Dark Rose Cologne

Czech & Speake Dark Rose Cologne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Dark Rose Cologne opens with Litsea Cubeba, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Musk. Czech & Speake's Dark Rose Cologne carries a Statement verdict, a musky-led wear.

Czech & Speake's "Dark Rose" is a luxurious oriental-floral that polarises. Some find it a captivating, deep rose-oud, others a synthetic, plasticky disappointment. It's a statement scent for those who love bold, Middle Eastern inspired florals.

Given its strong sillage and 'screams for attention' nature, Dark Rose is ill-suited for the office or casual day wear. It truly shines for evening dates and formal events, where its luxurious character can be fully appreciated.

About

Opening with a bright burst of litsea cubeba, Dark Rose quickly deepens into a rich heart of crimson rose and elegant lily, underscored by the exotic spice of saffron. As it settles, a musky, animalic base emerges, adding a sensual allure and an almost powdery finish. This isn't a shy floral, but a complex tapestry of warm spices and blooming petals, developing into a luxurious skin scent.
