A neoclassical perfume, vibrant and cosy, magnetic and radical, all at the same time
Iz poznate obitelji industrijalaca, umjetnika i parfumera, Frédéric Malle predstavlja treću generaciju specijalista parfumerije. Njegov djed, Serge Heftler-Louiche, osnovao je Parfums Christian Dior prije negoli je predao palicu kćeri, majci Frédérica Mallea, koja je postala umjetnička ravnateljica.
U prestižnim laboratorijima Roure Bertrand Dupont, Frédéric Malle susreće one koji će postati njegovim bliskim prijateljima u malom svijetu elitnih svjetskih parfumera. To prijateljstvo i poštovanje koje traje godinama jest glavni razlog zbog kojeg su mu se ovi umjetnici pridružili kada je 1999. godine osnovao svoje Editions de Parfums, tvrtku u potpunosti drugačiju, s potpunom slobodom za najveće parfumere našeg doba. Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle danas nude najboljim parfumerima priliku za prelaženje granica stvaranja i stvaranje parfema neusporedive kvalitete.
A neoclassical perfume, vibrant and cosy, magnetic and radical, all at the same time
Celestial romance.
The moon plays a leading role in conducting the rhythm of life in the Middle East, her ethereal appearance hailing the beginning and end of all festivity. Yet in Arabic, invoking the moon is also an allusion to romance — ‘my moon’; an adoringly grandiose term for one’s beloved that speaks of beauty and eternal devotion.
Exuding a warm, opulent quality, rose, oud and frankincense meet a surprising abundance of ripe red berries. In subtle evocation of the fruit-flavored shisha enjoyed across the region, the profusion of redcurrant and raspberry notes adds sweetness and color.A potent new moon.
Uncompromising, bold, filled with enigmatic charm.
Based on master perfumer Maurice Roucel’s personal cologne, Uncut Gem is an unapologetically manly scent, diamond-hard and absolutely fresh. Clear, spicy top notes of ginger, bergamot, mandarin, angelica root and nutmeg lead you to the sensual fire within: a leathery accord, vetiver, frankincense, generous amounts of amber, and a musk that vibrates with the skin. This is a scent that plays with the tired codes of masculinity while extracting their telluric force to create something beautiful and irresistible.
Maurice Roucel started his career as a chemist at Chanel’s Fragrance Laboratory in 1973. A self-taught perfumer who describes himself as “an explorer wandering amidst formulas”, his style is that of a sensuous aesthete and his signature is generous composition, in which he retains only what is essential.
Flipo retained the opulent basil of the original composition, along with a recomposed bouquet of hyacinth, lily of the valley, natural jasmine, and Ylang Ylang oil.
To modernize and sharpen, she then added synthetic black currant and styralyl acetate, effectively putting the bouquet through a glossy, sparkling filter.
Flipo simplified the Chypre and leather notes, resulting in a cleaner, more streamlined accord. Finally, she added patchouli.
At the fore, an emphatic reinterpretation of rose; pure, streamlined, uncompromisingly modern. Blended with a unique extraction of timut pepper, geranium bourbon and a note of cassis for freshness and spice.
At once sparkling and sober, a recognisably floral composition is shadowed by a dramatic, yet controlled sensuality.
In the Middle East, a promise made between two people is accompanied by the strictest honor code.
To trust and be trusted.
Vetiver Extraordinaire perfume appears in our after shave balm as a hint of comfort for your newly shaven skin. Cooled by a finishing touch of menthol, the balm’s woody freshness is an invitation to kiss and be kissed.
A magnetic field of woods: an unprecedented dose of Haitian vetiver essence, sandalwood, cedar and cashmeran, are bound to the skin by oak moss and musk and lifted by pink pepper, bergamot and bitter orange in a whiff of captivating freshness
Carefree elegance.
The essence of an extraordinarily charming man. One who is magnetic without even seeming to try: every gesture infused with a sense of humor and sophistication. Not a rugged, shouting masculinity, but an irresistible whisper.
A charismatic field of woods: an unprecedented dose of Haitian vetiver woven with sandalwood, cedar and cashmeran. Bound to the skin by oak moss and musk, and lifted by pink pepper, bergamot and bitter orange in a whiff of captivating freshness.
Charm in a bottle.
Unshakably high society.
Reminiscent of 1930s Paris, a time of innovation and breezy luxury; when design was sharp but art was the stuff of dreams, and family secrets were drowned wildly in champagne.
Elegance personified.
Consider perfume a portrait of its wearer: the sound of her voice, her gaze, the way she plays cards. At once timeless and resonant with today, here is a scent that speaks of her innate sophistication. Charm that emanates from within, boldly depicted without; an expressive portrayal of modern grace.
Beach samba nights.
Dancing on the beach, bursts of orange and blue in low light, crashing waves and the ecstatic laughs of the young and sexy.
An explosion of bergamot, tangerine and green apple against a lusty backdrop of cinnamon, musk and ambroxan.
