Royal rose, green and fresh, with accords that make it gorgeous… but I still can’t call it my favorite. It’s feminine, sensual, and elegant. I wish I liked it more, but I don’t. Perfect for transitional seasons, formal events, and nights. Lasts amazingly well.

Antika by Darkbeat Parfums, thanks to José Manuel. Pleasant, warm, smoky opening with an animalic touch. After 15 minutes, as it dries down, an incredible rose emerges: musky, with a subtle salty note that dominates the scent. I don’t detect leather, but rather a soft, woody oud. Skin longevity: about 7 hours.

Darkbeat’s compositions never leave anyone indifferent. Their beauty lies in surprising the nose. A puzzling, curious, fresh, and citrusy opening with lots of mint and a resinous touch. At first, I didn’t like it; I thought it would be the first José Manuel fragrance I wouldn’t enjoy. But as the opening faded, the rose emerged: natural, dense, dark, almost spicy, and bolstered by leather. It’s elegant, nocturnal, seductive, sexy, powerful, and unisex. Noticeable trail, lasting 8-9 hours. For me, not very versatile, only for going out at night, though I’m sure it fits more occasions. I wish I had someone to seduce so I wouldn’t waste this masterpiece. Scent: 8/10, Longevity: 8.5/10, Trail: 8/10, Versatility: 5/10.

I absolutely love it!

I adore rose perfumes, and this is one of the most original I’ve tried. To the classic rose, leather, and musk blend, they add citrus and amber notes, bringing it closer to Amouage’s Lyric. The key is the mint, which is very prominent at first and gives it an unprecedented character: an intense yet fresh rose. Despite being fresh, it’s opulent and nocturnal. It reminds me of Mischino’s Toyboy, but fresher, more citrusy, and less spicy. A great alternative for rose lovers. Scent: 10, Longevity: 8, Projection: 7, Versatility: 9, Originality: 10, Overall: 9.5.

The most natural roses I’ve smelled in a long time… It’s as if you picked some petals and rubbed them between your hands. I also detect leather in the opening. Congratulations on this creation, Darkbeat!
