Radical Rose Extrait

Radical Rose Extrait is a spicy rose from Matiere Premiere, with woods, resins and amber giving it weight. Aurélien Guichard composed this extrait, released in 2024, and it is worn by anyone.

Pepper and saffron set the tone from the start, with a dry heat and a slightly leathery, golden spice. The rose at its centre comes partly from May rose, which brings a fresh, honeyed and bright petal note. Immortelle adds a curious warm, hay-and-maple sweetness. The base is dark and resinous: labdanum, including a Spanish variety, gives a sticky, ambery depth, and patchouli an earthy, woody backbone that holds the rose in place.

As an extrait built on spice, rose and resin, it reads as a rich and characterful scent, best kept for autumn and winter, evenings and occasions where a bold signature is welcome. It suits anyone who loves rose but prefers it dark, spicy and grown-up rather than delicate or dewy.
