What do reviewers say about Rouge Hermès and Cinabre?
It doesn't care that minimalist perfumery was winning in 2000. Rouge Hermès arrived bold and never apologized. That vintage powdery character either draws you in or confuses you.Rouge Hermès
Most rose fragrances play it safe. Cinabre doesn't, the pepper opening is a provocation, but what follows is a rose worth the wait: warm, opoponax-laden, and unlike anything that just smells nice.Cinabre
