Dark

Bright juicy rose! And a dark red rose at that! The aldehydes really help carry the "Rose" and the various citrus notes add to the sparkle and freshness. I don't find it to be metallic at all, so don't be put off by that note being listed. Its a well crafted blend that uplifts the Rose so she shines! Worth trying if your looking for a rosy Rose perfume.

This gem of a scent is a screamingly bright, almost tart rose scent that has a really lifting effect. It's beautifully balanced with cedarwood, but still, if rose could smell fresh and juicy - this is it. The development is pretty much linear; it settles over time but never looses it crispness. Want.

The name must be tongue-in-cheek. Dark makes me think of a very cold, very sunny day - the kind where sunlight on snow is almost blindingly bright. It's icicles and roses and frosty air. What sets it apart is that metallic note, like sunlight on chrome. Metallic notes can call to mind blood, but not here. I really enjoy this scent. For anyone looking for a dark, metalic-bloody rose, I'd suggest Etat Libre d'Orange's Eau de Protection. This is like that scent's effervescent, snow fairy sister.

An icy metallic rose, reminds me very much of Lutens’ LFDB. I wouldn’t label this a dark fragrance, which I imagine would have some gothic or mysterious quality, so the name isn’t really fitting. I have to say I like this modern interpretation of an aloof rose, standoffish yet accessible. Super office friendly, polite and quite low key and although I love assertive fragrances, this is a nice change for quieter days.

At first spray, I could smell mandarin, peach, and a nice fresh rose floral. The light fruity scent remained unobtrusive and complemented the rose well for the first fifteen minutes, and then the entire scent simply turned stale on me, which left me rather dumbfounded. It reminded me of stale water and water that has been immersed by rusted metal, with a tinge of rose and peach still very lightly in the background, which as time goes on, turns artificial. It wasn't until I got home that I realize what this stale scent reminds me of - my dog's ear infection medicine. I really wish the fragrance had stayed the way it did the first fifteen minutes, because the remainder of the time it really was stale. I suspect it might have been the metallic note in the fragrance, which somehow seems to really come through on my skin. It's a shame, because this fragrance really started out with a lot of promise.
