From your scent profile
Trussardi The Black Rose sets a fresh floral rose on a sweet, powdery, resinous oriental base, and it suits both men and women; it has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, then spring, with winter and summer further back. Leisure and business are the most chosen settings, with evening and night out close behind. Masculine and feminine votes split evenly, so it sits right in between.
It opens with pink pepper, and the heart holds Taif rose, amber and white musk. In the base, patchouli, vanilla and balsam sweeten and soften it. The spice and flowers read fresh at first, then dry down to a powdery, resinous warmth. Rituals Oriental Essence - Palace d'Ambre and Dior Ambre Nuit (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
