Which Should You Buy?
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.
Compiled from community sources (Notino's fragrance-notes listing and its own retailer description): created in 2013 by Rasasi as part of the brand's animal-print-bottled 'Rumz Al Rasasi' series (which the Fragrantica community nicknames 'Zebra and Crocodile'), opening on a big fruity-citrus accord of pineapple-lime-lemon-bergamot-black pepper-plum-pear over a white-floral heart and an ambergris-cedar-leather-musk-oakmoss-patchouli base.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The bright fruity-citrus opening suits warmer months while the heavy leather-oakmoss-ambergris base carries the fragrance comfortably into cooler autumn evenings.
Occasions
Strong projection and a bold fruity-leather character suit evenings and casual social settings better than a reserved office environment.
