What does Black Rose smell like?

It opens with blood orange and blackcurrant, which give it a fruity brightness. Freesia and lily carry the floral heart. In the base, vanilla sweetens the scent while cedarwood adds a woody footing. Spicy and oriental touches stay in the background, and a slightly synthetic edge comes through.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted. It reads feminine. Hugo Boss Hugo Deep Red and Giorgio Armani Emporio Armani - Diamonds Black Carat have a close profile.
