Real talk
There's a whole subgenre of dark rose-leather fragrances. Most just gesture at intensity. BLACKSTAR lives it, the raspberry opens like a dare, then leather and frankincense take over and don't let go.BLACKSTAR
This is rose and oud done with unusual care and subtlety. The dried fruits thread between them, adding sweetness that prevents either note from dominating.More Than Words
