Tom Ford Rose Prick

3.03 Star

Mr Ford loves to push the boundaries of fragrance and marketing. But how does Tom Ford Rose Prick really smell… and is it worth your ยฃ218?

Why We Love It:

This isn’t just any kind of rose fragrance, this is one inspired by Tom Ford’s very own rose garden. Casual.

Now, I’m not a huge fan of florals but this one is a pleasant (but not hugely exciting) surprise. The initial spicy opening very quickly pops to become a fresh and fortified bouquet of roses. You might think that its development stops there butย [thankfully]ย Rose Prick levels out and dries down to a warm and rounded caramel-like base.

I’ve been a big fan of the Tom Ford special releases like Tom Ford Lost Cherry and Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous. They’ve both been statement fragrances that say, “I have the cash and the attitude to pull this off,” but this one is just a little ‘meh’.

For the price tag, the performance is poor. Weak projectionย and a disappointing longevity.ย Sure it smells nice, but nice is the word. Pleasant but forgettable, much like the person that last bought me a bouquet of roses.

For ยฃ218 for 50ml, my advice would be to stick with the Tom Ford classics.ย ย
