YOU NEED TO TRY - RADICAL ROSE by MATIERE PREMIERE 

😂 Yep that'll do it! It's clear that you've enjoyed 'florals' from a young age. Great to hear from you Edward

Great to hear from you @Still a Great Night and happy to hear that this one is a winner for you too. And totally agree with you that a good floral fragrance compliments masculinity. I find that in a formal setting a beautiful rose fragrance is my best companion, more than a heavy wood or leather fragrance and definitely better than an aromatic fragrance (because that's what everyone else is wearing)....the rose fragrance always makes me stand out❤️ Thanks for reaching out @Still a Great Night, appreciate you jumping into the conversation👊🏽

Interesting @PhilosophicalDance🤔 I’m going to have to say that my wife, my sister, my mother, my daughter, my mother-in-law are all going to challenge your view on passion😂

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Ask them if they'd rather have the men in their bedroom passionate or passionless.

Totally agree with you on this Duncan...this is the GOAT when it comes to a beautiful Rose perfume. And YES! Like you, when I'm wearing it, it's a compliment monster!♥️

I love the polar opposites of the 2 main comments...'despise' and 'buy' 😂 Not sure if you've had a chance to test this fragrance @Deb. E but this is unlike any 'rose' fragrance that you might be use to....really extraordinary. If you do happen to purchase this one, I would love to hear back from you on your thoughts. Thanks for jumping into this conversation; great to hear from you

How good is Radical Rose🥰 but as you've discovered how good is the entire range😎 Very impressive collection! Great to hear from you @16Residence

Montale has neither oud nor rose, if were talking the real thing, lol

I would have to agree with you Ben. For me the stand out winner in that lineup is Radical Rose🌹♥️

I've discovered that I too have a soft spot for the rose note....I have a few in my collection. Thanks for the Andy Tauer recommendation, I'm going to have to hunt this one down and test it out. Wonderful to hear from you @ramy william, thanks for jumping into the conversation💫

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector You will absolutely love Andy Tauer , the guy is a genius with amazing craftsmanship.

I look forward to the day that you find your “perfect Rose”… When it does happen, I look forward to finding out which one it is♥️🌹…. I already know it’s going to be incredible! Wonderful to hear from you @Gen O

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I will definitely share when I find it!

All I got from your message Loz is that I am busting to go to Paris😩… hopefully you had an awesome time there💫 Did you get a chance to pick up any new fragrances?

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector thank you, yes.... Loumari Almeria, another stunner from them.. I was going to visit the Initio boutique on the day Paragon was launched, but my wife took ill, and we were due to head back to the U.K later that day, so I cancelled that idea.

Thank you Marvin! Appreciate the support and encouragement🙌🏼💫

Totally agree with you Leon💫. BTW, I love the word ‘Crikey’… Are you an Aussie or do you just love Steve Irwin? Great to hear from you mate👊🏽

Thank you Ben✨ great to hear from you

I have a feeling that this beauty was made for your nest😉… I know you’re gonna love this one Julio

Awesome choice Antonia....I love all things MFK. Great to hear from you

Happy to champion this mantra "Rose Is masculine!"😎 Great to hear from you @boybillythebutcher4575, thanks for jumping into the conversation👊🏽

In these tough situation Dylan I always opt for…getting them both😬 But in all seriousness, I would actually get Radical Rose first. I find that it’s a lot more versatile. Plays well in winter or summer. Whereas for me I prefer to wear Encens suave in the cooler weather. Good luck Dylan, great hearing from you👊🏽

Hi Dylan ! I am a new challenger in the "niche fragrance world"... 😅 i started 3 months ago and collected a dozen of EDP, EDT & Parfums until this day (yesterday i blind bought FM's "Dans tes bras") but i have one thing to say to you : my first blind buy was the underrated, best rated on Fragrantica and beautiful Iris scent "Ermenegildo Zegna FLORENTINE IRIS" ! 😎 Give it a try, i really think you could love it as an iris lover ! 😊👍 PS : I also tried all the Matière Première line... i own BOIS D'ÉBÈNE (😍) and offered NEROLI ORANGER to my wife ! Sorry for my bad english... 😅🇨🇵

@@barakguez9114 Florentine Iris is amazing. Probably one of the best iris for men. I adore the scent. I just wish they don't get rid the EDT (what a shame)

@@Dylant08 i own the EDP and (for my nose) it makes perfectly the job ! 👍

Totally agree with you Jai💫 this is an extraordinary house with some really unique fragrances♥️

Thank you Nancy🙏🏻💫

Thank you Sir🙏🏽

Welcome homie👊

I would be interested to know your thoughts once you get a chance to test this one out Juan…. as I mentioned in this episode I feel that a man can confidently wear this and still feel masculine. I haven’t had a chance to test the Initio’s fragrances so I’m not sure how the rose’s compare Great to hear from you my friend, thanks for reaching out👊🏽

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector will do that homie.

