DARLING ROUGE

An extraordinary rose perfume that coincided with a love story.

Darling Rouge is a very special emotional olfactive creation of 2022.

"In March 2022, a new wave of inspiration for a rose-centered perfume came to me during a Moulin Rouge show in Paris, while I was admiring the marvellous iconic cabaret costumes adorned with bright red feathers. Spring was in the air, the evenings were still cold, and the show was on. At that time, the idea of a relationship was only starting to emerge, just like a rose waiting for warmer days to open its petals and blossom.

Many sleepless nights in the magic of the creation of this charming perfume, highlighted and lifted by love. The French Centifolia rose and the Turkish Damascena rose converged in a spectacular duo over a romantic and elegant silky sandalwood note of the Darling De Gabor perfume.

Half a year later, in September 2022, following a new Moulin Rouge show, the final version of the Darling Rouge came to my mind in a little garden of the Place Blanche. I miraculously assembled the scent of a deep midnight red rose in front of the red neon signs of the iconic cabaret. This rose was at first almost odourless at night. I called a taxi straight to my Darling’s home. With the morning sunrise, the rose opened its petals and filled the warm air with fascinating facets of love...My vie en rose has finally been found”.

When the art of luxury perfume creation manifests itself...

The harmony and the personality of the luxury perfume and the olfactory message of the fragrance as an artwork are the essential instead of the dominance of the accentuated raw materials. When the art of luxury olfactive creation manifests itself, manifests by this perfume.

A good perfume emphases your image, your lifestyle and lets you connect to the feelings of the present, on your skin you live together. A great perfume is like a great painting, many colours can vibrate but the harmony of the shapes and facettes let you discover the round story and the hidden message. Instead of focusing on the colours or patterns of a painting or instead of trying to catch and identify the listed raw materials of this perfume as an olfactive painting, just surrender ourselves and enjoy the magic of the art, feel the precious moment.
