  |  Xeryus Rouge is a horribly vile and synthetic fruity scent that is way too sweet for its own good. When I first smelt this (around the time I began to get interested in perfumes) I absolutely hated it. In those days, my nose wasn’t even as sophisticated as it is now. I think that pretty much sums up how awful this stuff really is.27 May 2008 |
 | Upon application of this fragrance you will immediately receive uncontrollable urges to caress yourself all over. Self Encompassing and never-ending shield that destroys any undesirable public odors attempting to penetrate. Only for individuals with absolute intensity. 23 May 2008 |
 | I don't know whether to like this fragrance or not... On one hand it really seems elegant and even refined, on the other hand it's the coldest smell I've ever encountered in a perfume. It's like spraying your refrigerator... That I don't like, I rather enjoy the sweet, warm and balsamic scents that don't give the unpleasant freezing sensation. 11 January 2008 |
 | Very sweet, and amazingly strong. two sprays can almost overdue it with this one. Basically, you can't wear this cologne without getting noticed by everybody close to you. I like to be noticed, but quietly - i gave this bottle to my 16yr. old brother, and he loves it, and gets good results. I wish i could like this fragrance more, because the reactions i've always gotten from women were similar in that they all involved some kind of sexual theme. ladies love it, but use in moderation please - or the whole room will smell you. 22 December 2007 |
 | This fragrance is too sweet, unusual (that would be the cactus and kumquat), almost cloying and powerful. But I must admit I still wear it now and then. It has a come hither quality that I just can't refuse. 18 June 2007 |
 | Very much like the original, but enveloped in warm and sweet, almost too sweet "candied" notes. What the heck happened to the original bottle? A bit shameful from the likes of a couture powerhouse like Givenchy! 16 November 2005 |

| Very sweet and strong. It has a nice smell too it, but it can be overbearing. I think its a good cologne, but its too fruity for some. Fall only, becomes too strong in the summer. 19 October 2005 |
 | Nothing to do with it's big brother, the black bottle. Rouge is like the name implies very red, smells ike red fruit punch with a distinct cactus note. Extremely sweet and with significant power, extremely strong actually, at Joop!ish levels. The drydown is a conventional woody one, but doesn't appear until many hours after application as the fruity sweetness lingers forever. All in all a pretty cool and original release but to cloying at times. 12 September 2005 |
 | It's a rich scent, but as MisterK said a bit too sweet... If you like sweet and classy fragrances, this one is for you. Not for me, though. 17 January 2005 |

| I think this may be a great scent for the younger crowd or perhaps on a date, but day-to-day, I would find this to be a bit too sweet, which is the same problem I have with Desire (Dunhill). In terms of a sweet scent, I prefer Allure or Opium. Thumbs up if you're under 30, neutral if you're over 30. 30 December 2003 |
 | Is it possible for there to be an Oriental/Fougere-Woody fragrance? If so, then in my non-expert opinion, I think Xeryus Rouge is it. When I smelled it on paper in the shop, it seemed clearly like an Oriental. But when I wore it, it seemed far more akin to wearing XS or Black Jeans, both of which I also like a lot. 01 August 2001 |
