Rosé Noir
by Gallagher Fragrances
Rosé Noir by Gallagher Fragrances delivers a bold, dark interpretation of the classic rose-oud theme, transforming it into a powerful, modern noir scent. It opens with a strong, oiled leather and smoky oud presence, accented by metallic and rubbery notes that give it a sharp, almost synthetic intensity. The honey, plum, and vanilla add a sweet, juicy depth that balances the darkness, while the rose and sandalwood emerge in the dry-down, adding a smooth, velvety richness. The fragrance has a significant presence—both in sillage and longevity—and performs best in colder months, particularly winter, where its depth and intensity shine. It’s a highly polarizing scent, best suited for those who embrace strong, unconventional fragrances and enjoy the sophistication of dark, leathery-woody compositions with a hint of sweetness.
