Damask and Turkish rose hit immediately in the opening — full, saturated, almost brutally floral, sharpened by pink and Sichuan pepper that add a genuine bite rather than decorative spice. The heart keeps that rose in focus while jasmine deepens it without going powdery. Dry-down is where it earns the oriental tag: tonka bean and vanilla warm the base into something almost edible, with patchouli grounding it just enough to prevent sweetness from going cloying. Projection is bold for the first two hours, then settles into close, skin-level sillage — intimate but persistent — Fall and winter evenings; wears best on someone who wants a rose that refuses to be polite.
Higher-accuracy interpretation with near-identical note breakdown. Longevity runs 3-4 hours vs Tom Ford's 5 — the trade-off for a closer opening.
The mainstream Rose Prick dupe — triple-rose heart is recognisable, sichuan pepper opening less sharp than the original. Good everyday rose-forward wear.

Dupes are rated on two independent dimensions: scent accuracy (how closely it matches the original) and longevity (how long it lasts on skin). Scores come from owner reports on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones and Fragrantica, and each is marked community-scored, provisional or not scored. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
