wait is worth it.
Then when you return = I told you! For me, even TWO MONTHS after spraying inside the perfume boxes, the scents are still – potently and patiently – resting inside.
Shak – :
Strange. I can´t detect any smoked tea note nor any amber (raw or otherwise). I do smell pink pepper, some wood and a mild magnolia. By no means is this bad, but it´s not at all what I thought when reading the reviews. It got recommended to me as sultry and sexy when I asked for something in the vein of AP´s Maitresse. No one said it would be similar per se, but that it´s sultry and mixes well with skin. Not to me it doesn´t so skin chemistry by all means. To me Dita´s Rogue lacks oumpf and I don´t mean that as in brightness and intensity, but rather in something that keeps me interested. (In Maitresse it´s the yellow ylang and the violet leaf). Maybe if the bergamot in the opening would have been stronger? Or if the magnolia would have been slightly “frothier” (like in L´ Instant)? Now, it just doesn´t do it for me and in all reminds me of something I´d just spray on casually after a shower when I´d just sit around at home or go to the deli. It reminds me of Victoria´s Secret Dream Angels Heavenly- i.e. cozy enough, but bland and unoriginal. Oh, well – I have and adore Dita´s original fragrance.
ildar10 – :
Rouge really is a good name for this scent. Red berries in vanilla and with a hint of something peppery. Maby even Pink pepper. A bit to sweet for me I think but otherwise quite pleasant. The drydown is very close to the skin.
As with Dita von teese I think the bottle is an absolute horror to get open though. I have the small one.
myrren – :
This fragrance smells exactly how I would think Dita would smell…Smoldering elegance with a heavy hit of mystery. I definitely pick up the intense Amnber and Magnolia that dries down to a very warm sweet sort of powdery scent on my skin. Normally, I don’t go for Oriental fragrances, but I really like this one. It’s not one I would wear on a regular basis because sometimes it’s a bit much for my fuity/floral preferences; however, this is a fragrance that would make any man that walks by you look twice and turn around and follow you… It’s dangerous and sexy.
innoriume – :
A true oriental: Warm, deep, spicy. And very elegant.
The scent opens with a lipstick magnolia (a note that’s both floral and smells of old makeup) and dries down to a rich smoky amber. The drydown is actually a dead ringer for Bvlgari Black – probably due to the lapsang souchong note they both have (a black smoked tea). I own and like Bvlgari Black, and I do enjoy a more floral and feminine version of it.
All in all a very nice, rich and somewhat dark oriental with a burlesque feel. Great sillage and longevity. Good job, Dita! 🙂
penah0 – :
So, I start with saying that is a ‘strong’ scent but not too much. Like the amber is very intense in this fragrance so that’s why it is ‘strong’. But it is also floral. Like a nice combination for an elegant & chic fragrance (like all of Dita Von Teese’s fragrances). The bottle is also very elegant & cute with the little red velvet butterfly node! But the problem is that I don’t really like fragrances with a lot of Amber but this one is very nice to smell because of the floral side to it 🙂
Rating : 7.5/10
tsev4 – :
Rouge is most definitely a ‘red’ scent! Spicy and warm but thankfully not too strong. I notice the magnolia, pepper, sandalwood and amber along with assorted other spices. I don’t notice the tea though.
This is a very sexy yet appropriately wearable scent not to be put aside just for evening wear. I do think Rouge it’s better appreciated in autumn and winter though. The beautiful bottle, as with all of Dita’s other scents, is a tactile pleasure and a joy to look at.
beliv2006 – :
I really likte this one. Its have a smoky and spicy smell.
I wear it on evenings or when i visit the pub 🙂
AlesyaPolevaya – :
On me this smells like rubber tires, plastic and oil with a powdery touch… In others words – this did not work out. Sorry Dita.
notebook2011 – :
Lipstick and powder. Old school femininity. Excellent work, Dita!
zehoffa6 – :
Super warm and subtle amber with the undertones of a firepit deep within an autumn forest. I can nearly taste those velvety flames.
mirror58 – :
Subtle & sexy close to the skin Amber .
