Initio Parfums Atomic Rose EDP

Description

Atomic Rose is the rose with the volume turned all the way up. From Initio Parfums Privés' modern-niche stable (2019), it layers Bulgarian and Turkish rose over a creamy Madagascar-vanilla-and-amber base, amplified by Hedione and a clean amber-woods accord. Reviewers call it a dark, velvet rose, unapologetically loud and a little artificial in the best way. Where Parfums de Marly Delina is a plush pink rose, Atomic Rose is its deeper, more dramatic cousin.
