Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Picky Rose Eau de Parfum
This ain't your grandma's rose. Picky Rose is a divisive beast: some find it a sophisticated, powdery floral, others a 'smokey' mess. If you're after a clean, sweet rose, look elsewhere. For those who can ride its spicy, earthy wave to a sensual dry-down, it's a confident win.
Statement
Our Verdict - Porto Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Rose Prick (2020) - turkish rose, turmeric and patchouli translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Its bold and potentially 'smokey' character makes it less suitable for the office, but its sophisticated dry-down shines on a date or for formal events. The strong spice and earthy accords might be too much for casual daytime wear or sport.
