Which Should You Buy?
This isn't a shy little rose, it's a 'badass' statement. Matière Première's Radical Rose is a controversial one-off for some, but a bold, sophisticated masterpiece for many, often hailed as a sexier, more wearable alternative to POAL.
Divisive, powerful, and undeniably bold. Some find it a sophisticated, fiery rose-oud, others a synthetic, dated mess. If you're after a warm, alluring statement, this could be your molten hot ticket, but certainly try before you buy.

Occasions
Its strong projection and enduring longevity make it unsuitable for an office environment, but perfect for date nights or formal events where it can make a statement. The opulent, dark rose and spicy accords are too heavy for casual wear or sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and dark amber-rose accords make it too commanding for everyday office wear, but perfect for making an impression on a date or at an evening event. The intensity means it's not suited for casual daytime activities or sport.
