Demeter Fragrance Library Dark Roses is a Cologne launched in 2021. Dark Roses opens with Red Currant, settles into a heart of Davana and Rose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Demeter Fragrance Library's Dark Roses carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't some moody, gothic rose. It's a surprisingly bright, juicy, and often photorealistic rose with a controversial fruity sweetness. Some find the opening a bit 'rotting roses', while others adore its unique garden appeal.

Its moderate projection and fresh, fruity-rose profile make it versatile for casual wear and dates. While some find it strong, it's generally considered too whimsical and not quite 'serious' enough for formal events, and certainly not suitable for sport.

About

Dark Roses opens with a vibrant burst of red currant, lending a sweet, tart, and intensely fruity character supported by davana's nuanced fruitiness. Beneath this, a lush, velvety rose accord blossoms, balanced perfectly by hints of green vetiver and warm, subtle amber. Patchouli adds a touch of earthy depth, preventing it from becoming overly sweet, while the overall impression is of a fresh rose bush with a hint of natural decay.