Just a bit powdery which I like .
Longevity could be better but over all a nice scent for the price .
Befnenlyzoosy – :
I have given it a try a few times before but it was only today that I realized that I actually like this one. It represents quality in the range of celebrity perfumes (mainly because it was not made by Coty), and it is not a teen scent. I used to like Coty perfumes (some of Kylie’s products, Playboy) but now I just smell the same boring, cheap, sugary, uninspiring mess from all of the countless new stuff by Beyonce, Katy Perry, Halle Berry, etc. This one is more unique and well-balanced, therefore I would consider giving money for it.
To me it smells like fruity champagne, warm and intimate, but at the same time very interesting that would make the wearer feel herself special and attractive. The scent itself is deep and classy, but not matrony or old-fashioned at all. I think it kinda represents well the image or Dita Von Teese.
vigreb – :
A delight! My skin really holds onto the orange, which is cradled by a bodacious magnolia with a *poof* of powder hovering over it all. A lighter note (the tea?) huffs and puffs and somehow lifts the whole composition, while amber assists in holding the lot of ’em together.
Simple and sexy without a lot of change from start to finish – good one, Dita!
Фатима – :
Rouge is fairly simIlar to her signature perfume, but I prefer Rouge as the florals are powdered more, which gives the perfume a more timeless yet vintage feel. The longevity is also a bit better [6 – 7 hours].
On first application I can detect the listed bergamot, the mild oranges traces (which fade very quickly on me) and what I think is the pepper. the star here is the long tea accord, which carries all the way through to the base.
I normally dislike perfumes with jasmine as I find it heavy and migraine inducing, but I think there’s some here and it doesn’t bother me. The listed magnolia is powdery and by far the strongest floral note present in Rouge. I also get a brief whiff of what I think is tiare, but the pepper note soon develops and hides all of the other florals.
Rouge soon shifts from a floral perfume to a warm oriental, as the lightly smoked wood notes develop, which mixes nicely with the powdery magnolia and still-lingering tea accord and warms up the reminder of the fragrance.
attisyEsseddy – :
I absolutely adore Dita, her taste in perfume and that she fights for the things she believes in. Her perfume collection is the best example: Offering these unique, quality scents at that price point: My hat’s off to her 🙂 PLUS – finally another “celebrity” perfume I actually think is real – if you know what I mean. I am totally convinced that she loves and wears her own scents. I’m awaiting Erotique and her original scent in the mail and can’t wait to wear them 🙂
Rouge is another gem and facet: powdery, ambery tea heaven. I’ve never smelled Lapsang Souchong tea before but can say that a tea note is very evident, adding a somewhat dry aspect to the perfume. Very classy and perfect for a nice dinner, night at the opera etc. (or whenever one wants to feel classy ;)).
Btw – the powdery aspect reminds me of the Oscar De la Renta Esprit D’Oscar powder note. Maybe that’s helpful 🙂
qjiqzaaxzsa – :
Red velvet perfection
Unique perfume, high class aroma, jewel bottle. I cannot describe this wonderful perfume from Dita. Aromatic oriental with heavy pepper note where lovely woods and magnolia mix altogether and produce this unforgetable smell. Long lasting with a decent sillage. Go for it if you appreciate Boudoir and Boss intense. Looking forward to try Erotique.
yashhenko – :
I find this one very seductive airy oriental,no sharp egies and smouldering scent.It is deep and soft at the same time.I tryed it with some of my perfumes,so can admit here that Bvgary Black and Rouge by Dita VT are perfect couple made together .Love the scent of red liquor melange theese two blends together …Very nice and unusual.Perfect for the colder seazone …
Thank You,Dita,for this nice creation of Perfume.Want to have all scents made by Dita…
gjdfh – :
I was impressed with the originality of this fragrance compared with other celebrity fragrances. It seems dense and plush and I can see how it fits its image well.
