   |  The Serge Lutens website sums Rousse up with one word: Racy. I think that's about as fitting as it gets. It's so unique, especially for a Lutens. Rousse starts with a candied cinnamon spice (think Red Hot candies) and pretty much stays that way for quite sometime before fading to a soft, amber/floral base that is linear/minimalist. It's simply a good smelling, well rounded, unobtrusive yet nowhere near boring, predictable or average smelling perfume. Racy and red.10 October 2009 |
  |  A mellow, soft and warm cinnamon scent that is closer to Claude Ellena’s compositions more than any archetypal Serge Lutens offering. If the composition had more twists and turns (as well as a greater presence) I probably would have considered buying a bottle. [Original submission date: 10 April 2008] 27 June 2009 |
 | Culinary spices rule the roost in Rousse. (Say that three times fast!) Serve Rousse up next to the fruitcake that is Arabie, and you’ve got yourself a perfectly nice afternoon tea. The spice rack accord at Rousse’s heart doesn’t excite me, but at least it doesn’t swamp me with fruit syrup, either. In the end, I think Rousse is a very conventional fragrance to have come from Serge Lutens, and that makes it something of a disappointment. 16 June 2009 |
  | On me, the opening of Rousse is like placing a cinnamon stick and a open vintage lipstick from the 1940's in a well-worn, black leather change purse so you can open the purse and sniff. That combination of notes gives Rousse a kind of retro feel that the vintage scents often have, only Rousse isn't as full bodied and complex. In the middle development it goes through a warm, woody, but brief Douce Amere-like faze, before drying down to soft sandalwood and vanilla. It's a nice unisex scent and the sillage is decent, but there are other Lutens/Sheldrake scents that I would rather have a full bottle of. 12 May 2009 |
  |  From start to finish, all I get is cassis (cinnamon bark) and orange. I don't like it.30 January 2009 |
  | I love cinnamon, and maybe thats why I dont have any problem in love Rousse. Very well constructed. Soft but deep, woody and floral. Not too gourmandy, a bit airy and velvety, and very wereable to be a Lutens. Duration is so so... 09 January 2009 |
