Byredo Rose Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Rose Noir opens with Red Berries, Grapefruit, Freesia, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Labdanum. Byredo's Rose Noir carries a Statement verdict, a rose-led wear.

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.

About

Rose Noir unfurls with a tart burst of red berries and grapefruit, quickly giving way to a rich, velvety rose heart. This isn't a delicate bloom; it's a dark, earthy rose, deepened by a prominent mossy base and entwined with patchouli. Hints of musk and an almost boozy labdanum add a sensual, lingering depth to its complex character.
