The packaging looks like the cover of a Baccara pulp novel. And that's no exaggeration! The bottle is a frizzy mix of wannabe Lancôme and 80s department store cosmetics for more mature folks. Again, no exaggeration! And the content-
Top note shamelessly copied from YSL "Rive Gauche": An aldehydic powderiness that is hard to grasp. The heart shamelessly copied from YSL "Paris": A lot of rose soap and antiquated romance. With a ton of very cheap and somewhat stale baby powder on top. In the base, just a piercing powder shock.
Rose Noire??? Yeah, right. This is a sharp-synthetic powder monster without any sense of shame! I have no idea when one should wear something like this. Maybe if you want to make yourself look infinitely older? If you're keen on a dry throat and coughing fits?
But the stuff is interesting, no question about it.
How so? What’s that? Is the stuff interesting? If it makes your throat dry and causes coughing, you probably can't really use it as a fragrance but more as a psychological test? ;-))
