Rose et Noir
Fragrance notes
Character
Sour cherry and red berries lead the opening with a bright, tart edge that feels crisp against the skin. Almond softens the fruit without turning it gourmand, and bergamot lifts the top with a clean citrus thread. The fruit stays present for a while before the roses take over, and the transition feels smooth rather than abrupt.
Taif rose brings a deep, slightly oily floral character that sits close to the body. Tea adds a dry, faintly bitter contrast that keeps the flowers from becoming heavy. Licorice runs through the heart with a cool, dark streak, and the anise in the base extends that feeling so the scent never projects far beyond the wearer. Vanilla and tonka bean add a rounded sweetness that stays personal rather than loud.
Iris gives the drydown a powdery finish that pairs well with the patchouli underneath. The whole composition feels suited to a walk under gray skies when the air is cool but not freezing. It suits someone who likes rose without wanting something sheer, though anyone looking for a bold trail will find it too quiet here. The almond and cherry linger on the sleeve
