roue
Dissolute pleasure seeker
A roue is a debauched man, especially an aging one devoted to sensual pleasures.
The word carries connotations of worldly experience and moral dissolution—someone who has lived hard and indulgently: The old roue still frequented the casino bars, hoping to charm younger women.
The term is literary and somewhat archaic.