Thank you Bryan! Appreciate the support👊🏽

Thank you David🙏🏽 appreciate you taking the time to reach out💫

Totally agree Anna🥰

What an awesome combination Vera and yes, I can see that these would be magic together......especially in that wonderful Singapore climate🥰

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Yes! Its interesting actually trying out layering esp when testing out fragrances that I dont have a full bottle of! Cant wait to discover more!😄

Great to hear from you Cyril....yes, great idea. I promise that I'm going to do a line up on these guys.....great to hear from you my friend💫

You're going to love it @Drink POKCOME; it's a really impressive fragrance...and as a rose perfume this is one of the best out there. I love Rose Exaltante. I need to try out Agatho...this is totally new to me! Looks like an awesome brand. Great to hear from you; thanks for reaching out👊

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector 🥂❤️

Sorry for the very late reply Ricardo! It's been great reading other men commenting on how much they enjoy floral and rose fragrance's....totally agree with everyone. I need to hunt down Hermann A Mes Cotes Me Paraissait Une Ombre, the name alone sounds very intriguing! Great to hear from you my friend👊

Great to hear from you Van. Interesting that you find this one a bit more difficult to use…is there a particular note that stands out more for you?

Attention grabber? 😮

@@Dasani31 Yep this is a monster. 🤣

Totally agree @Alejandro Maestre✨ plus it's a 100% attention grabber❤️

@@alersito how monstrous compare to falcon leather? Trying to blind buy here 😂

@@Dasani31 i havent smelled falcon leather. But Radical Rose fill rooms. At the same level of Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle.

These are the questions that I love!!😇 I haven't tested or smelt a number of the fragrances that you mention here, but on the ones that I am familiar, these are my thoughts: - Portrait of a Lady: awesome fragrance, and I think one of the first 'rose' fragrance that crossed over to a masculine territory and gained notoriety for this. I like this one, but I my choice in this 'classic rose' composition would be Radical Rose - Radical Rose: as you saw in this review, this would be my pick for that clean, nuanced and complex rose profile....I love this one and feel that this is a must for everyone. - Oud Satin Mood: this is now 'rose' as a player in a grander story. Both Oud and Vanilla play equal parts in this composition and the 3 together create 'Pure Magic' However this isn't a 'rose' fragrance to my mind, it's a balance between all those other notes too Hope that helps a little @amaterasublack3519, good luck my friend💫

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector thanks for reply and knowledge marcelo... Respect bro❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yep, I agree with your comments here David. Being that you're familiar with the Rose note via Lyric Man, I would really recommend Radical Rose to you (nothing like Rose Centifolia...but also not like Lyric Man either)....I would be curious to know your thoughts once you get a chance to test. Great to hear from you David, thanks for reaching out

Great to hear from you Daniel, that is a very tough question! The 4 that I would recommend you check out is Parisian Musc, Radical Rose, Santal Austral, and Encens Suave… I have these four on constant rotation. Maybe one of these will work for you Once you get a chance to test I would be curious to know your thoughts. Thanks for reaching out👊🏽

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector thanks I will let you know. I fancy trying Roja Dove, Amber Auod, and Nefs first

Absolutely!! This fragrance 'sings' in summer. But know that it performs really well in cooler months too Good luck @AdilDad

Boom Baby!!💫 Good to hear from you Carlito👊🏽

Absolutely! Planning to review the “healthy” 😂 collection that I have on Matiere Premiere♥️… And yes Parisian Musc is one of the favorites Thank you for reaching out! Wonderful to hear from you👊🏽

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Haha excellent

Personally I love this one more. So short answer is 'yes' but I would recommend that you test first and see how this performs on you. Great to hear from you @BeastModeZone

​@@TheNicheFragranceCollectori'll try a sample for this, sounds amazing. Thank you very much. 😄

I really feel that this fragrance is the crowning glory of the House (even though Santal, Encene and Bois are equally amazing)....but I feel that this one is Aurelian's favourite child (even though a parent should never claim to have one 😬) As a rose perfume it's exceptional and really feel that this is a minimum in everyones perfume cabinet. How does he create that projection power? I have no idea Sem; but like you I'm impressed at the longevity, sillage and projection from this fragrance. It's present but not exaggerated and overbearing....always love wearing this perfume. One day I hope to interview Aurelian and I will ask him how is he doing this, because the formula is simple (even by his own words, he mentioned that he wants to keep the formula simple) but yet they're so wonderfully complex. Funny your question about layering. For some reason I wouldn't layer the Matiere Premiere. Even though the principle is the same as Perris Monte Carlo, I feel that these are more designed to be an 'expression' of the note, unlike the Perris fragrance where it's the multiple facets of the note....or maybe I just haven't tried, hence why I feel this way?? I'd be curious to know what you think and if you've layered these? Great to hear from you Sem, love reading your perfume journey with all these beautiful fragrances💫

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector An interview with Aurelian would be great! I also feel like this is the favorite child, and it would be weird if it wasn't, if you imagine the effort put into the organic Rose farm. French Flower is also gorgeous but I find it more female leaning.
