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. 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.
