The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by Matière Première, Radical Rose is an Oriental Floral fragrance created by perfumer Aurélien Guichard. This composition opens with a bold and fresh spicy rose note that cuts through the air, before transitioning into a warm, earthy heart of patchouli and woody accords. The base notes of amber lend a deep, sensual warmth to the overall blend, creating an olfactory experience that is both intense and comforting.
For best results, apply Radical Rose to pulse points. The fresh spicy notes will fade within two hours, but the warm amber base continues to develop on skin for several hours. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves throughout the day.
