Fake Noir

It opens with rose, and the heart of heliotropin, amber and vanilla pulls it towards a powdery sweetness. The base holds benzoin, sandalwood, patchouli, frankincense, oud, clove and cinnamon: spice and resin weigh heavily over a woody, smoky ground. Floral and fruity touches soften the sweetness, while the oriental and fougère lines give it a warm, dark character. Angelo Caroli Rosa Nera Oud and Bohoboco Yellow Rose Incense have a close profile.
