- Description
- A dark rose-oud composition that pushes rose into a shadowier, more Middle Eastern direction. Rose of Taif, saffron, oud, lily, woods, and ambered warmth create a floral scent that feels smoky, resinous, and slightly austere rather than soft or romantic. Dark Rose appears to have originated in 2003 and was later relaunched or reformulated around 2009, so the earlier year is used here.
