Massimo Dutti Strident Roses is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Grégoire Balleydier. Strident Roses opens with Cypress, Cardamom, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Amyris, Lemon, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Tonka Bean. Massimo Dutti's Strident Roses carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Strident Roses is a surprisingly understated take on florals, sidestepping cloying tradition for something fresher and more universally appealing. It's not a screaming rose, which makes it a pleasant surprise for those who usually shy away from the note.

About

This one kicks off with a crisp, aromatic cypress and the spicy bite of cardamom, mellowed by a hint of green artemisia. The heart introduces a subtle, modern rose - never overpowering, deftly balanced by a zesty lemon note and the creamy warmth of amyris. As it settles, a smooth sandalwood emerges, draped in the gentle, powdery sweetness of tonka bean, leaving a soft and elegant trail.
