If you’re a rose fragrance fan and you like your scents to be classic, uncomplicated and just the right side of feminine, Goya Black Rose is a perfume I’d highly recommend investigating. I always love it when a fragrance matches up well using the bottle its contained in, that we think is really well demonstrated here, because the bottle is clean, elegant and classic, similar to the scent itself.
The Goya Black Rose is, as you would expect, a rose scent, that’s also slightly green too. Having read a few reviews, the general census is that you pick up the rose followed quickly by jasmine, but sadly I’m not getting the jasmine at all, which is a real shame as I love jasmine and I think if I had picked up more, I would probably love this fragrance a lot more. The problem I have is that I don’t often favour rose scents – there are a few that have grabbed me previously, but I don’t gravitate towards them, and I’m extra fussy about which of them I like. I can smell Goya Black Rose and completely understand why so many people like it, but for me it’s just a little too sweet and a little too heavy on the rose – obviously, fragrance is so personal and also the two things that I like least about this scent can easily be what many would like most, but for me, it’s just not doing it. If you like a strong, impactful, heady rose scent that’s sweet and juicy, the Goya Black Rose is a lovely fragrance to try. Find it here – – for lb49.99 for 100ml.
