Badar Parfums has made a stunning return with the remarkable duo of Flair Paris perfumers Margaux Le Paih-Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois, teamed together to unveil the brand’s fourth creation, the delicious Rouge Éclat. This exquisite fragrance lives up to its name, glowing in an array red tones that guide us through a sensuous experience filled with magnificent florals and creamy woods and medjool dates enrobed in silk.

Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat opens with a deep fruitiness, reminiscent of candied dates with a rich cherry liquor that feels fresh, bright and instantly gives you that rouge colour of the name. It’s super smooth with deep red with a lovely soft body with just enough weight to make it feel sensual from the get go. Yet has this sort easy breeziness as the citruses sparkle over the dates. Something about its scent makes me think of Christmas, that’s the time of year I consume dates more than usual as I splash on the rather beautiful plump Medjool dates that feel present here. As you wear Rouge Éclat it has an elegant sweeping movement of red silk, long and graceful,  the same way someone with grandeur moves. Iris enhances the silky feel with things getting delicious and creamy as Rouge Éclat unfolds.

Apricot and peach combine with the dates giving Rogue Éclat complex depth and a lighter playful essence. As it dries down, it becomes creamier, transitioning to a milky smoothness that feels thick like a milkshake, imparting a voluptuous sensation to the silkiness of the iris, allowing Rouge Éclat to drape its candied dates and fruits over you like glowing gems. It glides with some subtle soft spices as saffron starts to peak through with a deep rich woody vanilla glinting with ambers giving a darker richness. But that’s for later. Rouge Éclat unfolds at a beautiful slow pace on my skin, its feels as if the dates from the opening have become opened and smoothed out into this delicious weight of dark red silk. It’s creamy and rich with sun flickering and highlighting its folds as it’ adorns your body. Iris takes the for me here, I love how it works with the fruits while setting the stage for the creamy sandalwood and vanilla. Osmanthus when it’s arrived shines. It pulls Rouge Éclat deeper swirling it with a fresher floral yellow plum note with mouthwatering honeyed floral feel. It’s as if the sun has emerged and illuminated t gorgeous red silk. The interplay of the osmanthus and iris is gorgeous, giving me flashbacks to vintage Jean Patou 1000; but rather than herbal greens these sensual florals are wrapped up in a delicious silky contemporary gourmand feel, one that’s addictive.

Margaux Le Paih-Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois have composed this Parfum extrait in a way where materials and notes fade into each other from open to close, then glide over each other dancing and giving Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat a remarkable grace. Notes are foreshadowed with their melodies weaving through the ones that came before enriching and complementing them while subtle expanding the original. A gorgeous honeyed note captures the mouthwatering intensity of the Medjool dates while continuing the silky feel turning it into a glowing red hue. Saffron too picks up on this silkiness and from the osmanthus adding some silver stitching to the silks.

Sandalwood enhances that creaminess felt from the start while giving a skin like feel for the seductive silks to slide across. Ambroxan’s cosy muskiness envelops your body as you wear it enticing others, letting the rest of the notes work their magic in the air around you. Vanilla has been there for a while, adding a rich creaminess that leans more into a deep amber conjuring the darker hues of the dates inner flesh. Rouge Éclat’s gourmand side is beautifully balanced and refined; its sweetness has enough darker elements to make you feel like you’re dining at a high-class Parisian patisserie, while the florals giving it a soft elegance and that iris osmanthus combination is one I can’t get enough of. Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat has knocked Estelle off Badar Parfums’s No.1 spot for me. Utterly beautiful.

Notes: Date, Pink berries extract, Bergamot essence, Red mandarin essence, Grapefruit, Mandora essence, Candied fruits, Osmanthus absolute, Solar note, Milk, Iris, Sandalwood, Amber, Vanilla, Saffron, Honey, Ambroxan

Disclosure: Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat was sent to J for review, thoughts and nose are his own.

    Ever since Badar was flea tired in best of 2024 posts I was very interested in getting my nose on these fragrances. Rouge Eclat sounds so complex and elegant. But the fact that it reminds J of vintage Jean Patou 1000 was what made me write a comment and participate in this giveaway! Cheers from Illinois, US.

  • I really love the notes, spices and fruits combined into a beautiful scent. Also, I’ve never encountered dates in a perfume, so that intrigues me.
    J’s review is just beautiful, describing the stages of notes and how they intertwine. The part I liked the most is “As you wear Rouge Éclat it is giving an elegant sweeping movement of red silk, a long graceful sweep, the same way someone with grandeur moves.” “It’s as if the sun has emerged and illuminated t gorgeous red silk.”

    A gourmand with some fruity and milky touches? Sign me up! I learned about Badar Parfums here at CaFleureBon and each new release seems to be hitting it out of the park. If memory serves me well, Margaux Le Paih-Guérin has composed all of them thus far and I know she has been a very prolific perfumer giving us gems. This sounds like an absolutely stunning, silky dream of a fragrance and I’d love to try it at some point. I’m located in the USA.

  • GoodBookAndTea says:

    Months have passed, but i still try to adjust to niche perfumery, and niche style of reviews on Cafleurebon.
    Margaux Le Paih Guérin , Amélie Bourgeois and J Wearescentient were able to trick my imagination into thinking of Medjool dates, luxury desserts where the sweetness and boldness are perfectly dosed and compounded to alluring stone fruits and vanilla.

    “Margaux Le Paih-Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois have composed this Parfum extrait in a way where materials and notes fade into each other from open to close, then glide over each other dancing and giving Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat a remarkable grace.”
    By all means YES to what J Wearescentient stated , eye-opening and zealous review and one spectacular fragrance like Rouge Éclat
    Warm thanks to Margaux Le Paih Guérin, Amélie Bourgeois , J Wearescentient, Cafleurebon and Badar Parfums.

  • wonderscent.mari says:

    What an intriguing review! I’ve never had the opportunity to try Badar Parfums, so this would be a beautiful beginning of the journey!
    J’s description of Rouge Éclat completely captivated me, this mix of dates, candied fruits, iris, honey, milk, osmanthus and saffron sounds absolutely magical! The way it unfolds with Fruits,Dates with the creaminess of Sandalwood, and the combo of Iris and Osmanthus creates such an alluring vibe. Especially the part that Iris enhances the silky feel with things getting delicious and creamy as Rouge Éclat unfolds. The balance between playful sweetness and grounding depth makes this sound like something truly special, incredibly complex and rich fragrance.
    Thank you for introducing us to this creation and the generous giveaway!

    I love top quality Medjool dates , milk, sandalwood with candied fruits , and from Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat I’m anticipating spectacular fragrance, something I’ve never encountered before.
    J Wearescentient revealed a lot , from the almost mysterious opening with candied dates and cherry liquor , to the exceptional  sandalwood and iris,  and last but not least how Rouge Éclat is wrapped in deep amber veil , Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois made the new Badar Parfums fragrance so addictive and rich , not an easy task I believe.
    Thanks to Margaux Le Paih , Amélie Bourgeois, Badar Parfums , J Wearescentient and best of luck to all participants

  • WARMING_JOY says:

    J Wearescentient article i find captivating for its vivid imagery and evocative descriptions of different kinds . In his own way he intertwined Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat delicious fruity,   floral,  woody and spicy journey with a Parisian pastry , Christmas and elegance . J convinced me that the warm gourmand facets in Rouge Éclat , silky iris and osmantus and the opulent saffron scent are fused together in a truly immersive experience.
    I am from the EU

  • Interesting notes I assumed were more feminine in appeal, so I headed over to Fragrantica and wouldn’t you know it. The census so far is equally split on the scent appealing to men and women. I am know genuinely curious to sample. I’m in the US.

  • Frozen.Eyes says:

    Remarkably enjoyable article , bravo to J Wearescentient
    So smooth deep red feeling,  candied dates and vanilla in addition to plum …. Then throw in that quality iris and  Australian sandalwood and I just know this is heavenly. I need Badar Parfums Sandal Rouge Éclat now lol. Little while back i bought another gourmand from Margaux Le Paih Guérin called Dirty Heaven / BORNTOSTANDOUD , and because J Wearescentient said how the vanilla is adding a rich creaminess that leans into a deep amber in Rouge Éclat,  conjuring the darker hues of the dates inner flesh I feel tempted once again.
    Appreciate the chance – EU

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thanks for the great writeup.
    I really liked reading about the use of osmanthus and iris in this fragrance, as a contrast to the sweeter elements in the fragrance.

