A deep amber built on tonka and myrrh, with sandalwood grounding the base. It reads as warm and heavily sweet, resinous and enveloping, projecting well while keeping a soft-edged richness.

Bengale Rouge is openly sweet, in gourmand territory. That is among the highest in the catalogue for sweetness across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
