The dark, gothic rose you've been looking for.

Personal: 6/10 - It's interesting, but I'd never wear it. Rose is a bit too bold.
Mass appeal: 6.5/10 - It's a dark, woody rose. Not a crowd pleaser.
Performance: 6.5/10 - IT's solid. Lasts fine for something so floral.
Value: 5/10 - Indie pricing for something polarizing. Admirable craft, but you gotta LOVE it to justify it.
Uniqueness: 8/10 - It definitely isn't a generic rose perfume. Dark, moody, and experimental. I gotta give credit where it's due.
SCORE: 64/100

Full bottle buy? NO, too polarizing for me, and not wearable enough.
Blind buy? NO, dark rose is divisive, and this isn't cheap.
Recommend? YES, but only if you want a dark, gothic, moody rose vibe.
Date night? YES, I think the right person could pull this off as dark and seductive. I can't though lol.
Office safe? NO, too dark and unconventional for the boardroom.

Pros: Unique, moody, goth, chic, and atmospheric. It's rose with real character.
Cons: Too experimental for frequent wear. Not mass appealing, and steeply priced for what it is.

This feels like a gothic cathedral mixed with a setting sun over a rose garden. It's dark, moody, experimental, and sets a vibe. It's not wearable to me, but to the right person it is. This is perfect for any females who follow a gothic aesthetic, and enjoy something mysterious. I really respect it for what it is, but it isn't for me.

It smells like roses blooming in a graveyard. Cool to experience but hard to own.

*Review #52 in my fragrance journey - this fragrance I own as a decant*
