Rose Prick from Tom Ford Private Blend is a confident, slightly thorny rose built around three roses, Rose de Mai, Turkish rose and Bulgarian rose. Sharp Sichuan pepper gives the opening its spicy bite, and the floral heart is then wrapped in patchouli and tonka bean for a deeper, more sensual finish. The compact 30ml Eau de Parfum travels easily in a handbag and is unisex, at its best on autumn and winter evenings with two or three sprays on the pulse points.
