Perfume Parlour Plant Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Plant Black opens with Grapefruit and Freesia, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oakmoss, and Labdanum. Perfume Parlour's Plant Black carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A budget take on Byredo's Rose Noir - the same fresh-then-dark damask rose, lifted by grapefruit and freesia and tarnished by mossy musk and labdanum. Plant Black captures that semi-fresh, semi-powdery rose character but reads flatter and shorter-lived than the niche original, the dark mossy edge thinner.

About

Plant Black opens fresh and bright: a sunlit grapefruit and innocent freesia frame the entrance, setting up the contrast at the heart of Byredo's Rose Noir (2008). The centre is all damask rose - rich and slightly jammy, neither fully sweet nor fully dark. The base is where the name earns out, with mossy oakmoss, intoxicating musk and a resinous labdanum tarnishing the rose into something dusky and grown-up. Perfume Parlour's interpretation captures Rose Noir's semi-fresh, semi-powdery rose and that bitter-but-sweet tension convincingly, but it reads a fraction flatter, the mossy-woody base thinner and the dark edge less intoxicating than the niche original. Where Rose Noir manages a moderate 5-7 hours with soft sillage, here longevity is more modest and the projection close. The effect stays elegant and dusky - a mossy rose for cool spring, autumn and winter, at home on dates, evenings and dressier occasions.
