OCTAVIA MORGAN LOS ANGELES

 DARK ROSE Eau de Parfum

I am a 35 y/o Asian female. I love different scents for different purposes. For everyday, I like to wear a light scent. This scent is definitely one I would wear on a special occasion. The bottle and packaging is definitely on the simpler side for the price point of this perfume but the scent is super concentrated. I spritzed once and I can still smell it hours later so you definitely have a lot of longevity. It has a wonderful gourmand aroma that develops over time. One definitely catches the floral scent as well as the vanilla and plum undertones. The pink peppercorn notes round out the scent.

This scent is incredible. This is and will always be one of my most favorite smells for a sexy/sophisticated occasion when I want to stand out of in crowd ESPECIALLY for the price. It's honestly a hidden gem and I like it that way. After hearing so much about how sexy this fragrance was, I had to get it. The fact that it was also unisex was intriguing as well. The fragrance is bold, with a sweet decadent plum aroma that packs a punch and for me that note is the main character. Following with a deep warm vanilla. It lasts a very long time and it's ridiculously strong! But not at all migraine inducing. It dries down to a fruity, sexy patchouli. If you love Patchouli, you will be OBSESSED with this. It also wears for at least 12 hours on me and projects! When I wear this, you can not help but it smell it. This scent is mouthwatering. 

Quite literally the most complex fragrance I have ever experienced. The first spray left me speechless as each layer of the notes took its time presenting themself. Just wait for it! Truly an experience as it went through about 3 phases that led to the final dry down sent. Its bold, commanding, sexy and alluring, yet also soft and feminine. Although pegged as a unisex it doesn't lean masculine at all. The smell is long lasting and fills a space with ease making it perfect for anytime wear. I've worn for errands, date night, brunch, and even for a workout(I couldn't stop reaching for it).If you want the attention of a room, this is the scent for you. The subtle spice of the peppercorn met with the vanilla and plum is chefs kiss. The rose is not as forward of a scent as you would with the name like Dark Rose. Easily my new signature fragrance.

From the first spritz, I was met with notes of black rose and plum, blended with a subtle touch of the spice, provided by the pink peppercorn. Dark Rose immediately set a mysterious, romantic aura for me. I absolutely love it. This perfume is floral, but not your typical sweet floral, it leans towards more sultry, elegant vibes. What really made this fragrance impressive to me is how natural the dark rose smells. It doesn't feel artificial or overly sweet, it's as if she bottled the essence of a dark rose garden. As worn throughout the day, the deeper notes of vanilla and earthy patchouli do unfold beautifully. I'm a reader, and it makes me feel like I'm stepping into the pages of gothic romance. Think... crimson petals, antique novels, and soft candlelight. An observation I made was that when applied onto the skin, the fragrance lasts about 5 hours. But, if you want to extend it, spray it onto your clothing, this way it lasts longer, (approx 8 hrs for me). I also like that the perfume is cruelty-free, and made with minimal, high-quality ingredients. If you're looking for a perfume that is beautifully seductive and absolutely unforgettable, Octavia Morgan's Dark Rose is it.

The Dark Rose by Octavia Morgan Los Angeles is a beautiful eau de perfume packaged in a heavy, luxurious yet simplistic-designed rounded glass bottle. The scent is aromatically strong on its own without the need to be layered with body lotion. Just love the charming combo of pink pepper and plum (main notes) along with rose (middle notes) and vanilla + patchouli as base notes. I would say that it's great for wearing during both day and night daily. Spraying the scent once in the morning around my wrists, neck area, and on my clothes is already good enough to last through the day. The scent is still very noticeable even after showering the following day. Once settling down for several hours, it would become more on the velvety and creamy side like a soft, warm embrace.
