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.

The community verdict
An oriental floral with pepper, saffron and dark rose, Radical Rose settles into labdanum and patchouli.

Saffron may divide opinion.

The house
More from Matiere Premiere
Matiere Premiere is a Paris niche house, set up in 2019 by a perfumer from a Grasse perfume-making family, and its name, French for raw material, sums up the idea. Each perfume puts one ingredient in the spotlight and builds only what it needs around it. Parisian Musc is the clean, skin-close starting point, all soft musk. Encens Suave takes incense into warm, spiced territory, and Crystal Saffron makes saffron the centre of attention. Radical Rose is rose at full volume, warm and spiced. Fans of vanilla get Vanilla Powder and its richer Vanilla Powder Extrait. Across the range you also meet benzoin, labdanum, heliotrope, coconut and palo santo. Wearing one for a week tells you more than a quick spray on a card.
