Maison Noir Rosaeterna 163 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Julie Massé and Alex Lee. Rosaeterna 163 opens with Bergamot, Lavender, and Pink Pepper, and settles into a heart of Rose, Tonka Bean, and Labdanum. Maison Noir's Rosaeterna 163 carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't a shy, delicate rose; it's a dark, opulent monster. Forget pretty florals; Rosaeterna 163 is a serious, brooding beast, for those who dare to be different. It's a statement piece, but definitely not for everyone.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Rosaeterna 163 opens with a surprising zest of bergamot and the clean cut of lavender, quickly underscored by the subtle spice of pink pepper. This fresh introduction is merely a prelude to the true star: a rich, dark rose, not fresh and dewy, but thick, almost jammy, and deeply grounded by the balsamic warmth of labdanum and the creamy sweetness of tonka bean. As it settles, a prominent, smoky oud emerges, adding a leathery, woody depth that prevents any saccharine tendencies, creating a complex, dark amber-rose experience with incredible body.
