Fragrance / 2009Fragrance / 2009Dark Rose Cologne by Czech & Speake is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Dark Rose Cologne was launched in 2009. Top note is Litsea Cubeba; middle notes are Saffron, Rose and Lily; base notes are Musk, Agarwood (Oud) and Cedarwood. Dark Rose is a deeper, more mature fragrance, mixed with traditional attar (taken from the Persian word meaning essence) the most exotic natural fragrance for the soul. According to legend attar was discovered by the wife of the Mughal Emperor after her morning bath had cooled leaving a layer of the scented oil. The Emperor was so enamoured by the scent that he had the fragrance bottled.The spicy top note of saffron has been blended with Agar wood. This scent is developed over a wood fire and the aroma of the ashes permeates through the wood deepening the tones. It has a mesmerising, lingering heart note of rose, sandalwood and white amber, which lasts long after the head note has faded. These ingredients combine to create a rich, long lasting, balsamic heart. Introduced in 2009, available in 100ml Cologne.
