Description
Goya Black Rose was originally launched by the founder of Goya, Douglas Collins, in the 1950s. After extensive research, which turned up the original formula at the Amersham Museum, and in consultation of Christopher Collins (son of founder Douglas Collins and heir of the Goya brand) and the suppliers of the original formula’s oils, Goya Black Rose was re-launched by Beauty Brand Development in 2014.
Goya Black Rose by Beauty Brand Development is a Floral fragrance for women. Goya Black Rose was launched in 2014. Top notes are bergamot, cloves and green notes; middle notes are rose, geranium and damask rose; base notes are jasmine, salicylates and musk.

Goya No. 5 was the first perfume I used at age 12 when I was living in England. I loved that fragrance so much and felt very grown-up wearing it. I’m so sad that it apparently has been discontinued.

Old fashioned in a lovely way. Mum’s makeup bag, powder and lipstick. Such a comforting and nostalgic smell, you just have to keep burying your nose into your skin
NEO2010 – :
Mmmm, a sweet and light delight.
This has a vintage feel, like holding a gorgeous rose bouquet, would be fabulous for a wedding, it is romantic, with subtle sensuality making it suitable for all ages.
This is real rose, not the cheap rose geranium which is often used in substitute.

This is certainly a nostalgia-fest for anyone of a certain age.
Starts off with a strong, spicy rose blast, dries down into a perfumed powdery old style foundation rosiness, lasts forever.
Used to come with an endless array of associated products – rose shaped soaps, scented lipstick, dusting puffs like big pink roses, etc.
Loved it for years and this re-release is wonderful.
Now if only someone would recreate Yardley’s Sea Jade.
As an aside, the owner of Goya, Chris Collins, (he inherited the business from his father, who had a great interest in fragrance) was a very unusual man, with the dual talents of being a fearless, world class horseman and having a brilliant mind for creating beauty products, a somewhat rare blend in one person.

Remember the original from when I was a very small child. Therefore for me it is the ultimate comfort scent for the nostalgia factor. It is also a pretty fresh rose scent but with great longevity. Recommend if you can pick it up at a reasonable price.

Gorgeous. Long lasting and beautiful.
