One of Grugeon's top picks is this gem from Lancôme. In addition to its base notes of patchouli, papyrus, and incense, the fragrance also blends together heart notes like orchid, strawberry, and of course, essence of the black rose. It's nicely rounded off with fruit-forward pear, bergamot, and tangerine. "This fragrance provides a new way to look at and experience the addictive smell of rose," she explains.
