by Rogue Perfumery
Derviche Rogue is a bold, opulent oriental gourmand with a powerful and inviting opening dominated by sharp bergamot, animalic musk, and indolic jasmine. It evolves into a rich, complex tapestry of vanilla, labdanum, olibanum, saffron, and sweet tobacco, creating a luxurious, sensory-drenched experience that feels both vintage and modern. The fragrance projects with moderate to strong sillage and maintains a long duration, though some users note it loses complexity quickly after the first hour. The sweet vanilla base mellows the aggressive opening, shifting toward a honeyed, boozy, soft amber on the skin. Despite initial sensory challenges—some find the civet or powder notes overwhelming—it reveals layers of depth over time, ultimately settling into a warm, silky, woody-sweet embrace. It stands out as a deeply crafted, intoxicating perfume that captures the art of luxurious oriental perfumery with a dramatic flair.
