Crimson Rocks

“This is very similar to Tabac Rouge by Phaedon. Tabac Rouge is considerably cheaper and an excellent alternative with good sillage and longevity.Unfortunately with Crimson Rocks I was hoping for more sweet honey but I just get a lot of tobacco, even though it’s not listed. Must be the combination of cinnamon and woods. As I already have Tabac Rouge, I won’t be buying this.”

“Crimson Rock is a pure perfection for me. It comes off as cranberry jam with honey and a slight hint of smouldering resins. I especially love wearing it in the summer heatwave when CR is just melting on my skin. Its sillage and projection are absolutely stunning. However the first whiff could be a bit harsh. Anyway that’s amazing and thank goodness I don’t have any amber wood in the drydown.”

“Got a tester of this - giving it a 6.5/10. The opening is like spicy baby wipes. You get more of the cinnamon and spices towards the middle (1-2 hours in) then towards the end is a fairly basic vanilla woody type of scent. I don’t hate it, don’t love it either. Not great projection on this, stays pretty close to the skin. Longevity could be better at the retail price point for this. I enjoy Amouage but personally think this is not something I’d spend the money on for a full bottle.”
