What wearers say

“I've had Rouge Malachite for 2 years now, and I can confidently say it was a great purchase. I'll preface this by saying I bought the 100ml for a good price back then (200 EUR). RM is elegant, refined and smooth. It gives me a confidence boost when wearing it. It's a strong scent that lasts all day, with moderate to strong projection. It's funny how it never feels too strong or overwhelming though. I also didn't expect RM to be a crowd pleaser, but surprisingly, many of my colleagues, friends and family complimented me on it.”

“I can't believe I didn't comment on this yet.Right off the bat, this is a love, obviously. It smells luxurious in a way it convinces you it is worth the ridiculous price.Don't wanna repeat everything that's been written here a hundred times. I just need to tell you to take this to a tropical humid country for the full experience. It is going to bloom like crazy, it gets juicy and so much more exotic and sexy. The coconutty note vanishes in the heat and you are left with tuberoses picked by gods. Sad thing - longevity and sillage could be better. (Like Vert Malachite.)”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Gorgeous scent however the longevity isn't there!My bottle is three years old and it does project nicely but not for very long, say 30 minutes before it dies down and becomes a skin scent, this applies to when I apply it on clothing.This also reminds me a lot of Armani Code Cashmere.Such a pity, I wish that the performance was a lot better for the price!!”

Longevity

Moderate to Strong

Sillage

Afaq's top notes are noticeably less complex and aromatic than the original's herbal-citrus opening. The clone also tends to show slightly less longevity and a softer sillage, making it feel more linear and less nuanced than the designer fragrance.

Sillage

Emper's version simplifies the composition with less herbal complexity and substitutes musk for some of the original's nuanced amber accords. Longevity and sillage are typically moderate compared to the designer's more generous projection.

Sillage

The clone may have a slightly sharper spice profile in the top notes and potentially less refined longevity compared to the original. The overall creaminess and depth of the floral heart is comparable, but the designer version tends to have superior sillage and performance longevity.