Rouge opens with burst of juicy citrus followed by the rather forceful amber and vanilla which take the stage with the magnolia providing the floral backdrop. It dried down to a powdery finish and lasted well on my skin. If you like amber fragrances this is definitely worth a try.
Rouge was a blind buy for me which almost succeeded. There is a dry, smoky note which doesn’t agree with my chemistry. Another website lists additional notes of patchouli, guaiac wood and sandalwood. If they are correct, then I think the stumbling block for me is the guaiac. It’s a shame it’s not listed on the scent pyramid because it’s a red flag note for me.
anton_dp – :
this is the first and only DvT perfume i’ve tried. i just tried it because i really liked the notes and the tea note seemed kind of interesting. it smells kind of classic and it’s a very dry woody and ambery scent on me with bergamot and orange, which are stronger at first but then blend in as it dries down. the amber and smoky powdery incense remain pretty prominent on my skin with the tea as a smoky supporting character.
Sanych1 – :
Shades of Casmir Chopard mixed with Hypnotic Poison eau Sensuelle, with a hint of Deep Red Hugo Boss in the dry down to me. I swear I smell almond in this, and vanilla. Definitely liking the Lapsang Souchon tobacco smoke twist. Sweet, dense and syrupy with a hint of smoke, very much like a burlesque show in an old red velvet decorated club.
Partizan18 – :
I really wanted to like it because I admire Dita’s style and I liked the description but this is too masculine for me. To be honest, I could not stand it after the first time I tried it. I can imagine it on an older woman maybe, but I definitely regret bying it.
Halirrini – :
I ADORE this fragrance. It smells exactly how I was expecting.
AMBER is absolutely the predominant note here. Pink pepper is also detectable at first spray giving you that spicy twist but it quickly disappear in order to let the Lotus flower and Chinese Black Tea making their entrance.
In the dry down phase the strong amber note shares the scene with a hint of woody notes. I can’t properly detect bergamot and orange but I’m sure they are there somewhere in the opening 😉
The 20 ml bottle is just so beautiful. It’s a precious jewel to display in your beauty wardrobe or perfume closet. The glass is thick, the velvet bow cute. The only thing: the “gold” chain and spryer aren’t that shining as displayed in promo pictures. They are more a “grey gold” which looks kind of cheap but it’s ok. This gives a more vintage vibe to the whole experience and I guess that’s exactly what Dita wanted.
Also: I find this perfume really masculine. It could be easily be worn by a man. Don’t be afraid.
FIVE STARS.
latdacis – :
Out of the original Dita and Fleur, this has the wow factor for me. It s hot and sexy and has a smokey passion about it. It reminds me of an old gentleman s club, cigars and leather, very dignified. It is the woman who walks through the room and all heads turn!
Unfortunately, it needs to be frequently re applied as longevity is not great but as with her other fragrances, you can t argue for the price.
Definitely stands out from other celebrity fragrances.
Toxa_2030 – :
Very boring, flat and sinthetic. Nothing interesting.
Despite a nice description here, just one more dissapointment.
For what matters create smells like that?
kyden – :
Nice warm and elegant fragrance just for night or occassions. I like it. Bottle is beautiful.
844209 – :
i love it ! it’s totally sexy and seducing fragrance.
peu154InsuffBooni – :
Wonderful! Love at first sniff 🙂
It’s is warm, velvety, comforting, feminine, and boudoir like. It has that makeup, leather ‘n lipstick smell. It’s like warm pleasantly intense amber, mixed with jasmine and leather. By looking at the notes, I wasn’t sure it was going to be my thing. I am glad I tried it Thanks to reviewers, well described and truthfully praised fragrance.
This is one of the best celebrity scents outthere. Unique and well done! And package is uber cute:)
Thumbs up D von T!
