- Long-lasting scent
Radical Rose by Matiere Premiere is a dark, resinous take on rose, an eau de parfum built to feel mineral rather than pretty. Pepper and saffron open it sharp and spiced, then centifolia and damask rose take over, dense rather than delicate. Labdanum and patchouli close it out, dry rather than sweet, closer to stone than to a bouquet of flowers. Launched in 2020, it suits anyone, worn by men and women who want rose without the sugar. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, in the evening and at night. Most wearers vote its longevity long-lasting. The sillage vote leans strong, holding its ground into the night. A 3ml decant is enough to see whether this darker rose suits you before you buy more.
