What does Rose Noire (Parfum de Toilette) smell like?

The floral accord leads: jasmine and rose sit in front, with bergamot and geranium adding a light green edge. In the heart, vetiver, sandalwood and iris bring a powdery, earthy depth. Musk, vanilla and amber soften the sweetness, and oakmoss leaves an oriental, faintly leathery trail.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small. Most voters pick evening and night out, while some choose it for daily wear and the office. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Harry Lehmann Habanera and Rasasi Arba Wardat have a close profile.
