Great slightly rose darker cousin of Signature / Signature Noir, well done
Zaharoff’s latest release is Signature Halfeti Black Rose, a fittingly dark rosy fragrance that’s perhaps suited for those that do not typically love rose. It’s definitely reminiscent of both the original Signature Pour Homme and Signature Noir as far as the main DNA—a mix of dry, fresh, spicy, and sweet aspects fostering a modern signature scent. Take away some of the sweetness, add some rose, add some darkness, and different nuances, and that’s the connection I get to Signature Halfeti Black Rose. Compared to Signature Rose, SHBR is much less sweet and jammy and resinous, a darker, more nighttime-signature-scent type of use. Evolution-wise, it predictably starts off a little sharper, much like the original Signature, and dries down a little smoother. I think for many this is a logical choice to spice things up from the original Signature while not veering into the iris-led sharpness of Noir, a really great third option that provides a bit of rose but not too much to overwhelm.
The pricing is excellent as always, $195/150 for 120/60ml, with superb performance as well, sold via the house website.
