Fragrance Notes
Fragrance profile for Rouge 480 Reckless is subtle and refined, designed to linger on the lips without overwhelming the senses. Top notes suggest a warm vanilla aura with a soft cocoa-sweet lift. Heart notes bring a delicate rose bloom and a hint of iris for sophistication. A quiet base of musk, sandalwood, and a touch of almond or tonka bean adds depth and a comforting, skin-like finish. The result is a refined scent that enhances the wearing experience rather than competing with your fragrance.
