Rose Noire

I discovered Adopt perfumes 3 years ago and I have not looked back. Rose Noire was one of the first ones I got. The good thing about Adopt is that they are affordable and upon repurchase you get 20% off if you bring your empty bottles of perfumes or shower gel or cream. I am currently using the shower gel and 100ml perfume of Rose Noire. They recently launched the Intense version of some of their bestsellers. Rose Noire Intense is a different take on the original. Back to the smell- it's a sweet fruity Rose with an incense undertone. Very longlasting and perfect for the winter. Gives me witchy/vampy vibes. Very sensual and perfect for daytime and nighttime. Saw the big gift set at the Adopt shop and might get it on my next trip to the mall.

When I was a pre-teen someone gifted my mom Valentino Rock and Rose and I was in love with it: it was the smell of a Cool Girl in 2009. Years later, I was craving to find it, but it was somehow nowhere to be found, until I smelled Rose Noire in a random store... this is it, at least how I remember! I wear it for extra confidence now, reminding myself I am the Cool Girl now😎

A sensual, sweet rose. This is not a flower blooming in a summer garden, but a syrupy, dense, dark and seductive rose. Beautiful and enveloping, with a distinctly boudoir-like mood. It lingers for several hours with moderate yet noticeable projection. A truly beautiful fragrance.

Rose noire my first perfume from Adopt, an elegant scent really 👌🏻

So reading online about this perfume I read it ́s supposed to be a dupe for Nina Ricci L ́Extase. Never had it, never smelt it, so I don't know if it ́s true. Now to me this smells very very jammy and sweet. A very sweet rose is pretty much everything I get at the opening. The drydown is pretty much still the same thick, sweet rose, the other notes are barely there, and only if you try real hard to smell them. This gives me Arabic fragrances vibe, that sweet heavy rose you can find in a lot of them, so if that's something you don't like, you may not like this one. I personally like this scent, but I feel like this is more something my 50 year old mom should wear, and not someone in there 20s. I'm still gonna wear it cuz I do like it, I like to try different things out, and honestly for the price of 9 euros for 30ml I am not complaining. It doesn't smell cheap or synthetic so that's a plus in my book. Also this is definitely a cold weather perfume because its really heavy, so I wouldn't dare wear it in hotter weather, because I feel like it would be very cloying.
