Our verdict on Rossy de Palma de Protection: Statement

This is a bold, divisive rose fragrance, with some finding its metallic edge fascinatingly 'bloody' or 'wicked', while others are put off by its intensity. Definitely not a blind buy.

Its potent projection and unique, sometimes challenging character make it less suitable for office wear. However, its sophisticated and sensual profile, often described as 'dark' or 'romantic', makes it perfect for dates and evening events. Casual wear is possible if applied lightly, and it's too intense for sport.

About

Rossy de Palma de Protection opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of ginger and pepper, quickly joined by a vibrant, almost metallic rose. Geranium adds a green, slightly herbaceous facet, deepening the floral heart. As it settles, a dark, earthy base emerges with patchouli and smoky incense, softened by a whisper of cacao, creating a mysterious and complex rose experience.