Keep ’em coming! Two great fragrances and I cannot wait to try the newest one!
camoxih – :
Here’s what dita thought about the making of rouge:
“Since teaching a woman proper burlesque can take a good long while, lets make a perfume that allows a woman to invoke her inner Josephine Baker or Gypsy Rose Lee.” (Not a direct quote from DVT, just my interpretation of what she may have thought about for the creation of rouge)
This perfume isn’t trying to be more than it is. It’s simple and sexy without trying to be pensive or overly sophisticated or stuffy. In other words, like a burlesque dancer, rouge allows the shape of its notes to speak for itself, revealing its charms slowly. Lets not try to elevate this perfume to niche ranks where it was never intended to be. Enjoy it on its own merits.
muslim1992nk – :
Divine! I can’t explain what I smell, but reminds me of my childhood, when my parents took me to the theatre and there was something similar in the air … so mysterious!
strider-85 – :
Deep, subtle, elegant with that characteristic Guerlanesqu’e base – powdery-anise, that’s why I noticed L’Heure Bleue’s note in base. Less sprakling that classic Dita but more mysterieus, softer. I feel powder & amber, Rouge reminds me velvety-red curtains, in a little bit oldish style but with no doubts served with a modern twist. Again – very good composition, as far as Dita doesn’t dissapoint. Bravo. On the market is full enough of that fruity-sugar jellies, good for her she knows what she wants, regardless peut-etre of popularity.
However I might point poor sillage, though longevity is very good, scent is lying very close to body, that’s pity because I love more powerful perfumes (and it’s eau de parfum) especially when it’s really good smell.
If you’re looking for elegant, grown-up scent Rouge should be good choice.
apostol908 – :
At first smell this one appears to be an improvement to Dita’s first offering and it seems to have something. However, soon it turns out to be yet another cheapish perfume that pretends to be sexy and glamorous. It reminds a bit of La Prairie’s “Life Threads Ruby”, but without even touching its class. In addition, after a while this kind of rotten undertone develops that some (not necessarily cheap) perfumes have.
One might argue that it may nevertheless be inspiring to wear some vulgar and slutty scent from time to time, and I tend to agree. Perhaps someone is looking for the kind of “cheap perfume” Brian Molko mentions in Placebo’s “Nancy Boy”. But even if you are looking for something like that, you should be aware that this one has this effect for perhaps ten minutes. After that, only a mixture of grocery scents and rotten cosmetics lasts. Thumbs down, what a waster.

I love this! It has a beautiful flowery sweetness with a hint of something darker. I can really smell magnolia here. It’s just so elegant and suitable to wear in many occasions during the day and at night.
EWGEN83 – :
it smells like leather .Very good one ,i love it
energetik – :
This woman just cannot disappoint me. While the first perfume is sharp, and hard not to notice, Rouge makes me feel very comfortable. It’s less smoky and more woody. I guess it’s the tea note that stands out for me and makes it so seductive. Some of you might disagree, but on me it smells a lot like Dior Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle. Again Dita designed a quality perfume that has good sillage and lasting power over 12 hours. I am pleased with the bottle design and the fact that the bigger bottles are also without an atomizer. Atomizers look pretty, but their function is limited.
hileshemi – :
Like the first Dita von Teese perfume, Rouge is also very good in its category. The bottle is even better (I like it, it seems they also try to put some effort into this as well)
As for the perfume itself, for me it’s more powdery than the first one, smells almost like real powder with a hint of freshness; I like it very much.
Edit: after a second try, though it is still nice, I just can’t like the smoky drydown, which comes after the freshness is gone.
Edit 2: some more on-skin test after it was better, the smoky notes did not drowned the powdery ones. Very good one again from Dita Von Teese.
bazel57 – :
When I first laid eyes on the Dita Von Teese bottle for Rouge I knew I had to have it, and it took an ebay seller in Bolivia (no kidding) to get it to me. So how does this non-Dita fan rate the perfume?
The Bottle: I bought the small red flacon. Does it look as good as the picture? It sure does! It’s a nice heavy red glass and the diamond cut looks great. The little velveteen bow is very cute and is real fabric. I absolutely have to give Dita credit for really honing in on the old world glamour. The colour of the bottle and bow are just so vintage I feel like I just accidently opened Betty Page’s purse. Another lovely thing about the bottle is that if you hold it in your hand in the sun the red colour reflects and glows on your skin, which is oddly sexy and mysterious if you ask me. The chain that holds the little clip is not as sturdy as I would like, but everything else is so adorable I’m not going to go to war about it.
