Our verdict on Rose de Nuit: Acquired

This isn't your grandma's rose. Serge Lutens Rose de Nuit is a divisive, darkly captivating beast. Prepare for a rich, animalic rose that some find morbidly beautiful, others an off-putting relic. Definitely not a blind buy, but endlessly fascinating.

About

Rose de Nuit opens with a profoundly dark and powdery rose, immediately hinting at something vintage and complex. Beeswax and a subtle apricot add a rich, slightly sweet, almost overripe fruitiness to the heart, while a deep blend of musk, sandalwood, and amber creates an animalic, woody, and resinous base. This isn't a fresh, clean floral; it's a moody, sultry rose that whispers of bygone eras.
