Frédéric Malle Uncut Gem

A uncompromising aroma with enigmatic charm. Uncut Gem, inspired by the Eau de Cologne worn by master perfumer Maurice Roucel, is a fresh, masculine fragrance in its purest form. Clear, spicy top notes of ginger, bergamot, mandarin, angelica root, and nutmeg gently lead to the sensual intensity of the heart notes—a leather accord, vetiver, incense, a wave of amber, and musk that vibrates with the skin. It is a perfume that plays with the old-fashioned rules of masculinity while drawing from its earthy power to create a beautiful and captivating moment. Maurice Roucel joined the Chanel lab as a chemist in 1973. He is self-taught and considers himself an explorer who wanders through formulas. He is known for refining his compositions, retaining only the essentials, and is distinguished by a unique signature: that of a hyper-sensual aesthete.
