Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower

The 30 ml spray is elegant, simple, and practical. Our signature perfumes in a compact format. The design is inspired by modernity and conceptual art. In Bauhaus, form follows function: here, a simple black cylinder made of high-gloss PE plastic, a middle section of matte anodized metal, and a magnetic cap. An extremely practical container for our famous perfumes, both at home and on the go.

The perfume: If one claims that nature holds olfactory paradoxes, the tuberose is perhaps the most vivid example. This enchanting flower has an almost fleshy scent that astonishingly combines floral freshness, camphor-like intensity (spicy-animalic), and milky sweetness. Its mysterious balance has always fascinated perfumers. Thus, Dominique Ropion took 18 months to create a modern version of this fragrance theme. Achieving such dizzying heights is likely reserved for only the most talented perfumers.

The perfumer: Dominique Ropion learned his craft at the legendary Roure Bertrand Dupont laboratory before starting his work with Jean-Louis Sieuzac, one of the world's greatest perfumery technicians. Today, he is a star perfumer at IFF. What distinguishes Ropion's work is the blend of precision and freedom, as well as the constant search for new, harmonious accords in which he combines ingredients that are completely opposite to each other. An adventurer who relies on his instinct. However, Dominique Ropion is also very strict in the final phase of formulating each of his fragrances.
