Rose - Flap the hundredth and last.
The rose... a beauty whose fragrance is probably one of the most widely used essences in the perfume world.
There are probably as many interpretations and combinations as there are petals on a flower. Certainly even more.
After a long search, many samples and almost coming to terms with the fact that the rose and I at the center of a fragrance are unlikely to become friends, I lost hope of finding "the" rose fragrance for me.
And then came Radical Rose. Radical and unexpected, in the form of a sample from a good friend, which has since become a bottle.
Rose fragrances in which the rose takes center stage have so far been either too sweet, too old-fashioned, too soapy or simply reminded me of mature, mink coat-wearing, wealthy ladies. So far, there has been nothing that I think suits a man in his thirties or that my nose likes.
Radical rose has nothing to do with any of this. The fragrance opens with a dark and, in my opinion, masculine rose. The opening is accompanied by a slightly sweet saffron note. A far cry from cotton candy and sticky. Pepper and labdanum, which contribute a soft spiciness, are omitted from the spice cabinet. The patchouli gives me that certain something here, which has a
dark chocolatey and rounds off the entire composition perfectly. Everything is perfectly interwoven and balanced without any disruptive factors.
The fragrance surrounds its wearer with a wonderful, warm aura that is neither too aggressive nor too reserved. Rather self-confident and elegant. Rose can be and stay like this for me!
