Radical Rose (2013 Original)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Radical Rose is a bold, uncompromising rose that feels both classic and modern. Aurélien Guichard uses a centifolia rose absolute from Grasse, giving it a deep, honeyed richness. The opening is a burst of pink pepper and raspberry, but the heart is all rose—intense, jammy, and slightly spicy. A base of ambroxan and musk keeps it grounded and surprisingly wearable.
