Ink lasts between 7 and 9 hours on skin, stretching past 12 hours on coat collars. Sillage projects sharply for the first two feet during the initial two hours before settling into an arm's length bubble. It thrives best in dry autumn and winter air under 60 degrees Fahrenheit, though oily skin brings out more of the animalic musk and tobacco base.

Ink opens with sharp green cannabis and crackling spices. Smoky cypriol and dark patchouli quickly take over the heart, producing a dry, paper-like impression reminiscent of fresh calligraphy ink. Deep sandalwood, rich amber, and clean musk smooth out the base, leaving a warm resinous woody texture on skin.
Main Accords

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Rouge Bunny Rouge Ink Review: Raw Cannabis and Smoky Woods”
Ink makes an immediate impression when sprayed onto skin. Perfumer Marc Daniel Heimgartner starts the composition with a sharp, green cannabis accord wrapped in hot spices. It feels raw and aromatic rather than burnt or sweet. The green bite lingers for roughly twenty minutes, cutting cleanly through chilly air and establishing a cold, dark tone right from the first spray.
As the initial green haze settles, the heart of the fragrance turns significantly darker and drier. Smoky cypriol takes center stage alongside earthy patchouli, cedar, and a quiet touch of tobacco. Together, these notes create a mineral, papery aroma that closely mirrors wet fountain pen ink on heavy parchment. It avoids sugary warmth completely, leaning hard into a moody, structured woodiness that feels artistic and restrained.
On skin, the earthy and woody accords show impressive control over time. The cypriol retains its bitter, smoky character without becoming harsh, while patchouli provides grounding weight underneath. Warm amber and creamy sandalwood emerge during the third hour, smoothing out the sharp edges of cedar and preventing the blend from turning powdery. Clean musk and subtle oud anchor the final hours, leaving a warm resinous trail on skin.
Performance is steady and reliable for a cold-weather scent. Expect seven to nine hours of continuous wear on skin, while wool coats and scarves retain the patchouli and amber base for days.

It performs best outdoors on rainy autumn afternoons or during crisp winter evenings.
This scent appeals directly to fragrance enthusiasts who enjoy dark, avant-garde woody profiles. It fits naturally with dark leather jackets, tailored black coats, and evening wear. Due to its dry green opening and lack of sweetness, Ink is not built for casual summer days or corporate office spaces where subtle scents are expected. It belongs in creative settings, evening dinners, and quiet night walks.
Ink by Rouge Bunny Rouge delivers a compelling dark woody experience anchored by raw cannabis and smoky cypriol. While the dry papery heart will not suit fans of sweet gourmands, it offers a distinctive signature for cold weather. Grab a decant sample to test how the green top notes interact with your skin before buying a full bottle.
