Rose Noir
Eau de parfum
A Damask rose darkened by moss, patchouli and cistus.
Rose Noir gives the Damask rose a dark, carnal character, far from the romantic rose. Byredo files it among its intense florals.
Cardamom, freesia, grapefruit and red berries open the composition. The heart gathers Damask rose, lily of the valley, raspberry, violet and jasmine. The base of moss, musks, patchouli and cistus labdanum gives it its earthy side.

Rose Noir in detail
Byredo, the Swedish house founded by Ben Gorham, takes the opposite view to the well-behaved rose with Rose Noir. The house files it among its intense florals: a Damask rose surrounded by red fruit and set on a base of moss and patchouli.
The very full official pyramid opens with cardamom, freesia, grapefruit and red berries, rendered as red fruits. The heart gathers Damask rose, lily of the valley, raspberry, violet and jasmine. The base pairs moss, musks, patchouli and resinous, almost animalic cistus labdanum.
Rose Noir is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter. Its earthy base makes it a rose with character, for anyone who finds classic roses too tame.
Three florals in our catalogue come close: Melón Malo by Born To Stand Out brings together Damask rose, red fruits, patchouli, cistus labdanum and musk; Elysium Pour Femme by Roja Parfums shares freesia, lily of the valley, jasmine and violet; 51 Pour Femme, from the same house, pairs lily of the valley, jasmine, raspberry and patchouli.
