Our verdict on Picky Rose: Statement

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.

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.

About

Picky Rose kicks off with a sharp, intriguing blend of Sichuan pepper and turmeric, a fiery introduction that quickly gives way to a bold, unsweetened rose heart. This isn't a delicate bloom; it's a mature, almost woody rose, deepened by earthy patchouli and a touch of powdery, vanilla-like tonka in the dry-down. It's complex, leaning into a modernised retro feel with its spicy, woody undertones.
