Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose EDP

Paul Smith Rose is the ultimate fresh, 'straight from the garden' rose that dodges all the usual 'old lady' criticisms. It's a crowd-pleaser and a definite hidden gem, though be warned: some find its green tea note a bit too sharp or synthetic, and performance is a bit hit or miss.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Rose Brut Extrait

A fresh, green take on Matiere Premiere Radical Rose. Rose Brut captures the dewy, natural rose direction reasonably well but is simpler and less crystalline than the original's precise, mono-material rose focus.

Its fresh, clean rose and green accords, plus moderate sillage and longevity mentioned in reviews, make it highly versatile for casual wear and office settings. It's perceived as delicate and inoffensive, suitable for nearly any daytime activity, though it lacks the gravitas for formal events.
