SmokyWhat does Dark Rose smell like?
It opens with pink pepper, grapefruit and plum, which give a spicy, fruity brightness. At the heart, black rose leads while cumin adds a warm, spicy edge. In the base, vanilla, patchouli and labdanum set the rose on a sweet, woody foundation. The overall impression is oriental, lightly smoky and distinctly synthetic, with fruit, sweetness and smoke balanced around the rose. Mugler La Rose Angel and Issey Miyake Nuit d'Issey Parfum have a close profile.
