Magic Oud Dark Roses is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Dark Roses opens with Oud, Saffron, and Vanilla, settles into a heart of Musk, Patchouli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Amber and Sandalwood. Magic Oud's Dark Roses carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one's a divisive punch to the face. If you live for unapologetically huge, jammy roses that fill a room and don’t care if it's too much for some, this is your jam. If not, best steer clear. It's not subtle, it’s not for everyone, but for rose fans, it might just be everything.

About

Opens with an unexpected, almost metallic greenness, quickly giving way to an intense, jammy explosion of dark rose. This isn't your delicate garden variety; expect the full bloom, petals and stem, with a hint of musk and patchouli adding depth without detracting from the floral star. The oud and saffron are elusive, playing supporting roles to the dominant, almost overwhelming rose, settling into a rich, ambery-sandalwood base that maintains a heavy, floral presence.
