Description

Launched in 2008, Rose Noir remains one of the brand’s most provocative explorations, challenging the traditional innocence of the floral genre.

What does Byredo Rose Noir smell like?

Rose Noir is an Eau de Parfum belonging to the Floral Woody Musk family, offering a concentrated and long-lasting depth. It is a subversion of the classic rose, stripping away the garden-fresh sweetness to reveal a darker, more carnal intensity.

  • Top Notes: The fragrance opens with the sharp, citrusy bite of Grapefruit paired with the ethereal, peppery clarity of Freesia, creating a bright but fleeting prelude to the darkness beneath.
  • Middle Notes: At its heart lies the Damask Rose, though it is far from delicate; it is a bruised, honeyed, and intensely concentrated bloom that feels both ancient and profoundly intimate.
  • Base Notes: The dry down descends into a shadowy forest floor, where earthy Moss and resinous Cistus intertwine with a skin-like Musk, leaving a trail that is primal, sophisticated, and hauntingly persistent.
