Description
Radical Rose Hand & Body Lotion by MATIERE PREMIERE offers a luxurious way to experience the brand's signature rose. This easily absorbed lotion leaves skin feeling satin-soft and beautifully scented with a spicy, dark rose character. It opens with bright, peppery saffron notes that quickly give way to the star, a rich Rosa Centifolia absolute. The scent then settles into a warm, woody base of patchouli and labdanum, creating an enveloping and sensual aroma that lingers. The concentration of fragrance in this lotion is notable, allowing it to be worn alone for a lovely rosy waft throughout the day or layered to enhance a matching perfume. Perfumer: Aurélien Guichard
