Rose Noire Absolue by Giorgio Valenti

I was really surprised when I smelt this fragrance, simply delicious, provocative, daring. I fell totally in love with it. It starts with an explosion of spices and mint mixed with a subtle rose, but it evolves with ambery notes emerging mixed with leather and cinnamon, its duration is approximately 6 hours with medium to high sillage, my friend ShiseidoTactics mentions that it reminds him of Lolita Lempika and me too, but without the sickening anise note, actually it reminds me more of Ultra Male, it could be considered a unisex fragrance. I am very happy to have purchased a bottle and I may go for more…

I am very happy to have purchased a bottle and I may go for more…

It has just arrived. First of all, the design is very well cared for, pretty and aesthetic packaging with a very pretty box and a bottle that resembles a rose with a thorn on the cap, very nice bottle and comfortable to use. As for the first impression of the fragrance, since it was a blind buy, it is Rose in all its splendour as its name indicates, mixed with spices, mint and fruits. I think it could be unisex but so far it behaves well. As soon as I got home wearing it, my wife told me I smelt very good, and with only 30 minutes of wearing it I’ve already received two compliments from women. Nothing like what I have in my collection. As always, after a month of use I will update, but so far it does not disappoint, although personally for me it is very unisex. Update: now with more than 2 months of use I can give a more concrete opinion, and yes I really like the opening, it is a spiced mint with a touch of rose that then takes total centre stage, I mean the rose. It has very good projection at the start, then it gives me about 2 hours of good projection, then a more personal bubble. As for longevity, about 6 to 7 hours, which is very good for its price, and quite a few compliments, questions like what are you wearing, how good you smell are the compliments for this one, and a beautiful bottle. For wear, I see it for any occasion, and although it is versatile it behaves better in cold weather, on an afternoon or evening. In short, I highly recommend it, this is my rating: Presentation: 9/10 Projection and sillage: 8/10 Longevity: 8/10 Scent: 8/10 total: 33/40. Note: In some reviews they say it is niche, I didn’t know and I’m not sure about that, but the truth is I don’t care about that, what matters is that there are fragrances that give you so much for so little, this is one of them, beautiful design, one of the most beautiful in presentation, careful box design details, beautiful bottle and very good fragrance, compliments galore, I will truly order another one when this one is finished, I totally recommend it, oh it’s a bomb at the opening, it projects and leaves a very good sillage.

Arrived beautifully; the packaging and bottle with its rose and thorn are a luxury touch. Upon opening, it’s a fresh rose with spices, mint and fruit; it smells super unisex. My wife and two girls have already asked me what I’m wearing in under half an hour. After two months, I confirm it starts with spiced mint and then the rose takes over. It projects strongly at first, then stays close to the skin for about two hours, lasting around seven hours in total, which is incredible for the price. Ideal for fresh evenings. Total: 33/40. I’m not sure if it’s niche, but it gives so much for so little and I’ll be buying it again.

It left me speechless; it’s delicious, bold, and provocative. I’ve become obsessed with it. It begins with an explosion of spices and mint paired with a soft rose, but evolves into amber, leather, and cinnamon notes. It lasts around six hours with a strong trail. A friend says it reminds him of Lolita Lempicka, but without that dizzying anise; to me, it smells more like Ultra Male. I believe it’s unisex. I’m very happy with the purchase and certainly plan to buy more.

Just tried it and it brings back memories of Lolita Lempicka au Masculin. Seeing it so cheap, I’m going to buy it to evaluate it properly, but I can already tell the rose is there, accompanied by a bouquet of spices that take centre stage.
