Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Royal rose, green and fresh, with accords that make it beautiful… yet I still can’t call it my favourite. It’s feminine, sensual and elegant. I’d love to like it more, but I don’t. Ideal for intermediate seasons, formal events and evenings. Lasts wonderfully.
Antika by Darkbeat Parfums, thanks to José Manuel. Pleasant, warm, smoky opening with an animalic touch. After 15 minutes, during the dry-down, an incredible rose appears: musky, with a subtle salinity that dominates the entire fragrance. I don’t detect leather, but rather a soft woody oud. Longevity on skin: around 7 hours.

Darkbeat’s compositions never leave anyone indifferent. Their beauty lies in surprising the nose. A puzzling, curious, fresh and citrusy opening with lots of mint and a resinous touch. At first, I didn’t like it; I thought it would be the first José Manuel fragrance I wouldn’t enjoy. But as the opening faded, the rose emerged: natural, dense, dark, almost spiced and reinforced by leather. It’s elegant, nocturnal, seductive, sexy, powerful and unisex. Noticeable trail, lasting 8-9 hours. For me, not very versatile, suitable only for going out at night, though I’m sure it fits more occasions. I wish I had someone to seduce so I wouldn’t waste this wonder. Scent 8/10, Longevity 8.5/10, Trail 8/10, Versatility 5/10.

At first, I didn’t like it; I thought it would be the first by José Manuel I wouldn’t enjoy. But once the opening passes, the rose appears: natural, dense, dark, almost spiced and bolstered by leather. It’s elegant, nocturnal, seductive, sexy, powerful and unisex. Noticeable trail, 8-9 hours. For me, not very versatile, only for going out at night, though I’m sure it suits more occasions. I wish I had someone to seduce so I wouldn’t waste this marvel.

I love it so much!
I love it immensely!
The most natural roses I’ve smelled in a long time… It’s as if you’ve picked some petals and are rubbing them between your hands. I also detect leather in the opening. Well done on this creation, Darkbeat!
I adore rose perfumes and this is one of the most original I’ve smelled. To the classic blend of rose, leather and musk, here citrus and amber notes are added, bringing it closer to Lyric by Amouage. The key is the mint, very prominent at the start, giving it an unprecedented character: an intense yet fresh rose. Despite being fresh, it’s opulent and nocturnal. It reminds me of Toyboy by Mischino, but fresher, more citrusy and less spiced. A great alternative for rose lovers. Scent: 10, Longevity: 8, Projection: 7, Versatility: 9, Originality: 10, Overall: 9.5.