    Would love to sample/try this.

    Cheers from WI, USA

  • jennapark says:

    Rouge Eclat sounds elegant and beautiful. I enjoy Estelle it is a sophisticated gourmand scent and my introduction to Badar. The Carmel note is well done. I am interested in Rouge Eclat for a few reasons. The first being the quality of Badar fragrances. They are beautifully blended with great projection. Rouge Eclat sounds unique with different layers, the reviewer talks about the olfactory journey going from date to iris then creamy sandalwood and vanilla. The other reason I’m so intrigued is that J states Rouge Eclat knocked Estelle out of the number 1 scent from the house and Estelle is captivating. I am really excited to try this fragrance. I’m in Pennsylvania USA

  • SabrinaSav says:

    I like the more thoughtful overall experience I just had. I learned about Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat distinct and complex scent , starting cherry liquor and candied dates , peaches and apricots and forward with enticing aromas like saffron , plum and delicious vanilla.
    My personal final flourish is the harmony Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois were able to achieve between between tasty , dark and seductive elements.
    I am a gourmand and elegant fragrances lover and Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat appeals to me greatly
    Thank you very much , EU

  • Vintage_watches_45 says:

    What I just read was not just a refined and detailed read , but some unique stories with guilty cherry liquor and Medjool dates pleasures, refined craftsmanship , milk and sandalwood, but Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois gourmand and flirtatious dreams turned into reality , and I’m loving it.
    What I enjoyed overall are the two tones of the “Glowing Red Silk” giveaway , the older reads with Margaux Le Paih Guérin life and career retrospectives , and J Wearescentient introduction to Rouge Éclat , both grabbed my attention right away .
    I love good and sophisticated strong gourmands , finest quality iris and sandalwood , all i can find in Rouge Éclat i also love happy , dedicated and not overly pretentious people like Margaux Le Paih Guérin , the whole experience of the two articles is like a medley of both. I enjoyed the way the two perfumer made one unbelievable aroma in a unique , yet so cozy and daring at the same time way
    EU
    Thank you so much

  • your.solar.engeneer says:

    I feel like Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat is so sophisticated, perfectly suited fragrance for formal occasions but because of the dark and sweet tempting trail also for clubbing, maybe even dates. I have a feeling Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois had a plan to make a complex fruity-floral dark and a bit daring gourmand fragrance , and result could be seen through every single aspect of the J Wearescentient review.
    Not sorely because I feel attracted to the Medjool dates , all the fruits, and sandalwood I actually enjoy the whole thing, the iris , saffron and that rouge color sexy wink .
    I had a great time, thank you

  • The vivid imagery of Rouge Éclat’s silky, gourmand blend of candied dates, iris, osmanthus, and creamy sandalwood, evoking a luxurious red silk experience, captivates me. The interplay of sweet fruits, elegant florals, and rich amber sounds addictive and sophisticated. I live in Poland, EU.

  • All the fruits I love Apricots,peaches and medjool dates yum.. sensual florals,creamy sandalwood, cozy amberoxan, truly sounds utterly beautiful.
    USA

  • The candied fruits and milkshake-thick creaminess sounds delightful. The description of the “voluptuous” silkiness of this fragrance makes me want to try it it! I am in USA.

  • hide_and_seek says:

    Rouge Éclat sounds great, I’m fascinated by the love affair between the delicious vanilla , deep rich fruitiness and Medjool dates from one angle, the sensual iris , sandalwood and milk ot the second angle, and the more daring saffron on another.
    J Wearescentient pointed out that the everything is blended really well leading to a brilliant woody , fruity and floral delicious cloud , there’s a theory that opposites attract and Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois work is the evidence.
    The intricate layering of palatable and edgy , spicy and floral notes , plus the beautiful melody with red silk rhythm narrative do make Rouge Éclat sound enchanting and multifaceted.
    Thanks a lot EU

  • I’m glad Badar Parfums owners didn’t miss their chances to work with Flair , so we can enjoy spectacular fragrances like Rouge Éclat.
    Margaux Le Paih Guérin character and everything she went through all is pointing out to her noble and full of energy way of doing things.
    I’m hardly ever super impressed by a fruity and floral ambers , but a scent of Australian sandalwood, glamorous Medjool dates, vanilla with iris a freshly baked Parisian dessert spin description of Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat grabbed my attention right away.
    I’m new to Margaux Le Paih Guérin fragrances, thanks for interview with Michelyn Camen, and J Wearescentient reviews of Rouge Éclat, Sandal Rice, Sinaï and Estelle. Thanks for the giveaway as well.
    From EU

  • I decided to share my takeaway about Margaux Le Paih Guérin life cycles first from Michelyn’s interview first, since it’s important to me

    “Every day, I am in contact with inspiring and stimulating people. I am trusted, which makes me even more motivated to give my all for my company. This sense of accomplishment drives me to push my limits and strive for excellence in everything I do. Being surrounded by such a positive and supportive environment has transformed my professional and personal growth.”

    And from the current article with J

    “As you wear Rouge Éclat it is giving an elegant sweeping movement of red silk, a long graceful sweep, the same way someone with grandeur moves”
    I’m currently preparing for my 8 for the year craft exhibition in Madrid , and as artisan myself, I’m a leather arts craft woman i can’t even describe how overjoyed I felt today after reading once again about Margaux Le Paih Guérin life cycles. Crafting always brings joy to the artist no questions asked. We share a lot of common objectives and principles, Margaux Le Paih Guérin and I .
    Of course other than the previous articles i also enjoyed J Wearescentient experiences with Rouge Éclat , a bit dark but comforting gourmand , directly influenced by the Medjool dates and Parisian high-class patisserie nature. Not just the great smelling aroma with candied fruits and vanilla , there’s also sandalwood and different floral temptations , it’s almost like Rouge Éclat is part of a fantasy story.
    Much appreciated, EU

  • Logic.vs.Emotion says:

    Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat captivated my interest. With the assistance of J Wearescentient i can tell the use of Medjool dates , osmantus and iris here is expertly applied by Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois, giving Rouge Éclat a few fruity and floral edges. I’m keen on the sandalwood and saffron too and the way they all give Rouge Éclat a richness J can’t get enough of.
    I’m down with the idea of such smooth and alluring fragrances . I acknowledge J Wearescentient fine work and I’d like to say I’m thankful for the chance. EU

  • teatreesoil says:

    dates are not a note i see often… although i can imagine how it plays nice with apricots/peaches. all are technically stone fruits after all! the notes list does sound a bit chaotic, but j’s review reassures me that there is method to the madness, so to speak. perfumes that have a scent journey (aka that aren’t linear) are so much fun and rouge eclat definitely sounds worth sampling for that alone, at the very least!

    thanks from the USA

  • fresh_and_clean says:

    Howdies from Germany
    I’m very much picky in terms of woody and gourmand fragrances , and especially those that combine the two genres.
    J Wearescentient assessment of Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat brought me back to my childhood when grandma used to bake different plum and dates pastries a couple of times per week , and me and grandpa were making tea , great times I miss a lot.
    I became instantly attracted to the comforting gourmand smell of Rouge Éclat together with carefully selected by Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois other deeper and darker shades like the saffron and sandalwood . I really like the dance between delicious and daring.
    When I buy new niche fragrance the quality should be outstanding, and the with certain level of uniqueness , I’m definitely impressed.
    Sum total i love the whole J Wearescentient read , and I’d also love to win a bottle of Rouge Éclat
    Thank you

  • Simple.life.ar says:

    Not sure how you’re doing it, but you keep releasing pristine quality articles one after another.
    Margaux Le Paih Guérin at it once again , she’s on a roll , as well as all of her colleagues from FLAIR. After reading up on her background in the Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief interview, and how the young draws inspiration from daily life , willing to take ambitious projects and how she feels fulfilled at FLAIR i believe promising days lie ahead of her.
    I’m aware of Margaux Le Paih Guérin because of fragrances she made for a brand by the name of BORNTOSTANDOUD, and now thanks to your blog and J Wearescentient I’m enthusiastic about Rouge Éclat and Badar Parfums as a whole.
    The new fragrance co-created with Amélie Bourgeois is woody and sweet bouquet done right. I’ve always been favorable to iris , sandalwood and plum , although never experienced Medjool dates as a note , but here It gives the gourmand a beautiful new spin , nice work . From EU
    Thanks a bunch

  • Wow what a write up! This one sounds absolutely lush. This part especially grabbed me though. “Osmanthus when it’s arrived shines. It pulls Rouge Éclat deeper swirling it with a fresher floral yellow plum note with mouthwatering honeyed floral feel.” I looove Osmanthus when it’s a changling like that. This fragrance sounds divine. I’m in the USA, thank you for the generous giveaway.

