Layering Tip

Spray the heavier scent first, then the lighter one on top. Start with two scents — more than three quickly becomes muddled. Always test on skin first.

AI Review Summary

Synthesised from fragrance data

Rose Prick delivers exactly what its provocative name promises - a fierce, thorny interpretation of rose that's far from your grandmother's floral. The trio of rose varieties gets a sharp, almost metallic edge from turmeric and Sichuan pepper, creating an intriguing spiced accord that feels both beautiful and slightly aggressive. With solid 6-8 hour longevity and moderate-strong sillage, it commands attention without being overwhelming. This polarising fragrance suits confident wearers who appreciate unconventional florals, though the 4.1 rating suggests it's more admired than loved. Best reserved for cooler months when its spicy intensity can truly shine without becoming cloying.
