A red rose pressed into ink and set alight.
Blackcurrant sharpens the opening before a smoky rose takes over with incense and a black ink accord, and aldehydes and opoponax carry the base.
Perfumed by: Bertrand Duchaufour
KSI Take: The ink accord is genuinely unusual and stops this being another gothic rose. The metallic aldehydes read cold and a little harsh for the first stretch, which will divide people.
