Ile Rouge is a niche fragrance that deviates from the beaten paths of perfumery. The exquisite composition of saffron with black pepper, based on a foundation of leather and tonka bean, creates a tempting combination, full of elegance.
This unisex scent fits perfectly with both women's and men's tastes. Excellent for daily wear, but also suitable for evening outings or elegant events.
We make every bottle of perfume fresh, by hand, one bottle at a time, in our workshop as customers orders it, you should expect delivery no later than 7 days from placing an order.


Why we made the 50ml.
"100ml is a commitment. 10ml is a date. For two years people have asked us for the in-between, the bottle you take with you, the one that fits in a bag, the one you can buy two of without thinking too hard. We made it. Same hand-blending, same British materials, same scent oils we obsess over. Just half the volume. The format that travels."
— Patrick, Founder
WOOD & SPICY
The rich fragrance of Ile Rouge combines oriental, woody, and leather aromas. Its distinctive dryness is built by saffron and black pepper, enriched with the oriental notes of clove and cinnamon in the top notes. The linear aroma reveals its character right from the first moments of its scent.
From the very start of the projection, an oriental-woody breeze is perceptible, where, besides the mentioned strong woody accent amplified by the earthiness of Guaiac wood, leather plays an equally significant role.
In the distance, beneath the dominating aroma of leather, sprinkled with saffron extract and the sweet depth of tonka bean, clove breaks through, revealing its oriental character.
The scent is very durable with an equally impressive projection. It is a fragrance for the connoisseur, an extraordinary, captivating, and addictive composition.
Top Notes:
Bergamot, Saffron, Lemon
Heart Notes:
Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Clove (spice)

I’m used to parcels arriving on my door step in brown boxes with no excitement involved. My perfume was hand delivered, signed for, stunning packaging which felt like a real treat and very luxurious. I even got a free gift and a discount. I love, love, love the scents! 10 out of 10 🙏🏼💫✨

My picture is all ready for a short trip! I love having different sizes available and the travel one is super convenient and lasts well. 2/4 sprays actually lasts the whole day, so this size lasts well for the cost. This scent is my all time favourite and lifts my mood instantly. It’s so fresh, yet with a lovely depth that has an intensity, without being over the top. Develops so nicely throughout the day too.
Jane C. 5/5 Verified
Amazing perfume! Smells fabulous and always lifts my mood, strong enough that I get lots of compliments, 2/4 sprays means it isn’t overpowering. Lasts well during the day. Such lovely packaging too, feels so classy with the magnetic lid and frosted glass finish bottle. Super convenient to have a small travel size available to buy as well.

With my all time favourite il Rouge scent, I can handle anything!! It is so calming, subtlety intense and lovely initially and also as the scent develops during the day. I am often asked what it is. My son loves it too and I have to stop his borrowing it too much! 😫

This is my favourite scent of all that I’ve tried so far. It smells great when first on and develops over the day so nicely and still great at the end of the day. Fresh, yet has an intensity, but never overpowering and I get asked often what it is, by men and women. This is my second purchase after discovering it in a discovery set, which had so many wonderful fragrances and is an excellent way to trail many in a cost effective way. Discovery sets are great, with sizes that give you a proper trial and are spray ones for total ease of use. Love it! 😍
Jane C. 5/5 Verified
Ile Rouge is an absolutely breathtaking fragrance that captured my heart right after I sampled it in the discovery set! Honestly, I adore every single one, it’s tough to choose just one favorite! Saltworks has the most extraordinary scents, I might just end up collecting them all!
Jennifer N. 5/5 Verified
Another beautiful fragrance can’t wait to try more.
Deborah G. 5/5 Verified
I absolutely love Ile Rouge. It's spicy and woody, but dry and subtle. The scent of cloves hits the nose first, quickly followed by mellow, woody notes. It's not at all sweet, which is always a big plus for me. It lasts all day, and I can quite honestly say that it's my favourite scent (including all the mega expensive ones which I have sniffed but could never afford. It smells even better than dear old Bob dog, as seen in the picture. Well done Saltworks!

After purchasing the discovery pack, I upgraded to the pocket size for extra testing. Excellent service, high quality packaging, and lovely scent. Really pleased….

My favourite perfume ever! Haven’t loved a perfume as much as this for many years. Please don’t stop making it!
Jane C. 5/5 Verified
I absolutely LOVE Saltworks perfumes. I have all 4 discovery boxes (please create another one), and a few travel sizes and full size perfumes. My favourites are Tabac Soleil, Ill Rouge, Windsong, Sufari, and Cherry Oakie so far. It is truly high quality, long lasting and very individual fragrances. LOVE THEM! Would love to have the matching body and hand cream to compliment the perfumes.

Where to start? The rapid dispatch? The quality packaging? The beautiful heavy bottle that feels so good in the hand with its pleasing magnetic seal? The free travel-size perfume that came with my order? Or simply the heavenly scent?! I quite simply adore Saltworks and I love my spicy Ile Rouge very much indeed! And of the two big bottles of scent I own, my hubbie prefers this one on me, so I know that it will get well used!

This is slightly lighter in fragrance but a a male orientated one that lends to making people know you are there but without over expression and in a very sophisticated way. This is a powerful expression of the person, but without overpowering the people around but letting them know that you are bold enough to wear it and with style and empowerment but with a hint of "I can so I will" attitude. It is the fragrance of "hey I'm here" and people see you follow your rules in a subtle way.

Bought the mens discovery set for my husband and this was his favourite so I have purchased a small bottle for him as a surprise…
Rhona D. 5/5 Verified
I got the Saltworks family sample (thank you Saltworks) and loved it so much I had to go straight back for a bigger bottle! Normally I veer more to citrusy scents, but this is gorgeous, rich, warm, a bit earthy, perfect for autumn. I like it the best by far of the richer scents I've tried (eg I find Brown Sugar in the Discovery set too sweet & cloying for me).
Antonia K. 5/5 Verified
I usually go for lighter citrus fragrances but loved this sample so much it's practically empty! It is a gorgeous deep fragrance, sensual and great for evening. I have just ordered more and think this will be a firm favourite, particularly for party season.

I really love this fragrance it is leathery, and earthy and great for every day as well as special occasions
Sharon S. 5/5 Verified
A very exotic heady floral. I liked the tops notes, it was too intense as the perfume moved through the different notes/levels. It lasts all day. If you enjoy fragrance families of My Way, Opium, Baccarat rouge you will love Saltworks ILE ROUGE.... NOT copycat fragrances! Excellent quality original blends.

This perfume samplr of 𝑰𝒍𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒆 was gifted to me and I have been using it for 3 4 days to see how the weather affects it and if it suits my mood. I believe it’s more unisex with hints of saffron, cloves and cinnamon I think. Started very strong almost overpowering, but then settled down to a nice musky scent which really didn’t blow me away at any point. The lasting power is super amazing though and justifies the price point. Dries down to a still spicy concoction and didn’t appeal Funnily enough I layered it with my Chloe sample that I just got too and it turned out so much better for me. So will probably use it with layering and won’t be pulled towards buying the full bottle sadly