  • Captivating reads , no mistake I even read the latest one by J Wearescentient twice in a row , no joke.
    I can’t help but to be impressed how Margaux Le Paih Guérin was able to achieve so much by his rather young age. She’s eager to acquire knowledge and to improve, to become better and better. I can easily tell she loves her work and her hobbies, all those drama free habits are the compound interests of self-improvement.
    I’m exposed to niche perfumery but not yet to Badar Parfums , and i can’t help but to be impressed how the owners of the brand gave Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois a platform to create a very special gourmand fragrance with frangipani, iris , honey , milk , plums , cherry liquor , sandalwood and different hints of darkness.
    Other than wanting to win the contemporary high-end Badar Parfums fragrance called Rouge Éclat , I’d also love to visit Flair lab in Paris, sounds like fun
    EU , thank you very much

  • What a lovely review! I’ve never tried anything from Badar Parfums before, so this would be a wonderful way to start the journey.
    J’s description of Rouge Éclat really drew me in the mix of dates, candied fruits, iris, honey, milk, osmanthus, and saffron sounds magical! I love how it seems to open with fruity notes and dates, then turns creamy with sandalwood. The blend of iris and osmanthus adds a soft, silky touch.It sounds like a fragrance that’s both sweet and deep at the same time rich, playful, and full of character.

    Thank you for sharing this and for the generous giveaway!
    I’m based in the EU.

  • Based on the review and other successful entries, here’s a compelling reply for the giveaway:

    What absolutely captivates me about Rouge Éclat is J’s description of how it unfolds like “an elegant sweeping movement of red silk” – that imagery is so evocative and luxurious. The combination of Medjool dates with iris and osmanthus sounds incredibly unique; I’ve never encountered dates as a perfume note before, and the way J describes how they become “opened and smoothed out into this delicious weight of dark red silk” makes it sound almost edible yet sophisticated.

    The fact that Margaux Le Paih-Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois created something that knocked Estelle off the #1 spot really intrigues me – that’s quite an achievement given how beloved Estelle seems to be. I’m particularly drawn to the gourmand aspects balanced with those elegant florals, especially the iris-osmanthus combination that reminds J of vintage Jean Patou 1000. The progression from candied fruits to creamy sandalwood and vanilla, with that “milkshake thickness” sounds absolutely divine.

    As someone who appreciates complex fragrances that tell a story on the skin, Rouge Éclat sounds like it would be a perfect addition to my collection. The way it seems to balance playful sweetness with sophisticated depth, like “dining at a high-class Parisian patisserie,” is exactly what I look for in a signature scent.

  • Happy_Coco says:

    The magnitude of Margaux Le Paih Guérin potential is massive , It’s also remarkable that she found the work-life balance. To Flair perfumer the solution is based on ambition , creative approach , love for perfumes and then relax by designing clothing , drawing and working with other artists. Amélie Bourgeois is a famous perfumer i know for many years.
    Considering how knowledgeable J Wearescentient is is , I’m surprised by his enthusiasm for Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat , thrilled as he ever been to say the least. There are so many good fruity , floral and woody fragrances on the market right now, but creating not just good but also unique fragrance featuring all the genres is something major.I’d like to share my favorite part of the thoughtful read

    “Vanilla has been there for a while, adding a rich creaminess that leans more into a deep amber conjuring the darker hues of the dates inner flesh.”
    Love, love and love again. It’s remarkable that both Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois are thinking outside of the box , and with Rouge Éclat they found the balance between wearability and originality.
    Like everything in real life some components of Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat are gentle like the iris and osmantus, some delicious like the candied dates and other fruits, and vanilla and others serene like the sandalwood and the milk , the balance between smooth and that Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois created is what I’m looking for the most. Even J Wearescentient is as thrilled as he ever been thinking about the dark red silk rhythm of the fragrance.
    From EU. Many thanks

  • Autobiographical reads are of my favorites , like the older one with Margaux Le Paih Guérin, just as vivid and full of positive energy as the current one by J Wearescentient. The young lady is built differently, i work with bright young people who are in his age bracket, and I can say it’s so uncommon for such accomplished individual to have modest personality. I think Margaux Le Paih Guérin genuinely looks to craft soul rewarding experiences not only for the buyers , but for herself too.
    J Wearescentient read is so delicious, like a mental getaway to the best patisserie in Paris , creamy powdery dried fruits dessert with saffron , cherry liquor and a gentle sandalwood and iris accords . What a journey i had with the help of J Wearescentient and a bite of deliciousness.
    I bet Rouge Éclat would surprise me greatly , soulful fragrance i believe , I’m hooked
    Thank you for the whole experience

    I like how Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat glows with the brightness of the future. Amélie Bourgeois and Margaux Le Paih Guérin made fragrance is letting its plummy, honeyed fun side shine bright with soft iris a d dark amber facets that thicken up the feel of the fragrance, sandalwood is adding woody undertones to this elegant creation . As J said, Rouge Éclat gourmand side is balanced and refined, it’s sweetness has enough darker elements to make you feel like you’re dining at a high-end Parisian patisserie, while florals giving it a soft elegance, Love that! EU

  • Phillip_Barkley says:

    I can say, with confidence that every fragrance lover needs to try Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois fragrances, and particularly Badar Parfums , unique and alluring creations , long lasting on top of that.
    I no longer live in Paris but I still visit once a month and I always try to find some time to visit and try something new , Jovoy is where I discovered Sora Dora and was told about Ms Le Paih-Guérin first , Badar Parfums on the other hand I discovered at Odorare Parfumerie , charming boutique in Villepinte , Saint-Saint-Denis a superb of Paris , the place I bought Badar Parfums Estelle.
    I like J Wearescentient detailed explanations about the balance between the different gourmand elements , the floral , and the more darker and savory ones in Rouge Éclat .
    It’s excellent to know there are such fragrances produced, with spicy richness , Medjool dates , cherries , and soft floral-woody haze that flows all day , Rouge Éclat checks all the boxes.
    Estelle i own and I’ll be happy to win the latest Badar Parfums release

  • A red perfume, The Red Spark runs through this entire sensual scent: candied dates, cherry liqueur, pink berries, red mandarin, even the texture of red silk. This amazing oriental gourmand floral fragrance, by the hands of Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amelie Bourgeois -who have composed the entire Badar collection until now-, opens in a Mediterranean way: citruses over dates and then shows its creamy side with iris, peach and apricot osmanthus. Creamy, now we are in a French pastry, which leads to the end with vanilla and sandalwood for a soft and elegant finish. I live in Spain, USA.

  • I haven’t yet tried any fragrances from Badar Parfums. However, Sinaï and Rouge Éclat sound appealing to me. I liked the description of the Honey note. Thank you for another awesome review and draw. MI USA

  • This review reads like poetry Rouge Éclat sounds absolutely stunning, and the imagery of glowing red silk really brings the scent to life. I love exploring indie and niche perfumes like this. For anyone who’s just getting into fragrance or wants to understand the different types and notes better, I found this helpful resource from FragranceShop.ph that breaks it down in a simple way. Thanks again for the inspiring write-up!

  • I was interested as soon as I saw dates mentioned. Then you add cherries, Iris, saffron, vanilla, and sandalwood? Now I’m quite interested. I always need to be smelling delicious and that’s what I believe will happen if I wear this fragrance. I’m in the USA.

  • Rouge Éclat sounds quite delightful and I’m surprised since somehow I never thought of dates and perfume in the same line 🙂 Reading that the house was Michelyn’s best find for 2024 sparks my interest even more. I’m in USA

  • I love the way this reviews using red silk and how it drapes and flows to help evoke the essence of the fragrance. I’m curious to smell how the apricot and peach interact with the dates.

