40 Rogue

40 Rogue by Rogue Perfumery is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance for women and men. 40 Rogue was launched in 2019. The nose behind this fragrance is Manuel Cross. The fragrance features Aldehydes, Oakmoss, Carnation, Rose, Musk, Basil, Narcissus, Citruses, Tarragon and Fruity Notes. A resurrection of of the original 40 Love by Jean Desprez. Notes include: Citrus, Aldehydes, Fruity Notes, Basil, Tarragon, Carnation, Rose, Narcissus, Oakmoss and Musk. 40 Rogue is a bracing, fresh fougere with light floral notes and an animalic musky drydown. Very easy-going yet suave and sophisticated. Last year I was gifted a very generous and very rare sample of the long discontinued 40 Love by Jean Desprez. I was then determined to resurrect it so others may have the opportunity to experience a great fragrance from yesteryear. I sent a portion of my sample out for analysis and, with the results, set out to reverse engineer the dead formula. I made very very few changes except to repair areas of the formula where there were chemical breakdown products, due to age. I toned down the animalic aspects by almost half – but no worries! The animalic note is still quite present. I also expounded upon the floral notes by adding small amounts of rose and jasmine absolute. I hope this resurrection will transport you back in time. Enjoy! - a note from the brand.
