What do reviewers say about Rose Noir and Água de Rosas?
This is not your grandmother's rose. Byredo stripped away every sweetness, leaving something angular and modern that refuses to play nice. Either you are drawn to its minimalism or you find it hollow.Rose Noir
Some rose fragrances turn sickly on skin. This one stays honest. May rose opens green and bright, never cloying, with a powdery violet heart that gives it a quiet elegance.Água de Rosas
