Our verdict on Rose Noir: Statement

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.

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.

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.
