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.
This perfume earned itself a dedicated following before being cruelly snatched away. Expect waves of nostalgia, fervent pleas for resurrection, or confused disappointment if you ever manage to sniff a long-lost bottle.