  • Regis Monkton says:

    I appreciate discovering Badar Parfums, and I’d like to win this fragrance which is made by two perfumers who seem to be exclusively niche perfumers. J’s description of Rouge Eclat was helpful. I like to hear: that it has a honeyed date aspect to it, that it combines saffron with osmanthus, and that it reminds J of vintage Jean Patou 1000. I live in the USA.

  • carrie_earle says:

    I’ve yet to try a Badar fragrance. J’s review definitely makes me want to sample this silky, sweet, woody, and fruity concoction that sounds divine. I live in the US.

  • The smooth, rich date accord Rouge Éclat features in the opening sounds very comforting in cool weather. The progression goes in a direction I wouldn’t expect, taking on a creamy texture, and the use of iris and osmanthus here sounds expertly applied. This will be a killer date-night fragrance.

    I’m in the USA.

  • relax_your_mind says:

    The right way to start with Margaux Le Paih Guérin life story from the older interview with Michelyn Camen, and then go to the present time with J Wearescentient review of Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat. 
    Apparently Margaux Le Paih Guérin was a bright mind at young age with interest perfumes , art and creativity , soaking all kinds of knowledge in her mother’s perfume shop. It’s clear that her mother taught her well , and he developed passion for craftsmanship and beauty together.From her young age , to her internships and now in FLAIR Margaux Le Paih Guérin goals are still the same , triggering past and forging future artistic memories. By her words alone I can tell in FLAIR she found not just a great colleagues , but kindred spirits.
    Apparently Margaux Le Paih Guérin , Amélie Bourgeois and J Wearescentient all have a soft spot for art and creativity .
    Rouge Éclat is an elegant gourmand , where not just the vanilla and Medjool dates are present, but the citruses in the opening, the iris and the sandalwood are easy to detect too , on the flip side because of the dark richness of the amber also possesses bolder personality. Special fragrance i’d cherish if I win.
    I have no previous experience with Badar Parfums fragrances
    Million thanks EU

  • Just by reading the article I visualized the exact same moment when J Wearescentient sprayed Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat on skin for the first time , I can almost see the delightfulness in his eyes .
    Personally I’ve never smelled rice fragrance with Medjool dates accord , citruses, milk iris , honey and beautiful sandalwood , kudos to Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois for the idea. What differentiates them from a lot of other even accomplished perfumers is that the two are focusing on the whole package, and not just on one or two aspects.
    I like all kinds of gourmands , but especially the more discreet and not overly aggressive that smell like a delicious dessert made by renowned French pastry chef with a dark red hues too , I’m so excited about Rouge Éclat.
    I also like how J included extra information about the interplay of iris and osmanthus. Rouge Éclat is so succulent in a grown up manner.EU
    Thank you for the effort

    In my steadily growing fragrance collection there is already one Margaux Le Paih Guérin fragrance i bought because of Cafleurebon – Sora Dora RED , and I’m very much looking forward of trying Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat.
    Even though J Wearescentient spoke of all the different gourmand aspects of Rouge Éclat like the vanilla, dates and candied fruits , the woody facets of sandalwood, the darkness of the amber and the iris do make the fragrance very different in comparison to everything I’ve smelled before. I love clubbing and Rouge Éclat is just perfect for the times i’m going to more high end parties , like a beautiful R’n’b song the DJ is playing at midnight . I know I’d enjoy Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois fragrance very much.
    EU Thank you

  • Painting_and_basketball says:

    As usual there’s no basic information with Cafleurebon , J Wearescentient review is multidimensional as well .
    I wish I had a childhood and teen years like Margaux LE PAIH GUÉRIN , relatives to teach me about fragrances , art and crafts. Yes I read the interview with Michelyn Camen once again. I’m impressed not only with her work in perfumery , but the craftspeople involved in her every day activities, how happy she is in FLAIR and how she loves painting and drawing like me .
    I know niche fragrances and with the brutal competitiveness on the market i need something big to really grab my attention, and Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat high quality raw materials, mouthwatering French chef made dessert connections, osmanthus and sandalwood aroma melding with the honey did the trick for me.
    Through Rouge Éclat I can book a flight to France and buying some high end Medjool dates dessert with milk , whiteout actually being there. You can’t beat that
    Cheers EU

  • Stefi_Sofi says:

    All fragrances can tell a story, some are passionate, some are sad and other do have a happy ending . I think in Badar Parfums Sandal Rice there’s not sad parts , and everything is leading to good and delicious memories , smiles and a tad seductive wink coming from the dark amber , vanilla and Medjool dates. J Wearescentient even said the aroma has a complex depth with a playful essence.
    I have a keen interest in Rouge Éclat because of J cosmopolitan personality , and how delicious the fragrance is . I find the blend unique because the the Medjool dates and iris , but also how it’s both mouthwatering and sexy. The creamy sandalwood and milk are more than welcomed too
    Thank you kindly EU

  • Rouge Eclat sounds sumptuous with its emphasis on rich candied fruits and liquor with light spice, woods and an ambery vanilla. The osmanthus seems to add to the fruit with its floral honeyed plum note. This is an elegant perfume that calls for a celebration. MD,USA

  • ElenaChiss says:

    I really liked the entire review, but the last paragraph is the cherry on top! Enjoyed very much this part and I feel like it is something I would love testing myself: Rouge Éclat’s gourmand side is beautifully balanced and refined; its sweetness has enough darker elements to make you feel like you’re dining at a high-class Parisian patisserie, while the florals giving it a soft elegance and that iris osmanthus combination is one I can’t get enough of.
    Thank you! EU

  • Muravei42 says:

    I believe it’s easy to say J Wearescentient enjoyed exploring Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat way more than usual.
    The idea of adding Medjool dates to iris , and then again to vanilla and woody base with a kink of darkness running through the composition only comes to show the creative part of Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie characters.
    Powerful and novelty fragrance with lots of twists , starting with candied dates and fresh cherry liquor , then turns woody , floral and even sexy , no wonder J Wearescentient thinks Sandal Rice is smooth and alluring.

    Thank you for the generosity

  • My_Life_My_Terms says:

    EU
    I enjoy greatly J Wearescentient positivity, dedication , tenderness for art in perfumery , and the approach towards every single Cafleurebon article he worked on . I wish I was there with him when he sprayed Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat as well as Sandal Rice , Sinaï and Estelle on skin for the first time , just to see his facial expression. It’s safe to say he enjoys them all , Rouge Éclat must be a great one since he said it’s his current Badar Parfums No. 1 fragrance.
    Everything in the new fragrance from Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois is on its own place, the cherry liquor and plum , the dates , the gentle floral haze , honey and of course the sandalwood. J said Sandal Rice smell like a delicate French pastry , really yummy while the florals is giving it a soft elegance.
    I’m ready for exquisite pastry degustation with dates , cherry liquor and iris , I’m ready for Rouge Éclat.
    Thanks a million

  • JustAHumbleDJ says:

    Great review! I love the way J compared this beautiful fragrance to Christmas, high-class Parisian patisserie , strong deep amber and cherry liquor , true juxtaposition of classic and modern. I really love a good amber note and this sounds so interesting, mixing current and past. The notes also sound wonderful!
    Since we were advised to, I decided to read the interview with perfumer Margaux Le Paih Guérin and I enjoyed greatly her life stages, from her mother’s perfume shop to different internships , and the nurturing environment at Flair where she feels comfortable.
    Thank you Cafleurebon for the draw, from EU

  • chess_is_fun says:

    Hello Cafleurebon
    I really like how J Wearescentient is moving all the pieces with ease on the chessboard , I learned a lot today since I revisit the older articles as recommended.
    In the Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat perfumers Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois are the two the most powerful piece in the chess game , moving any numbers of squares horizontally, vertically and diagonally.
    The way the Flair ladies are winnings games one after another is by creating well received successful fragrances . I really like how the Flair perfumers are not really bothered by what other perfumers are doing, igniting the interest of fragrance enthusiasts worldwide by their own style and methods , with Rouge Éclat adding red satin feel , iris and Medjool dates to the traditional gourmand game . The other important pieces on the board to me are the sandalwood, , vanilla and saffron .
    Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois made Rouge Éclat so addictive , absolutely I’d like to win a bottle
    I’m based in EU , thanks

