About black rose
The black rose, often a symbol of mystery and elegance, translates into a captivating fragrance note that is neither entirely natural nor commonly found in nature. Its scent profile is crafted through perfumery mastery, evoking the essence of roses at their most plush and velvety. While real black roses do not exist, this note is often achieved through a combination of deep, rich rose essences and other floral or spicy notes to give it depth and complexity. It's a favorite in high-end and niche perfumery for its ability to add a luxurious and enigmatic layer to fragrances.
Synthetic Alternatives
Black rose as a note is predominantly a creation of perfumery, using a blend of natural rose essences and synthetic molecules to achieve its signature dark, velvety floral scent. It combines the art of traditional rose scents with modern perfumery techniques.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly in the heart of a fragrance to introduce a sense of mystery and depth. It pairs well with lighter floral notes to create contrast or with woody and spicy notes to enhance its inherent richness.
