Have you worn Darkwood Rose?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. From a travel set I got a while ago, this is a fragrance that opens with citrusy touches that I even perceive as spicy combined with an exquisite rose, after a while you can feel a very pleasant musk that in combination with the rose creates an addictive scent for me that makes me want to keep smelling it all the time. At times it also reminds me of the smell of tobacco, like when your fingers are left smelling like cigarette but not in an unpleasant way. The only downside I notice is that it doesn’t project that much, and stays closer to the skin and clothes.

    I got this from a travel set, and it’s a fragrance that opens with citrus notes I find spicy, paired with an exquisite rose. After a while, a very pleasant musk joins the rose, creating an addictive scent that makes me want to smell it constantly. Occasionally, it reminds me of the smell of tobacco, like when your fingers still smell like a cigarette, but nothing unpleasant. The only downside is that it doesn’t have much projection and stays closer to the skin and clothes.