  • The_Funny_Gentleman says:

    I love how Badar Parfums Sandal Rice seems to invoke an earlier era of perfumery, with nods to elegance , iris and red silk , yet Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois also added 2025 trendy delicious nuances of candied fruits , bourbon vanilla , osmanthus and ambroxan. Thanks to J Wearescentient I feel scented now with a smooth fruity-floral gourmand focused on the rich sweetness, woods , iris and darker amber. Many thanks for the chance

    Thanks for the wonderful write-up ! I really liked reading once again about all the different experiences J Wearescentient had with Badar Parfums Sandal Rice , Sinaï , Estelle , and the interview with Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief. 
    There’s a little bit of everything in Rouge Éclat , stark contrasts, big cup of candied dates and other fruits, sandalwood , iris , vanilla and smoothness, Margaux Le Paih Guérin is a newcomers destined for greatness and Amélie Bourgeois already established successfull perfumer . Rouge Éclat is is not just delicious but also thrilling , vibrant and mysterious all at once .Thank you

  • Tivoli_Bam says:

    I’m very picky about brands and fragrances I’m wearing, especially gourmands and Badar Parfums as a brand is on my radar after all the praises Estelle received from Cafleurebon and Instagram last year .
    Thanks to J mostly I bought Estelle, and now i’m aware they just released another gem called Rouge Éclat.
    Margaux Le Paih GUERIN is a future star in perfumery , other than Estelle she’s is the author of another fragrance i love – BORNTOSTANDOUD Happy Nuts. Amélie Bourgeois needs no introduction BDK , Jovoy, Sora Dora …
    I was not expecting the two would create a dense gourmand with Medjool dates accord , Australian sandalwood , stone fruits, saffron and rich dark amber , Rouge Éclat is a contemporary gourmand, and I’m particularly interested in flowing of the cosy iris aura the fragrance .
    Thanks a bunch

  • Admirations for people like J Wearescentient who have high standards, and not just looking for nice smelling , but also for for creative and sophisticated fragrances
    《 Vanilla has been there for a while, adding a rich creaminess that leans more into a deep amber conjuring the darker hues of the dates inner flesh. Rouge Éclat’s gourmand side is beautifully balanced and refined; its sweetness has enough darker elements to make you feel like you’re dining at a high-class Parisian patisserie, while the florals giving it a soft elegance and that iris osmanthus combination is one I can’t get enough of.》
    Reading the essay made me think of how unique of a gourmand Rouge Éclat must be if J Wearescentient can’t get enough of it.
    Keeping in mind the zealous examination of the latest Badar Parfums by J i know Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois did a splendid work. Vivid atmosphere of plum and cherry liquor, milk , woods , vanilla and sandalwood stepping on foundation of depth and complexity, Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat is elaborate fragrance i’d really like to win.
    Thank you kindly, from EU

  • photo_perfection says:

    I firmly believe Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat is trend setting fragrance with a lot of contrasts, from fruity to woody , delicious and floral , comfortable and seductive.
    Michelyn Camen called Margaux Le Paih Guérin a rising star late last year , she already achieved so much at her young age. She and J Wearescentient share affection for art , craftsmanship one of the reasons Rouge Éclat worked like a charm for J.
    J work with the latest Badar Parfums release is like invading the senses poetic invitation. Christmas , Medjool dates , delicious vanilla and powdery cloudy iris haze , Rouge Éclat is piece of art elegant fragrance
    Thank you for the draw EU

  • You had me at Osmanthus ! But in reality I find it so interesting how scent profiles actually do give us feelings of colors and seasons such as Christmas. In maryland.

  • Cotton_touch says:

    Hey there
    Is it just me or FLAIR studio made fragrances are not just exquisite , but they keep releasing hits one after another. Margaux Le Paih Guérin is an upcoming perfumer but already signed a lot of successful releases , two of which she also made for Badar Parfums . I’m taking about Estelle and Sandal Rice of course. Undoubtedly the best is still to come for all the happy Flair team members , not just Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois.
    Stark contrasts and a little bit of everything of what I like I’d describe in short Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat. The unique merging of alluring vanilla, dark amber density , sandalwood , osmanthus and freshly baked dessert from a high-end Parisian patisserie are the most appealing sides of Rouge Éclat . I’m expecting a delicious woody , fruity and floral haze that came as a result of the merging.
    I had a terrific time reading J Wearescentient article
    Thanks

  • I love how Badar Parfums are progressively bringing extraordinary hits created by Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois . Their success is not a surprise to anyone who knows BDK Rouge Smoking Extrait, Badar Parfums Estelle, Sora Dora Jany , Noème Parfums Soma and the latest exquisite floral and fruity gourmand pleasure called Rouge Éclat.
    Badar Parfums , Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois future is bright, Rouge Éclat is gourmand they created together and I’m intrigued.
    Even J Wearescentient was caught off guard by the novelty smell.The gentle fruity-woody and gourmand appeal , together with the iris combination comes as a gentle reminder of how there are still brands like Badar Parfums and perfumers like Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois who still posses imagination, and value inventiveness.

  • I absolutely love Cafleurebon and J Wearescentient articles , once again the information made me wonder, and think for a while

    Margaux Le Paih-Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois have composed this Parfum extrait in a way where materials and notes fade into each other from open to close, then glide over each other dancing and giving Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat a remarkable grace.
    – J Wearescentient

    My enthusiasm is contagious, and it’s reflected in the energy of our team. Together, we are achieving great things, and I couldn’t be happier.
    – Margaux Le Paih Guérin

    Since I enjoyed everything I read I’m not sure where should even start with. Should I start with Michelyn Camen interview where Margaux Le Paih Guérin spoke of her affection for art and beauty , J passion for creative fragrances , or the unique contrast between the dark amber and woody haze with the iris and osmantus , or maybe the importance of the vanilla and sandalwood? All are equally as important for the forming of Sandal Rice identity .
    Thanks to J I know the new Badar Parfums fragrance is just great , showing up the true elegance of niche perfumery .

  • I read everything once again as suggested,  I greatly appreciate your work, your time and effort  
    Margaux Le Paih Guérin life diary really paints a picture of her intricate character . What really grabbed me in was her extensive journey , all she went through and her state of felicity at FLAIR. 
    I’m keen on the whole Badar Parfums package and J’s descriptions of not only Rouge Éclat but Sandal Rice, Sinaï and Estelle as well. It’s time for me to order a sample kit. 
    Milkiness, candied dates , delicious floral and woody sensuality , feel of smooth happiness , and depending on J Wearescentient ecstatic experience with the fragrance I’m aware Badar Parfums Rouge  Éclat is a very special delicious fragrance with lots of depth, and unique character based on high-class French patisserie, floral and woody feel and the honeyed nuances of the Medjool dates.

    What else to ask? Made by Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois exotic gourmand cocktail with sandalwood , iris and vanilla clashing in a velvety powdery cloud, a brilliant idea to counter the darker side of Rouge Éclat. I like the classical style of the bottle , the golden top and I’m excited for Badar Parfums in general.
    I absolutely love the specific Medjool dates cakiness and i find interesting the whole dark yet cozy delicious atmosphere. Immersive multisensory experience i believe.

  • Healthy_Lifestyle says:

    There’s a saying that good ideas start with brainstorming and i have a feeling for all those years Margaux Le Paih Guérin , Amélie Bourgeois and their teammates at FLAIR had hundreds of such brainstorming moments , I wonder who came up with the idea of mixing milk , vanilla , plum , osmanthus, iris and sandalwood?!? Badar Parfums owners or the two perfumers…
    My takeaway about all 4 Badar Parfums articles J Wearescentient worked on , including Young Perfumer Interview with Michelyn Camen is the overall sense of heritage and novelty approach blended together to perfection. It appeals to me that Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois infused into Rouge Éclat his own love for iris , sandalwood and milk plus all and the delicious gourmand aspects.
    As a result of their work I’d like to know how the luxury not overly sweet Medjool dates Parisian pastry dessert called Rouge Éclat smells. In light of J Wearescentient review I have no doubt the fragrance is stunning.
    Many thanks , EU

  • Angel_St_8 says:

    The idea of adding iris and osmanthus accords to to a gourmand composition adds another layer of enjoyment to the whole ballgame.
    I can emphasize to the J Wearescentient words of high respect towards Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois, he enjoys quite a few of Flair creations.
    Rouge Éclat was crafted from a passionate belief in creativity and originality. The new Badar Parfums fragrance is based on a sensual floral hints , delicious vanilla and dried fruits sweetness, sandalwood and saffron, smooth and alluring fragrance with “remarkable grace” , to use J Wearescentient words.

