Black Rose smells exactly like I thought it would when I first tested it a few years back: deep, rich, musky with a hint of sweetness. It's a big, bold rose. Slightly old-fashioned (which I see as a compliment) but doesn't feel dusty or soap-like. It's juicy, ripe. Voluptuous. Like a rose that's almost past full bloom.

I don't really get the amber from the description, which is a shame. On my skin it's definitely heavier on the musk. But there's a hint of something darker, almost incense-y. It's definitely sexy in a red-lipstick and all-black outfit kind of way.

Wear notes: it's heavy, definitely not a summer scent for me. Dry down is more musk than rose, smells great right through.

Definitely worthy of my full bottle.

Snooty Rose is my ideal kind of rose, It's elegant but has a surprising depth and complexity that takes it away from the average garden rose scent. It's deeply romantic, sensual and perfect for those who like their flowers with an touch of noir.

What starts off as a dewy, full-bodied red petals quickly morphs into a grown-up, woody rose. The plum note adds an almost jam-y element to Snooty Rose without making it smell fruity, on my skin there is also a hint of musk which gives the scent a gauzy feel. As it dries the sandalwood becomes more prominent and there is a touch of powder which fades beautifully over a few hours.

Absolutely worth a full bottle for me, and I'll be buying a replacement soon.
