Rose Noir

This range/series of perfumes from Ahmed Al Maghribi is a hidden gem. I bought Lush Noir and Rose Noir as a combo on discount in January 2025, and originally Lush Noir was my favourite of the two. This summer though? No idea what changed, but oh my gosh, Rose Noir has been my signature for the hot weather. It's spicy, a bit floral, but not overwhelmingly so, and settles so beautifully. I got so many compliments. The dry down is a bit woody, and bit musky, and just helps me smell clean and fresh all day at work, which is super important on 11-12 hour shifts where i'm in and out of the hot summer weather all day and in clinical settings. I had no complaints from people that it was overpowering or unpleasant, except for the first 30mins after I applied it, but even then it was just compliments saying I smelt really good. Once it settled, it was great. Interesting that there's no rose note listed, because I definitely smell rose, and I also smell mandarin rather than orange. Brains are fascinating. I love how we interpret scents. Something tells me this will be a favourite again next summer.

I got a sample of this for free and i immediately fell in love that I purchased a full bottle. I don't know why rose isnt listed in the notes but I could smell it just right, not too jammy not too fresh. This is a big deal considering that I hate rose fragrances (enough that i detest delina) and this is the only rose perfume I own. Also there is something so creamy in the dry down that makes this so milky floral to me. The longevity is also really good. I can't wait for this to macerate even longer, though I have been using it already and have no problems.

if i lost my entire perfume collection today this is the first one i'm repurchasing, not only am i obsessed with it but everyone that gets close or hugs me complements me. I sprayed some on a blanket before gifting it to my cousin and she messaged me a few days later asking me what perfume I used. I think rose noir is a personality trait of mine. If you love a heavy wintery perfume do not buy other than that it’s a safe blind buy. (I have the old bottle that looks like oud lavender but white with flowers, idk if the new packaging comes with new formula)

I looked up some of my favorite notes and fragrantica had this list. Finally found it and to my surprise it was $35. Seeing smells like Olympea almost scared me away because I find that perfume matronly but I'm happy I bit the bullet. I definitely love this scent. Doesn't smell like Olympea too my nose. Definitely a floral soft powerdery vanillic scent. Extremely feminine, long lasting, and projects well. You can wear this year round. It is a compliment getter. I get a compliment every time I wear it from both men and women. Great buy.

First of all, this smells absolutely nothing like Olympea or Olympea intense to my nose. I have them both and put them side by side to Rose noir and no resemblance. Rose Noir is a very luscious and feminine smelling fragrance. It has syrupy florals mixed with some sweet orange and a powdery undertone. It is very smooth, clean and sophisticated. It also smells very expensive. And omg it got me so many compliments, more than my $300 fragrances 😅 Definitely reccommend if you love syrupy sweet and creamy smooth florals
