I’ve got it! For days, I had been trying to nail down what this was reminding me of. A tuberose Dior Addict, that’s what. Tuberose is one of my favorites. I first sampled this close to a year ago. I liked it fine, but was distracted by so many other tuberoses at the time. But I’ve seen the light. This gives Fracas, Marfa, Tuberoza, and Quattro Pizzi some stiff competition for 2nd Place best tuberose. Second only to Carnal Flower. Rouge Malachite is as special as Carnal Flower to me. They’re different enough that it wouldn’t seem redundant to own both. The tuberose I get from Rouge Malachite is more bubblebath than bubblegum. The intertwining of powdery-sweet tuberose & creamy-tropical ylang ylang, together with resinousness benzoin and warm amber, has me so obsessed. I had guessed there was tobacco in this, but it’s not listed. Perhaps that’s a combination of ylang ylang, pink pepper, and benzoin. There’s a soapy powderiness to the dry down that’s sublime. Addictive. This is so masterfully blended. Deep, dramatic, multi-faceted, and ultra smooth. A luscious, romantic, dreamy MASTERPIECE
