Do you want to know more about this perfume?
It opens with Damask rose and black plum, juicy and slightly liqueur-like, with saffron giving it a warm edge. In the heart, Moroccan rose comes in and, with it, birch tar and leather: the rose turns smoky and gains texture. The base of patchouli, dry amber, cedar, and smoke leaves it dark and dry, without extra sweetness.
Dark Imagination is a leather floral eau de parfum from Discothèque, the house founded between Los Angeles and London by Jessie Willner, Hanover Booth, and Whitney Moulton. Each perfume starts from a city, a year, and a club: this one is Marrakech in 2003 and Theatro, which the brand says was the first music venue in Africa before becoming a club and has hosted Yves Saint Laurent, Grace Jones, and David Bowie. Fragrantica credits the composition to Elodie Durande.
It calls for night and cold weather: autumn, winter, a long dinner. If you are looking for a fresh, clean rose, a garden rose in the morning, this is not it. In layering, Eye Contact shares leather and saffron with it and pushes it toward spice, and the saffron of All Night Until First Light opens it toward a brighter citrusy finish.