    J Wearescentient is a contributors with specific taste for perfumes , and I do enjoy reading his articles .
    The brand of Badar Parfums i don’t know yet , the talanted Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois i do because of Sora Dora fragrances they created.
    Quite often i think of how Olya Bar once said perfumes can trigger past memories and forge future ones, Rouge Éclat instantly triggered J Wearescentient good times memories with dark red silk , flashbacks to vintage Jean Patou 1000 , maybe even eating at Michelin ☆ Parisian patisserie. With the velvety warmth of the sandalwood, strong dark sweetness , plums , iris and vanilla he’d keep forging a lot of new ones with Rouge Éclat complex aroma.
    Plums , vanilla and sandalwood are favorites of mine, let alone how J Wearescentient said the fragrance has a gorgeous honeyed note running through it , exquisite pleasure I’d love to win.
    Thank you very much Badar Parfums and Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois duo , and special thanks to J Wearescentient for the hard work

  • Rouge Éclat’s gourmand side is beautifully balanced and refined; its sweetness has enough darker elements to make you feel like you’re dining at a high-class Parisian patisserie, while the florals giving it a soft elegance and that iris osmanthus combination is one I can’t get enough of. Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat has knocked Estelle off Badar Parfums’s No.1 spot for me. Utterly beautiful.
    – J Wearescentient

    So that’s how a pundit sounds when he’s greatly impressed , Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat such an impact on J he almost went to a gourmand dreamland with beautiful dried melodies playing and darker amber rhythm .
    It has been a pleasure learning about Rouge Éclat being made by by the talented and charming ladies like Margaux Le Paih GUERIN and Amélie Bourgeois, they did wonders with Sora Dora , and once again with a fragrance by Badar Parfums.
    I’m a fan of beautiful things, Sandal Rice, opulent aura, passionate fragrances , fruity sweetness, creativity , and I’ll be happy to win Rouge Éclat , the dark amber fragrance with iris softness and creamy sandalwood.
    I’m happy to announce I own Sandal Rice now thanks to J Wearescentient and Cafleurebon

  • How have I never heard of this perfume house before??? This fragrance sounds so decadent with all those juicy fruit notes! That top layer of candied dates with cherry liquor sounds incredible. I’m glad the fruit notes continue through the heart notes. I really enjoy apricot and peach. Whenever sandalwood is in the base, it always ties everything together, like a warm sweater!

    Thank you for your review and introducing me to this house. I will explore their other selections, as well.

    I live in the US.

  • Let the future Top 10 gourmands of of 2025 games … begin with Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat

    I don’t need extra rounds to know Rouge Éclat is great , I never ever thought about it before but thanks to Margaux LE PAIH GUÉRIN and Amélie Bourgeois i started thinking about making a dessert with cherry liquor, candied fruits and milk .
    I’m now curious about Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat and the way it evolves , thanks J Wearescentient. The contrast between the notes is to die for, so posh … unique vibrancy delivered.

  • Considering the stressful times we’re living in reading about Margaux Le Paih Guérin recollections as advised and J Wearescentient awesome captivating take on Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat was like a mental getaway trip ♀️
    Often people striving so hard for perfection do forget the joy of life itself. It’s the steady progress, the journey , the struggle, the fun ,the reward of reaching different goals , in my opinion people should not focus on some imaginary final stop destination. I’m happy to know Margaux Le Paih Guérin is on the same page with me , she’s enjoying every moment because nothing tops making a living off your passion.
    I really like the part when she said all of her outside of work interests and activities do bring her joy and happiness , and at the same time nurturing her creativity.
    I’d like to win Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat because I love the taste of candied dates , apricots and peaches, the overall balanced sweetness , milkiness , the iris and osmanthus floral aspects , and especially the dark ambery base of the fragrance. Playful fragrance with both high-class Parisian patisserie and Little Black Dress nuances.
    I’m also happy to know Rouge Éclat is is collaboration between one already accomplished perfumer like Amélie Bourgeois , and one up and coming prospect like Margaux Le Paih Guérin.

    From the very first moment Rouge Éclat from Badar Parfums draws you in with deep honeyed dates with sparkling citruses , plump Medjool dates and apricots as I imagined light and playful feel , almost like the beginning of a love story. But there’s more beneath the surface. As it develops with rich iris and saffron , offering both comfort and seduction. The base lingers with the soft elegance of sandalwood and the sensual closeness of ambroxan , and deep and dark amber , Rouge Éclat is warm,long lasting and unforgettable.
    Created by perfumers Margaux Le Paih-Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois gem is a gourmand fragrance with a lot of depth. It’s sweet without being simple, floral and romantic without being naive. It captures the intimacy of a moment, and I’m eager to see how all Badar Parfums including Rouge Éclat would translate into my own personal experiences. 
    Since not a lot of people nowadays can blend passion and artistry in their lives and writings i enjoyed J Wearescentient work very much.

    The senior editor J Wearescentient theme was quite evocative,  and in in every sense of the way confirmed my beliefs that I need both love , candied fruits,  passion , comfort  , sophisticated fragrances and to go on a trip to Paris, and visit a high-end Parisian patisserie. 
    To me quality niche perfumery is a must, but I like to know the background of the brand , perfumers and particular fragrances, that’s where Michelyn Camen,Editor-in-Chief and J Wearescentient  grabbed me with the links to the older themes with reviews of Sandal Rice, Sinaï , Estelle and Margaux Le Paih Guérin interview.  I read them all one by one. 
    They say Medjool dates are delicious , I’d take delight in testing that theory with buying some later on today, dipped into milk and enjoying the taste I love osmanthus , iris , vanilla and sandalwood as well. 
    Later on I’ll look for Badar Parfums sample set since I’m on board with all of them. Rouge Éclat in particular is a fragrance that speaks in a language of the person who likes to take his time and to enjoy life.

    Thank you for this detailed review of Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat ! I appreciate how J Wearescentient showcased the way Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie brought depth and intensity to this beautiful  fragrance , making it more dark ,  woody , floral and even a tad playful counterpart to all the simplistic gourmand fragrances on the market.
    The blend of iris , cherry liquor,  citruses, milk , sugary fruits , sandalwood and vanilla sounds absolutely captivating—especially the interplay of sweet, woody and sexy . I’d love to experience this deeper floral and woody gourmand interpretation myself. 
    I also appreciate learning about where and when Margaux Le Paih Guérin started her journey as a perfumer, and J Wearescentient showcasing the other 3 fragrances by Badar of which Estelle and Sandal Rice i find fascinating.European Union

  • I went to Margaux Le Paih Guérin essay once again like Michelyn Camen (or maybe J Wearescentient) suggested to get me up to speed with her journey and I’m glad she has both her heart in her work, and her work in her heart, that’s why she’s so successful at her age. I also read the previous J Wearescentient essays of Badar Parfums Sandal Rice, Sinaï and Estelle.
    Not yet familiar with Margaux Le Paih Guérin work but dreaming big is a must for every self driven person, young perfumer like her or a barber like me . The based on creativity approach i like a lot no , doubt great things are in the store for her . Amélie Bourgeois I’m familiar with for her Jovoy , Loumari and BDK work.
    French bakery feel mixed with Australian sandalwood, perfumery traditions meeting new horizons, iris , fluffy milk and vanilla, and luxury woody and saffron facets are giving Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat an unique contemporary spin . Fragrance with a cozy aura , and according to J Wearescentient a soft elegance.
    Thanks to all involved

    Let’s face it , whether it’s for dates , social nights out or a business trip to Paris every man needs a perfectly fitting tailor made suit , brown loafers and a fragrance like Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat.
    I like the classy bottle, sandalwood and iris , delicious yet non-sticky grown-up profile with the candied dates , milk and vanilla and Rouge Éclat sense of refinery is tickling my fancy even more.

