What does Radical Rose (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Radical Rose has strong longevity and strong sillage. Most voters pick fall, then spring and winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards evening and night-out wear, with some leisure use as well. It reads slightly more feminine than masculine, though plenty of voters call it masculine.

The scent is built on Rosa centifolia absolute and saffron, giving a warm, slightly sweet floral texture. Jamaican pepper sharpens the spice, Spanish labdanum adds a resinous softness, and Indonesian patchouli brings an earthy, woody depth. The fresh accord stays in the background of all this richness. Bvlgari Le Gemme Gyan and Paglieri Venetiae have a close profile.
