The review

Exotic Rose scores 5.9 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Radical Rose.

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

It is sold as an eau de parfum, the strength most designer originals are sold at.

Strength7.5
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength French Avenue publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Matière Première Radical Rose is pink pepper and bergamot at first, rose absolute and geranium at its heart and oud, patchouli and musk at the end. French Avenue set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • pink pepper
  • bergamot

Heart

  • rose absolute
  • geranium

Base

  • oud
  • patchouli
  • musk
Grasse rose absolute deepened with oud and patchouli — velvety, bold and thoroughly current.
