Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose Noir

Rose Noir is a divisive one. There's a brilliant, moody rose and moss core for some, while for others, it's a sour, fleeting mess. Not a safe blind buy, so sample before committing - your chemistry may vary wildly.

Statement

Our Verdict - Plant Black

A budget take on Byredo's Rose Noir - the same fresh-then-dark damask rose, lifted by grapefruit and freesia and tarnished by mossy musk and labdanum. Plant Black captures that semi-fresh, semi-powdery rose character but reads flatter and shorter-lived than the niche original, the dark mossy edge thinner.

Its bold, sensual character, along with reports of decent sillage and longevity from some wearers, makes it an unsuitable choice for the office. However, its sophisticated and mysterious aura is perfectly suited for date nights and special evening events.
