Real talk
The name suggests sandalwood royalty. The fragrance delivers oud and leather instead. That's not a flaw, that's a statement: the royal house chose something darker, more interesting, more itself.Santal Royal
Black Rosette isn't a leather fragrance that happens to contain rose. It's leather first, mint second, and rose reveals itself last, if at all. That green-mint clarity keeps the leather honest.Black Rosette
