With Rosa Nigra, Unum invites us to imagine the following image: light falls on a marble sculpture and bathes it in brightness; it begins to dissolve, detaching itself from the weight and matter of this world until it becomes transparent. An image that they have transferred to a rose in this creation.
This rose composition resembles an anatomical structure: a bright, delicate and surreal rose emerges, beginning with tart, spicy notes of wormwood and aniseed and enveloped in a fruity hint of peach. Creamy sandalwood blends harmoniously with ethereal musk and cashmere wood in the base, rounded off by noble ambergris and delicately spicy vanilla.
Rosa Nigra, the black rose, nevertheless remains a product of the imagination, an unreal creation which, like the dissolving marble image, has only a loose connection to the material world and reality: the idea of a rose. Unum let us know: "The image is broken, now, after the transformation of the false rose. We experience a secret, enigmatic and opulent dimension. One must believe in this Rosa Nigra, for its form is only truly real in the imagination."
