Voluptuous, midnight-black roses blended with precious black Arabian oud and black Indonesian musk.
"Darkling I listen; and for many a time
I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call'd him soft names in many a musèd rhyme,
To take into the air my quiet breath;
Now more than ever seems it rich to die,
To cease upon the midnight with no pain,
While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad
In such an ecstasy!"
-- John Keats

This is a beautiful, dark, woody and earthy rose that perfectly fits its name. In a world oversaturated with the same fresh, fruity rose scents, or the tired rose/synthetic oud com...view morebos, this one is a different. It is a dark red rose with the wood stem and earth still attached. I get a hint of smoky spice, too, and a bit of sweetness as it dries down. So, I'm really confused about the low rating and review here. Someone who is "not big on the smell of roses", bought a scent called "Black Roses", and proceeds to diss it because "the rose was too strong"? I guess any perfume note would be too strong if one already dislikes it? I mean, I'm not a fan of aquatic notes because they often turn rank on my skin, so if a perfume calls itself "Aquatic Blues", I'm probably not going to buy it, even though I know that the note is lovely on those who can wear it. And, honestly, the rose in this is pretty subtle, and I've smelled (and sometimes suffered) a lot of rose scents over the years. view less

When the bottle is closed, I like the smell, but when I open it.. I don't like it. I'm not big on the smell of roses, but this was even worse, hahah. To me it smelled like fertiliz...view moreer at first! (insert that Outkast song here lol) I put it on just one wrist, cause I doubted I would like it. It smelled a little better after a minute, but the rose smell was still there. I couldn't smell the oud or musk, the rose was too strong. I gave it an hour and tried to wash it off, but failed. Not for me! If you really like rose, this could be for you. view less