A cocktail of clean sex appeal.
Depths of black.
Composed like a Rothko painting, where layer upon layer of somber notes form a deeper, more textured darkness. A thick coating of spices rests on a wooden base of sandalwood and patchouli; top notes of orange and geranium are subtly illumined by rose, which, like all masterful paintings, reveal that even darkness is made of light.
Unafraid of the dark.
Top notes: orange; geranium,
Middle notes: clove; nutmeg; cinnamon; pepper
Base notes: patchouli; sandalwood
At a party on Paris’ rive gauche, a woman’s fur coat is lifted from her bare shoulders, exposing her neck to the candlelight. Aware of many eyes upon her, she pauses, smiling to herself, before emerging like a conqueror from the shadows.
The music is in the detail.
Savage sex appeal.
Musc Ravageur enhances the magnetic aspect of musk with amber, vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood, at the total exclusion of floral notes.
An unapologetically sexy perfume.
For the man who wears a pinstripe suit with ease and self-assurance, whose highly sophisticated virility is tinged with artistic flair, and whose ruthless pursuit of seduction is somewhat of an aesthetic endeavor.
For the polished womanizer.
A floral sea breeze.
On a summer evening by the Mediterranean, gusts of ocean air find refuge in the salty spice of ginger lilies.
Reinforcing these salty notes, and sweetening them with orange blossom, yields a radiant perfume for sun-flooded terraces and balmy nights.
Seaside chic.
LIPSTICK ROSE
A star’s moment of privacy at her dressing table with her lipstick, which she spreads carefully onto her lower lip: grapefruit and violet sparkle above sweet notes of rose, iris and raspberry on a sensuous bed of vanilla and white musk.
A 1950s prophetic masterpiece that was kept hidden for half a century for being ahead of its time, worn only by the perfumer’s wife, until now.
Magnificent in her mystery
L’EAU D’HIVER
A warm cloud of iris, hawthorn and heliotrope pervades a transparent sea of bergamot and hedione to make a paradoxical “eau chaude”; a subtle, intimate expression of personal comfort.
Passion under ice.
A classic perfume that keeps its sensuous femininity enclosed in a sober shape.
A concealed satin lining of iris, musk and tonka bean is trimmed by cool, synthetic aldehydes for an aura of serene formality. Vetiver introduces a further quality of crisp chic, while decorative notes of rose, violet and ylang-ylang remind a stranger to see the woman beyond the surface.
Woman in a tailored suit.
Like the eccentric Englishman in a blue velvet jacket, pink striped shirt and a cashmere-print pocket square, this perfume is an extravagant unravelling of colors and textures.
A color palette for the bright and bold.
Raw masculinity.
For the man who would not normally wear perfume, who believes in naked attraction and relies on the simple seductive power of his rugged appearance.
The spicy freshness of pimiento, angelica and juniper flowers melts into a woody sea of cedar, patchouli and vetiver, bound by galbanum and frankincense in a mysterious enhancement of men’s natural scent.
Silent magnetism.
Unlike other white flowers that exude opulence, magnolia’s scent is citrus-fresh.
1960s sporty chic.
A moment of closeness full of promise and the addictive feeling of mutual dependency.
Tender sensuality.
Erotic naiveté.
Musk is notorious for having two faces: the pure and the wicked. Accentuating its binary character produces a perfume both innocent and irresistible, split between a clean cologne accord of lemon, bergamot and orange blossom, and a seductive white musk accord.
A show of innocence is not the perfume’s only source of trickery: its staggering concentration of musk overcomes the transient nature of an eau de cologne and renders the perfume indestructible.
Playful deception.
Blooming magnetism.
An initial impression of innocence and flower-shop freshness disperses to reveal a more lustful tuberose: these dark and spicy notes surrender in turn to ones of milky comfort, enhanced by white musk, to draw out tuberose’s aura of lingering sensuality.
Erotic flower.
An overdose of refined essence of bitter orange (or “bigarade”, as they say in Provence), embellished with cardamom and pink pepper on a woody base of hay and cedar, heralds a new generation of “eaux”.
A simple formula for an air of clean sophistication.
Eau de Cologne redefined.
Luxurious in its apparent purity, like a crisp white shirt: minimal and transparent. Yet beneath, lies an undercurrent of mischief. A sense of warm skin tone and clear-cut sex appeal that unfolds as it lingers. For those who believe that seduction is found in cleanliness and perfection, here is a cologne designed to renew its wearer with every splash.
An overdose of extremely refined bitter orange essence (or “bigarade”, as they say in Provence), embellished with cardamom and pink pepper on a woody base of hay and cedar, heralds a new generation of “eaux”.
An ocean of sophisticated freshness.
A watercolor sketch of angelica flowers tinted with spots of juniper berries, pink pepper and bergamot, on a vibrant base of cedar and white musk.
Beauty imperfected.
