The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, Rose Prick by Tom Ford is a chypre floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Guillaume Flavigny. This composition opens with the unexpected brightness of Sichuan pepper and turmeric, which cut through the heart of May rose, Bulgarian rose, and Turkish rose. The base notes of patchouli and tonka bean ground the scent in earthy warmth, creating a tension between freshness and richness that is both intriguing and complex.
Apply this fragrance lightly to avoid overwhelming its nuanced composition. The spicy top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so it’s best experienced close to the skin rather than from a distance. This scent is particularly well-suited for cooler evenings when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
