Description
Radical Rose by Matiere Premiere offers a bold and modern interpretation of the classic rose, centered around an unparalleled concentration of Rose Centifolia from Grasse. It opens with a vibrant, spicy fusion of saffron, pepper, and berries, creating an intriguing and bright introduction. As the fragrance develops, the lush Rose Centifolia Absolute takes center stage, revealing its rich, velvety, and nuanced character. The scent then settles into a sensual and earthy base of patchouli and labdanum, providing depth and a sophisticated, slightly chypric warmth that grounds the radiant rose. This is a truly genderless rose, designed to be both powerful and refined.
