From your scent profile
Lancôme Rose from the Dark is a floral fragrance for women that sets Arabian taif rose, Damask rose and Rosa centifolia against the warmth of amber and amberwood.
Skunky's take: Floral accords up front; keep it from the bees.

What does Rose from the Dark smell like?
The roses sit at the centre and read less like a single bloom than a dense bouquet of three rose tones layered together. Behind them, amber, amberwood and white musk ground the floral body in a sweet, woody, resinous base. Spicy and earthy touches temper the sweetness of the rose, while a smoky edge darkens the oriental feel. Armani Privé Rose d'Arabie and Jovoy Psychédélique have a close profile.
