The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes

The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Ruse unfolds as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The signature of Rigaud is evident in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
When the structure is mixed the opening appears as one connected movement with a voluminous floral mood: Floral Notes. In this case 1 note acts as one voice, creating the effect of a living bouquet that feels seamless.
The middle and base stages are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Floral with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Floral and Whiteflower. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Floral.
Overall Ruse holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
