The review

Strong contender. That is where Thorned Rose lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Rose Prick.

ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Rose Prick's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $82 per 100ml it costs 90% less than Rose Prick — the 10th cheapest of 14 twins we can price.
