Rose Noir

Despite the name, Rose Noir from Ahmed Al Maghribi, released in 2021, is described by people as sweet, woody, musky, fresh and citrusy all at once, with about half also finding amber warmth; it is a blended, rounded scent rather than a single-flower one.

Sicilian orange and ginger open it with a bright, slightly spicy zing, and sea notes add a clean, salty breeze. Jasmine sits at the centre, soft rather than heady, wrapped in powdery notes. The base is where the sweetness lives: vanilla bean, ambergris and sandalwood give it a creamy, warm, slightly salty depth, with cashmeran adding a smooth, velvety wood and musk keeping it close and clean.

Marketed as feminine, it is a comfortable, versatile fragrance that bridges fresh and warm, which makes it easy to wear across the seasons, by day or in the evening.
