More about Matiere Premiere Radical Rose
Radical Rose by Matiere Premiere is a 2020 unisex Oriental Floral Eau de Parfum, a dark, gothic rose that strips Centifolia bloom of all sweetness. Aurélien Guichard grows the roses himself in his Grasse fields. The top notes of pepper and saffron open with a dry spark, the heart notes bring Centifolia and Damask rose, and the base notes of labdanum and patchouli darken the whole. It is a chypre-leaning take that feels mineral and a little vintage, and it carries the mood of nights of fog, autumn skies and hand-grown petals. Smoldering and elegant, Matiere Premiere Radical Rose gets most of its wear in fall and winter, once the light fades. It suits anyone who wants a serious, unsweet rose with a shadowy edge, and who likes a floral that leans dark, dry and a little resinous rather than soft and sugary.
