What does Dark Rose smell like?

Turkish rose, leather and precious woods read as a single whole. The floral accord comes from the rose, but spicy, smoky and animal tones pull it away from sweetness toward something rough and leathery. A woody base gives it a dark frame.

Voters find both longevity and sillage good, though the sample is small. Leisure, nights out and evenings lead, while daytime and work come well behind. It doesn't lean toward either gender. Mine Perfume Lab Corium / Cuoio and Hermès Cuir d'Ange have a close profile.
