Matiere Premiere Radical Rose Extrait

Description

Radical Rose Extrait is the concentrated, after-dark version of Matière Première's audacious rose. Aurélien Guichard folds Croatian immortelle absolute into the same overdosed Rose Centifolia base, saffron, pepper berries, patchouli, and labdanum, pushing the composition darker and more mineral. Reviewers compare the move to what Frédéric Malle's extrait reissues do for his EDPs, same skeleton, more shadow and depth.

How It Differs From the EDP

• Radical Rose Extrait (this bottle), the 2024 concentrated edition, enriched with Croatian immortelle absolute as a guest ingredient. Darker, spicier, and more mineral than the EDP, with noticeably longer staying power.
• Radical Rose EDP: the original 2020 release: fresher, lighter, and more versatile for daytime.
• Choose the Extrait for evening depth and maximum longevity, the EDP for daytime versatility.

Scent Character

• Smoky & Resinous: 50% (patchouli/labdanum base. This house has no true agarwood note in the formula)
• Floral: 25%
• Spicy: 25%

Translation: an overdosed rose wrapped in smoky, resinous patchouli and labdanum, sharpened with saffron and pepper, not a sweet rose.
