Dark Rose by Czech & Speake, is an eau de parfum that takes inspiration from the beginnings of perfumery and the rare ingredients and traditions of the Arab and Indian world.

Relaunched in 2018, with a higher concentration of pure aromatic essential oils, for a longer lasting experience, Dark Rose blends the Rose of Taif and the exceptional Cambodian Oud with a medium spicy note of saffron and delicate lily, creating a rich and forgiving of exceptionally high quality.

"I wanted to create a very rich and intense interpretation of the rose, a bold, complex and mysterious fragrance, far from the traditional interpretations of the western rose. I embraced the Middle Eastern techniques and incorporated many of the rare and prestigious ingredients that these cultures traditionally use. “Frank Sawkins, the founder.

Presented in a pharmacy bottle in pomegranate-colored glass and dark red exterior embellished with gold, it evokes the opulent fragrance and culture that inspired it.