    “As you wear Rouge Éclat it has an elegant sweeping movement of red silk, long and graceful, the same way someone with grandeur moves. Iris enhances the silky feel with things getting delicious and creamy as Rouge Éclat unfolds”

    So basically almost like a tailors themselves Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois have put a tailor made slick and sophisticated red silk coat ? Rouge Éclat vibe is giving me a perfect balance between classic and modern, formal and casual. Sophisticated fragrance , and a future classic that captured my attention thanks to J Wearescentient.
    Paying attention to Michelyn interview with Margaux Le Paih Guérin was worth it . I was trying to make my own fragrances at the age of 15 but blending a few different colognes with rather awful results , but when Margaux Le Paih Guérin was at the same age she already was a trainee wow
    I like how she even though highly motivated never rushed, but took her time to steadily develop her skills from trainee to perfume analyst and junior perfumer at Flair. Talent and dedication are very important sure, but patience is the key. I do believe i’m quite talented and yet I was apprentice for 10 years before I even started calling myself a tailor.

    “All these artistic experiences enrich me every day. Creation occupies a significant part of my life: I design clothing…..This early immersion into the realm of imagination cultivated a fertile ground for creativity to flourish. Whether through fashion design, where fabrics become canvases for my ideas to materialize…. each medium allows me to channel my innermost thoughts and inspirations”

    Wait…what? Margaux Le Paih Guérin is not only a perfumer but also design clothing? Wow such a talented lady, I’m impressed by her life journeys , I truly am. She started from his mother’s perfume shop , went to Switzerland, worked with multiple creative people always looking for new opportunities and knowledge. I admire people who know what they want in life, and most importantly how to achieve their goals.
    I know 2 Sora Dora fragrances Margaux Le Paih Guérin made , Red and Jany but I don’t know Badar Parfums yet.

    J Wearescentient appreciation for Naomi Goodsir fragrances and delicate talent is apparent from his article , and that doesn’t come as a surprise. Or du Serail, Nuit De Bakélite and Corpus Equus are all rooted in classic perfumery but taking on a modern twist and appearing so impressive .
    Rouge Éclat being darkly ambery-emotional with a dramatic effect, but also kind of melancholic – truly sounds like the fragrance I’d like to win. I love the idea of Medjool dates, sandalwood , iris and vanilla , with all the notes working their magic in the air around me. Thank you from the EU

    J Wearescentient introduction to Rouge Éclat was truly captivating , and vital at the same time since he’s the one who i should thank the most for Sandal Rice being in my possession now 🙂
    J passion for the art of perfumery shines through, making me even more eager to experience Rouge Éclat hence I never had the pleasure to do so since it was not on the market yet when I ordered Sandal Rice.
    J stating that Rouge Éclat is fragrance is like a creamy milkshake ,imparting a voluptuous sensation to the silkiness of the iris , allowing the fragrance to drape its candied dates and dates over you like glowing gems was such a powerful and inviting message. I’m thinking about dates , milkshakes , iris and the calming effects ot the sandalwood right now . From the EU
    Lovely opportunity

  • Never tried anything from this house, but I do know some of Amélie Bourgeois’ creations, therefore I have high expectations regarding Rouge Eclat! Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to everyone! EU

  • PurpleFox33 says:

    J Wearescentient words are truly evocative, capturing the essence of memories that many of us can relate to . I’m talking about those simple yet profound moments of passion and romance that linger around longer than any fragrance.
    J framing of Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois Rouge Éclat as “beautifully balanced and refined,  its sweetness has enough darker elements to make you feel like you’re dining at a high-class Parisian patisserie, while the florals giving it a soft elegance and that iris osmanthus combination is one I can’t get enough of”  i imagine is rooted in specific hedonistic and decadent memories he had in the past,  and new he intend to forge with the help of the fragrance.
    All beautifully aligns with the emotional spectrum of Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat and its glowing red hue , artistic perfume I’d be thrilled to win .

    Bless you

  • The materials fade into each other from opening to closing in a dance of grace. Great review, as usual, J. I am in the USA. Thanks to Badar for this generous giveaway.

    Such a devotion , a lot current and past cherished memories between  and Cafleurebon , Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Badar Parfums ,  strength of characters as well. I’m love it here 
    I liked the way J Wearescentient underlines that all the passion and balance fragrance fans would find in Badar Parfums catalog. 
    Cafleurebon and J Wearescentient know well how to deliver exclusivity. Rouge Éclat offers  sensuality and  delicious memories relying on milk , dates , iris,  vanilla too and considering the desirable features I’d say the fragrance has a character of its own.
    Respect for people like you , EU

  • XploreFragrances says:

    Thank you for introducing me to Margaux Le Paih Guérin, “Rouge Éclat” , “Sandal Rice” , “Sinaï” and “Estelle” , Badar Parfums fragrances are in my to-try-list now . One super talanted, smart and dedicated young perfumer, and 4 decadent fragrances each with its own distinct character, “Rouge Éclat” is very much hedonistic creation with saffron, candied fruits, iris and sandalwood.
    The fact that the senior editor J Wearescentient said “A gorgeous honeyed note captures the mouthwatering intensity of Medjool dates while continuing the silky feel turning it into a glowing red hue” sounds fantastic.
    Rouge Éclat offers variety of encounters for people who like to communicate with passion.EU

  • PerfumesforLife says:

    I am very interested in Badar since I first heard about them last year. This particular fragrance with fruity and cherry notes seems like something I would love to try! I am a fan of cherry when done right.
    USA

  • I am in a period of my life where I try to redefine what it is to be a woman? What woman do I want to be? The description of the notes has sparked my interest. The balance between silk, sugar, spice is an attitude I try to achieve. I want to be a woman who can be associated with “ an elegant sweeping movement of red silk, long and graceful, the same way someone with grandeur moves.”
    I live in France.

  • District19B says:

    “Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat opens with a deep fruitiness, reminiscent of candied dates with a rich cherry liquor that feels fresh, bright and instantly gives you that rouge colour of the name.” J Wearescentient had me closing my eyes to interpret what that could be , bold , romantic and delicious thoughts crossed my , and I started salivating a bit. 
    The looks of the bottle, the cap , the scent profile and the comment “a deep amber conjuring the darker hues of the dates inner flesh” sold it for me. 
    The blend of juicy peaches , milk,  dates with iris will set it apart. Having worn a few Amélie Bourgeois fragrances , I am anxiously waiting to try this ! Margaux Le Paih Guérin i don’t know yet , the Young Perfumers Interview made me think promising future awaits for her. 
    Props to J Wearescentient and Badar Parfums

    With such exquisite reads I’d like so say signing up to Cafleurebon for many years ahead is a must for every fragrance enthusiast . You guys are all built differently , no mistake J Wearescentient own words proves that “Saffron too picks up on this silkiness and from the osmanthus adding some silver stitching to the silks” 
    Very emotional and alluring description by J , candied fruity and milky , there’s even iris  Rouge Éclat from Badar Parfums sounds spectacular. I’m glad to know the fragrance consists of multiple delicious nuances , dark red silk and hypnotic sexy trails.Sincerely thank you from the EU

  • Q1999GingerLady says:

    Cafleurebon is The expert in niche fragrances , and since Badar Parfums fragrances are available on the blog the excellent quality is guaranteed. Reading all the linked articles , Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief interview and the 3 extra reviews took me some time, good to know Badar Parfums is a friend and a  partner of the blog. 
    All Rouge Éclat, Sandal Rice, Sinaï and Estelle  i find attractive, I believe Rouge Éclat and Estelle I’d enjoy the most. 
    The latest Badar Parfums scent is absolutely unapologetic ode to all who knows how to enjoy every day, and like Medjool dates, iris ,  honey and milk altogether. That’s how I’d describe the fragrance after reading J Wearescentient evaluation. Some fragrances do more than smell beautiful – they speak to the heart , and Rouge Éclat absolutely speaks to me.
    I’m eager to participate , EU

  • Uncle1979 says:

