Black Rose & Oud

THIS.IS.SO.GOOD. saw this newly available at my local online Sephora store and was interested,so i did my research, literally 5 reviews on Fragrantica and a little to no reviews on Youtube probably because it was just released this year 2024.....BUT all the reviews was positive which made me confident enough to blind bought this....I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED,smell amazing,fairly priced, minimalistic packaging.....ticking all of the box for me......it's a photorealistic rose scent with hints of spice, herbal notes with shy lingering of oud.....dries down to sweet tea rose-like scent.....now im going to get the other two bottles that they have

Ok, here goes a review. Excited about this body sprays searching for a review everywhere, decided to try it at store, this fragrance has impressed me with its power of Eau de Parfum being labeled as a body spray. Great sillage and projection, the dry down because of its sweetness reminds me just a little to The Noir 29, the opening it’s an earthy crisp black rose, some type of spice or herbal feeling with woods and a fresh crispness. Based on my opinion this is elegant and something different that I have not smelled before. Great to try out if you like rose fragrances.

A lovely fragrance. Simple, clean, modern lines in the packaging and a fair price. I'll be collecting the whole set of this if I can! A soft rose, a light hint of wood with an underlying hint of oud that lingers pleasantly on the skin. Currently I have the hand cream, and the body mist. Both are delightful and even nicer worn layered together. For me, the soft rose in it lends it a sweetness that makes it slightly more feminine than unisex but that tends to be my sweet spot for perfume, slightly to the feminine side of unisex.

Absolutely stunning and intoxicating. Smells like if you took a big bouquet of red roses, put them in water, and locked the vase in a mahogany china cabinet. If you opened that cabinet a few days later, you would smell the freshness of the rose flowers, the slightly decaying stems in water, and the dark, dry wood. Very sexy. I sprayed this on my wrist in Sephora and could smell it on myself for at least 6 hrs after, and I could smell it on the wrist of my coat for DAYS. Amazing price and performance for a body mist.

This smells like the cologne version of Le Labo's The Noir 29 or Byredo's Rose Noir. I stay in a humid country thus I can't use those 2 fragrances that I have listed as often as I would like. This Salt & Stone version aptly fills that gap for my desire of rose and oud smells. It's just so sexy and the price is ridiculously low if you buy it during a Sephora sale. I'm buying their Bergamot and Hinoki next!

This is the first time I’ve seen a nontoxic/“clean” oud perfume. It’s also nice to see the masses start to embrace Middle Eastern scents. The oud in this is bitter. No funky barnyard oud here. It’s very clean. The rose is sweet. An interesting synergy. Sillage is good. I get whiffs of it an hour after I’ve sprayed it, which is impressive considering it’s a nontoxic perfume, and a “mist”.

Mahogany lovers, this one is for you. The oud is present but tame. The rose is soft and smooth. A little vetiver is behaving in the background and lending some flavour. This is an unexpectedly beautiful mist with powerful performance. Men and women can wear this. It is incredibly well blended. If you are looking for a summer oud, I highly recommend it.

I love this body spray! it smells so good, like dried roses and smoke. I usually layer it with some form of vanilla body lotion and cafe rose by tom ford. Amazing combo! Its definitely more woody than rosy initially, but the dry down gives that rose and Lilly of the valley note more.

i smelled this multiple times at the store waiting to make a decision on if i wanted to buy it or not, and the vetiver and oud notes drew me back every time. i usually go for arab-brand oud perfumes, but one integrates it just as well!

This leans a lot harder into the woody accord than any floral notes. The wood is dry, pronounced, and a bit sour. Overall a nice fragrance, but I may have been expecting it to be more rose forward, a tad sweeter, like the deodorant.

This fragrance is labeled a body mist but performs like a perfume. Was looking for something similar to Nest’s Rose Noir and Oud candle and it’s a great match. Love, love, love this scent and this line

unisex. muted dried rose. smooth woody scent. smells like honey to me? but not in a overly sweet way. kind of reminds me of the smell of old book pages.

A budget The Noir 29. And I mean that in the best way. If you like that fragrance but not the price tag, get this! You won’t regret it.

This is my favorite of the Salt and Stone body mists. And I have already run out of it. Sexy dark rose and oud lingers.

This is amazing masculine scent! Perfect for spring and summer. I can’t see any women pull this off.

I happened to buy salt and stone black rose and oud spray after I ordered the deodorant and it worked really well (although left huge oil-pit stains on all of my scrubs) It is similar to Casa Blanca, but casa is much smoother, maybe brighter? Black rose and oud stays prettyboozy and very peppery IF it’s hits the skin. Stays just as it is on clothes. It also kind of reminds me, a tiny bit, of the water in a vase of roses after it’s sat for a week and the roses are a lil’ droopy. I still like it so much. Both are a smell that might be thought of as a house or candle smell. Both are eternal on skin and clothing. The deodorant alone is so impressive, I wish it didn’t stain. Edit: the deodorant is absolutely eternal, the spray is not. I was mistakenly assuming my scent was from the spray.

This very much warrants a skin test if you like fragrances like Casa Blanca or Thé Noir - I find this one to be not a perfect dupe by any means, but a very similar vibe - sister, not twin! This smells far more expensive than it is and performs incredibly well considering it’s a body spray. It has great sillage and moderate longevity. Perfectly unisex. I will say, I bought this for my husband and it does not mix well with his body chemistry; on him, I don’t like the smell of this much, but I tested it myself and it smells very different! The oud is much more subdued on me, which I prefer. I would recommend skin testing this since it seems to be particularly variable.

The body spray is everything the reviews say it is — an accurate but lighter version of The Noir. Yay for us. HOWEVER, the lotion smells like literal cigarette butt water. Its the couch in your great aunt's basement who smokes like a chimney. Its been there for at least 20 years. Its grimy yellow floral print, possibly waterlogged, slightly waxy to the touch. DO NOT buy the lotion, lord have mercy I dont even care if you like that kind of thing I want you to stay away from the lotion do not buy the lotion. We're going to forget the lotion exists now and move on with our lives. Amen.

This smells luxe and sophisticated. The rose is muted and a little dark, but I mostly notice the oud, which is smooth and woody. I don't get any smoke or pepper on my skin. I was surprised at the lasting power, though I did layer the hand lotion underneath it (sampled both at a store). It doesn't project far, however I do catch whiffs occasionally when moving my arms, and can still smell it very well directly where it was applied, 5 hrs later. I find it unisex, and would find it best suited for fall or winter.

I used to own a bottle of The Noir 29 but it was too strong and gave me a headache so I gave it away. I tried this in Sephora the other day and it's almost identical! For a body mist, I was surprised by the sillage and how long it lasted (4-5 hrs). This is a perfect, lighter alternative for Le Labo and it'll save you some cash too.
