SIGNATURE HALFETI BLACK ROSE

Halfeti Black Rose is an eau de parfum by Zaharoff, the American house founded by George Zaharoff, which draws inspiration from its founder's travels, sourcing fine ingredients from all over the world. It is a deep, mystical and sensual resinous floral amber scent that redefines the rose genre with a bold, decisive character.

The Fragrance

Halfeti Black Rose was born after three years of work: George Zaharoff set out with Master Perfumer Claude Dir to develop a Halfeti Black Rose from scratch, a flower unlike any other. The name pays tribute to Halfeti, a town in Turkey famous for its roses of a colour so dark they look black. It is a perfume that evokes the image of a black flower hidden in a forest of thorns: mysterious, seductive, unforgettable. It belongs to the Signature Collection, the line that holds the house's DNA.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is spicy and aromatic: black pepper and basil meet the freshness of bergamot. In the heart the queen of the fragrance blooms: Turkish rose and black rose are wrapped in the softness of the cashmere accord, cedarwood, amber and tonka bean. The base is dark and resinous: cypriol, olibanum, oud, labdanum, vetiver and musk leave a deep, mystical and long-lasting trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Signature Halfeti Black Rose To

We recommend Halfeti Black Rose to those who love roses with a bold, dark character, far from the more classic romantic interpretations. It is perfect in autumn and winter, for evenings and important occasions. Mainly masculine but suitable for everyone, it wins over anyone who loves intense, resinous and out-of-the-ordinary perfumes.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Halfeti Black Rose is a rose that does not ask permission: dark, resinous, almost mystical, it has a depth that reveals itself layer after layer. It is the perfume that changes the mind of anyone who thinks roses are too delicate.

FAQ

What is the Halfeti black rose?
Halfeti is a small town in south-eastern Turkey known for its dark roses, which give the perfume its name. In the official pyramid both the black rose and the Turkish rose are listed as coming from Turkey, and together they form the heart of the fragrance.

Is Halfeti Black Rose a men's fragrance?

What is the difference between Halfeti Black Rose and Signature Pour Homme?
Both open with black pepper and contain oud, but Halfeti Black Rose puts Turkish rose and black rose at its centre, over a base of cypriol, olibanum and labdanum.
