Andrea Maack Dark is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Julien Rasquinet. Andrea Maack's Dark carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you, there's nothing 'Dark' about this; it's a bright, metallic rose that's divided opinion. Some find it a clean, modern take on rose, others get blood or dog medicine. Try before you buy, obviously.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it suitable for casual wear, but the metallic and potentially divisive rose note might be too prominent for formal settings. Reviewers mention it's office-friendly due to its 'polite' nature.

About

Dark opens with a vibrant, almost icy blast of aldehydes, mandarin, and lemon tree, quickly introducing a crisp, somewhat tart rose. The metallic note, prominent for many, creates a modern, sharp edge, while pink pepper adds a subtle spice. As it settles, virginia cedarwood grounds the composition, and a hint of amber provides a soft, warm finish.
