Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Radical Rose Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Ta'if Eau de Parfum

A bold rose-saffron-honey combo, Gallivant's Ta'if has stirred up quite the fuss in certain circles. Is it a copy or a clever homage? That's up to you to decide, but don't knock it until you've actually smelled it.