The Juice: I bought the first Dita perfume and although I was wild about the bottle I just couldn’t love the fragrance. In fact, I even found it hard to like the fragrance – it reminded me of a barber shop from my childhood. Thankfully, Rouge is a winner! It starts off with a rich floral/incense smell, and settles into a light floral with a sort of “old perfume” undertone. It’s almost a shock to smell a perfume that doesn’t have a fruity/sugar dimension. What I do like is that the perfume really does reflect the bottle and the adverts. I’m getting mighty sick of all these way-out celebs with crazy bottles housing bland fruity/floral concoctions. I still haven’t forgiven Lady Gaga, Nikki Minaj and Nicole Richie. It also lasts well. I put it on at 7:00am this morning and it’s still detectable some 8 hours later. It also changes at various points of the day.
Availability: I’m in Australia and the first Dita perfume is available at Target, but this one is not there yet. Dita’s perfumes always seem to have some sort of random distribution thing going on. Not that I’m worried – I don’t want to smell this on anyone else but me (and maybe Dita).
All in all, I’m very impressed. Just goes to show that some celebrities are interested in creating a fragrance that is true to their image, rather than repeating some marketing department drivel and slapping their name on yet another version of Someday or Fantasy.
HeigneeAminge – :
Fantastically pleasant incense based fresh tea with a hint of oriental notes. That’s what I imagine as vintage scent, and I can also visualise as Dita herself wear this perfume. The drydown reminds me of Oriflame Nomadic her, but in that there is more citrus, and Dita Rouge is much more sexier.
99999999999 – :
This was a blind buy for me, or rather a blind-present I wished for, as I like Dita’s first perfume and both are surprisingly affordable. The 20ml bottle is extremely pretty, again. The shape, the way the deep red reflects the light, beautiful.
The notes listed are straight to the point I find, at least I for once actually smell them the way they are listed.
The opening is orangey, slightly fruity with a good refreshing dash of bergamotte and the most gentle hint of pepper.
However even during the rather fresh opening this scent is just not light. When the magnolia turns it’s volume up after a while, things get more heavily floral, sweet, but not only so, as there is a balancing tea note in there, very slightly dusty and smokey black tea.
The perfume has a definite powdery vibe to me, it could also be the dry woods, that come out the most in the end, amber sweetens up the whole composition and the only floral is a quite noticable clean big magnolia.
Tea, sweetness, powder and dry smokiness, a clean rather heavy flower – to me this scent evokes coziness, it’s warm and cuddly and furry like a clean cashmere pullover.
For grown-ups, mind you, no simple musk+laundry+vanilla cozy powdered floral, there’s more sophistication, and it evokes the same idea but in a different way.
Yet, it’s not all that complex, there are not as many interesting layers unfolding to my nose as I’d dare to hope. For my liking it could be a little bit more full-bodied, a bit more dense, but then it might as well suffocate you in dry, sweet powderiess.
Like Dita’s first perfume, I find it rather easy to wear, with an extra amount of glamour for everyday. I wear the most loud and intense scents for non-special occasions too though, so.. probably most people will find it more suitable for evening and special occasions I suppose.
Longevity is good on skin and paper, sprayed once it has quite strong sillage, so you’re not getting watery juice by any means despite the low price-tag.
Like the original launch Dita von Teese my bottle is produced by Luxess in Germany, so this might explain why both are most early and readily available in Germany and countries close by.
macssekjkzz – :
Rouge starts with its fruity notes and turns after the first few minutes into a really smoky tea-note, so the shown tea plant here might be confusing: Rouge contains notes of lapsang-souchon tea, which hasn`t got a light green-tea note but smells more like incense. Then magnolia shows up and turns the scent into something more flowery, accompanied by hints of warm amber. In my opinion, the “rouge”-theme has been well fulfilled: the scent has something warm, red and seductive. And the flacons are both adorable!
