I am happy to see Rusé finally listed here. It’s – or I should say it was – a wonder, a beautiful oakmoss, green chypre. I still have a bottle and I use a few drops once in a while.
The opening is bright with citruses and green notes, oakmoss and some sweet flowers at the back.
It’s a slow explosion of flowers making the scent not linear at all with a development taking a full day.
It gets rounder and rounder with the passing of time and with oakmoss becoming prominent.
The iris and orris notes, paired with mimosa, never succeed in becoming powdery but remain very “floral” if I may say so.
I have always found odd that there are no fruity notes but, if so, it would have been closer to Femme while in a certain way it reminds me more of Givenchy III, same class, same green feeling.
It’s obviously a son of his time, a time when green chypre were much more in vogue than today.
VERY BEAUTIFUL
