Illuminum Black Rose Perfume by Illuminum, In 2011, the fragrance house illuminum introduced an oriental floral perfume for women called illuminum black rose. The scent begins with spicy and earthy flavors of black pepper, rose oil and cumin in the top notes before descending to the middle notes of saffron, moroccan rose and taif rose for a floral and spiced heart. The sumptuous base notes of sandalwood and frankincense combine to round off this very long lasting perfume with heavy sillage.
