Diva Rouge

Diva Rouge by Emanuel Ungaro, released in 2023 and listed as feminine, is a sweet fruity floral with a woody base. Gourmand is the accord every wearer names, and about half also find it woody, floral and citrus. It is warm and rounded rather than sharp.

The notes are listed as a group. Bergamot and mandarin orange give a bright citrus opening, with apricot and red currant adding a juicy, slightly tart fruitiness. The heart pairs jasmine and jasmine sambac, creamy and a little heady, with almond blossom bringing a soft, powdery, marzipan-like sweetness. The base of tonka bean, cedar and vetiver is warm and dry: the tonka sweet and vanilla-like, the cedar clean, the vetiver adding an earthy, slightly smoky grip.

The profile suits autumn and spring, daytime and evenings, and it works for the office as well as dinners out. Diva Rouge will appeal to people who like sweet florals with fruit and want a woody finish to keep them grounded.
