What wearers say
“My favorite rose fragrance. It balances a mature feminine hippie rose, with a masculine sweet office one. And like most TF, I get a few hours of amazing projection, then a complete different dry down, then (my favorite) is random sillage of the opening notes throughout the day.”
“Just short of the rich complexity I expected from the notes - to me this opens with the usual whiff of alcohol, then fresh greenery, and finally a pleasantly dusty mix of rose, amber, and lipstick.Terrific longevity, and a very pleasant fragrance for the cold winter-into-spring period. Worth a try if you can find it at a reduced price.”
“Rose Prick is a spicy rosé patchouli done very well. The opening is a sharp burst of pepper and turmeric. It settles down fast into a rose and patchouli bomb. The dry down is sweet, powdery, and earthy. This is a good bold rose fragrance that doesn’t use oud which I like for the variety. This is one of the longer lasting TF fragrances. It lasts for days on clothes. I think a person of any age that wants to stand out can wear this. This is perfectly unisex to me. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I love this fragrance.”

Sillage
The clone lacks the sharp black pepper and grapefruit intensity of the original's opening, and the base is warmer and less mineral-driven due to sandalwood replacing cedarwood. Longevity and sillage are approximately 15-20% lighter on the clone.

Sillage
The clone's synthetic musk base is noticeably more prominent and less refined than the original's natural-leaning foundation, and longevity is approximately 2-3 hours shorter. The rose note is slightly sharper and less balanced in the heart compared to Tom Ford's more nuanced floral composition.

Sillage
The clone's heart leans more toward geranium rather than peony, and uses cedar instead of vetiver in the base, creating a slightly drier, less refined woody drydown. Top note citrus profile is also marginally different, with lemon replacing the original's grapefruit for a sharper opening.

Dua's version performs well on note accuracy but typically shows reduced longevity and projection compared to the original Tom Ford composition. The cedarwood in the base is often less pronounced, making the fragrance feel slightly more linear overall.

Sillage
The clone exhibits marginally shorter longevity and slightly reduced sillage compared to the original. The heart notes may lack the same sophisticated geranium-rose interplay, with the composition feeling somewhat more linear and less complex in its mid-stage development.
