Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose Prick EDP
A daring, spicy rose that fuses floral opulence with rugged, earthy intrigue. For those who want their florals unapologetically bold and unforgettable.
Statement
Our Verdict - PRICKLY ROSE EDP
A budget spin on Tom Ford's Rose Prick, trading the original's blended pepper-rose complexity for a louder, flatter pepper-turmeric snap up top and a simpler, sweeter tonka-patchouli base underneath.