    Margaux Le Paih Guérin is unbelievably good when it comes to gourmands, the last year interview brought up so many beautiful memories of my life in Paris
    She’s literally living the story he wants to tell , every self-driven person should push the boundaries, I do it all the time, and I’m glad Margaux Le Paih Guérin is doing the same thing. I can definitely relate to her , because in a very similar manner I had the honor of meeting, training for years, and working under the great Pierre Hermé, top 3 Pastry Chefs and Chocolatiers in the world.
    I’m glad lots of renowned perfumers and other professionals took Margaux Le Paih Guérin under their wing because now we can buy , and enjoy fragrances by not by some apprentice but a future master perfumer.
    ☆ “Finally, in my life, I feel fully fulfilled. Every day, I am in contact with inspiring and stimulating people. I am trusted, which makes me even more motivated to give my all for my company”
    Love it ,exactly how I feel every single day early in the morning when I open my bakery
    ☆ “I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with artists such as Quentin Derouet, Florian Mermin, Chloé Jeanne, Io Burgard, for the International Perfume Museum of Grasse”
    I’ve collaborated (cooked for) with different artists, from musicians to niche brands, and 3 times with museums. Different and memorable experiences .
    J Wearescentient take on Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat once
    again made me think of Paris, and in particular learning how to make Honey and Saffron Moist Fruitcake. I imagined being one date with my girlfriend, eating the cake, drinking freshly squeezed mandarin juice , while a big bouquet of irises in on the table.
    Estelle is top quality gourmand i love.
    Appreciate Margaux last year interview, J Wearescentient review , and the giveaway campaign
    USA

  • This is quite the fascinating description, as you can feel the effort and thoughts that went into creating this perfume.

    There are many layers there. It feels as if we were invited into the velvety intimacy of a old French salon. And simultaneously, as if we were at the opera, looking at a complex dancing of notes and tones dancing on the stage.

    It sounds like a very inviting journey and I would welcome the opportunity to experience it.

    Greetings from the EU.

  • SafetyMatters says:

    One particular phrase caught my attention from J Wearescentient description “As you wear Rouge Éclat it has an elegant sweeping movement of red silk, long and graceful,  the same way someone with grandeur moves. Iris enhances the silky feel with things getting delicious and creamy as Rouge Éclat unfolds.

    Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat is quite intriguing , as I have become more attracted to lactonic and fruity fragrances lately , and like high-end Parisian patisseries too Lol . J absolutely delivered with his comprehensive review and painted a really excellent Medjool dates milkshake picture of this offering. Other than that I’m found of the iris and sandalwood ,  and Rouge Éclat thrills me very much.
    Badar Parfums is a brand I  want to sample now so I hope to get this in my collection. EU Appreciate the chance

  • N1.wedding.advisor says:

    I wonder if I’m on a wedding , on a date or on a neutral venue? Wherever I am I’m genuinely enjoying it if there’s dark red silk dress with silver stitching,  and such a gorgeous scent profile. I like the way J Wearescentient  underlines the delicious, romantic, the decadent and darker sides of Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat , talking about artistic and niche perfume.
    The happy medium between wedding vanilla cake with dates and honey made in high-class  Parisian patisserie , and lovers on a date with passion in their eyes – that’s the Rouge Éclat  no shame image currently stuck in my mind . I’d love to discover the latest Badar Parfums fragrance glowing in an array of red tones. 
    You have my sincere thanks EU

  • NeverOrdinaryPerfumery says:

    Such a nice surveying J Wearescentient did on all Badar Parfums offerings and not just on Rouge Éclat ,  I’m keen on her meticulousness and insightful perspective. 
    Jumping in between different creamy , flavorful and mouthwatering , amatory and decadent depictions with Rouge Éclat , all  was a treat i was not expecting . I’m pleased since I have a thing for milky and fruity-floral fragrances done in an unconventional manner.
    Count me in . From the EU

  • LifeonRecord says:

    I’ve been interested in Badar Parfums for a while now since I’m a fan of fragrances Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois created for other brands like BDK and Alexandre J . “Glowing Red Silk l” article only deepens that curiosity.
    I can’t imagine how hard it was for Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois to create an evocative and artistic gourmand that’s unique , a bit floral , a bit dark and dopamine-fueled. Chemical signals, subconscious attraction , remarkable grace, Medjool dates, vanilla, creamy sandalwood and elegant iris , I’d say Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat is a captivating fragrance trip I’m willing to take.
    I value the opportunity. Germany

  • Sonic.the.Hedgehog says:

    If you love niche and artistic perfumery, passion and artistry there’s no other way around but to enjoy your time on Cafleurebon.
    I love J Wearescentient latest review and the way Margaux Le Paih Guérin character is based around authenticity , dedication and modesty. I often tell myself “you can do this better than anybody while be real and modest” , judging by the her words in Young Perfumer Interview i believe she feels the same way.
    J certainly seems to have a huge love for all Badar Parfums and especially the candied fruits , milk , iris and honey nature of Rouge Éclat in his review. The Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie engineered fragrance is truly addictive.
    I would love to win this amazing new release. I am from the EU

    It’s amazing how Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois worked towards towards turning Badar Parfums deep fruity , milky-smooth,  honeyed floral feel ,  and high end Parisian patisserie dreams into reality .
    J Wearescentient took his time to talk about the ingredients , the whole creative process , the chemical , sensual and poetic anatomy of Rouge Éclat,  and not just how thefragrance smells.
    I’ve experienced a lot of fruity and lactonic gourmands, but nothing like the newest Badar Parfums fragrance with the influence of the  French realities and sensuous references. Thanks to J, and to Badar Parfums for generously providing Rouge Éclat to one lucky reader.EU

  • Sweet.Lemon94 says:

    J Wearescentient approach to Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat l was truly fascinating, offering a  glimpse into the creative process behind this luscious and luxurious fragrance and the way it smells. I particularly appreciated the rich creaminess , soft elegance,  balanced floral side and fruity sweetness with enough darker elements , I’m amazed. 
    The balance between luscious and comforting elements Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois were able to achieve is masterful.Best wishes from EU

  • harmonica26x says:

    Wow, what a wonderful review ! It truly transported me to a cozy Parisian coffee shop where everything is made by hand . A small peach tart , latte with a scoop of honey and a few Medjool dates, utterly beautiful indeed. 
    Rouge Éclat sounds absolutely wonderful and tranquil — that mix with added osmanthus, iris and saffron and is just raw comfort in a bottle. I’ve always been a fan of  such fragrances and it seems like Rouge Éclat carries that emotional core.
    I can’t wait to try it, especially in those days when I’d like to have a dark and sweet cloud surrounding me. 
    I am from EU

  • The_Funny_Gentleman says:

    It’s interesting how J essay and his approach invoked the best of Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat different aspects , and I’m loving it.
    There are nods to vintage Jean Patou 1000 , vitality, youth, desire , there’s iris as well yet Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois also added current day trendy delicious nuances of milk , honey and candied fruits .
    I love Rouge Éclat no shame overall smoothness and richness. Thanks to J I feel scented now with one beautiful sweet, fruity and spicy fragrance.Many thanks for the chance

    Such a lovely way to celebrate Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat, Estelle, Sinai and Sandal Rice.
    I found J Wearescentient introduction to Rouge Éclat intriguing, highlighting the originality of the composition and how realistic it is. The scent profile is blend of appreciation for organic juicy peaches and apricots , vibrant saffron , candied dates and a cup of milk, everything smoothen up to perfection by Margaux Le Paih Guérin and Amélie Bourgeois
    Badar Parfums seems to have a lot of variety in what they offer , Rouge Éclat is a nice way to start exploring. I’d like to try the other 3 offerings as well
    Greetings and thanks , EU

  • Quite a colorful personality, something no one would disagree with , currently junior but future master perfumer , a painter, fashion designer artist and forever student of the fragrance world , well Hello Margaux Le Paih Guérin.
    I like the fact that everything she accomplished for her young age was not because of her being a relative to some big name in the fragrance industry, she came to the position of junior perfumer at Flair all by herself. It’s good for her that at Flair there’s a proven team she can trust and rely on
    I had the pleasure of buying Happy Nuts by the trendy brand of BORNTOSTANDOUD , one of Margaux Le Paih Guérin creations.
    Badar Parfums Rouge Éclat is sophisticated with a few interesting ideas and twists. The delicious Medjool dates, vanilla , rich cherry liquor, saffron , iris and osmantus blend is so posh , I need to try the fragrance as soon as possible.
    I’ll treat myself now with De Kuyper Cherry Brandy now and a dozen of dates.
    Cheers and thank you for the opportunity
