Prickly Rose

Alexandria Fragrances Prickly Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Prickly Rose opens with Sichuan Pepper and Turmeric, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Tonka Bean. Alexandria Fragrances's Prickly Rose carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This prick's got more than just thorns. A bold, spicy rose that's dividing opinions on its gender, Prickly Rose isn't for the faint of heart or those who prefer their florals sweet and simple.

The bold and lingering presence of amber and rose makes this a poor choice for the office, where subtlety is key. It shines on dates and formal occasions due to its sophisticated, sensual character, but is perhaps a bit much for casual daytime wear.

About

Opening with a fiery kick of Sichuan pepper and turmeric, this scent immediately grabs attention. It quickly gives way to a lush, dominant rose heart, a rich floral note that's never shy. As it settles, warm patchouli and creamy tonka bean emerge, softening the edges but retaining an earthy depth that keeps it from being overtly sweet. Think a dark, velvety rose warmed by exotic spice.
