Frédéric Malle Rose & Cuir

The calm before the storm The fragrance begins with a very crystalline interpretation of rose - pure, conical, modern and uncompromising. A note of cassis and unique extractions of Pepper Timut and Bourbon Geranium give it a fresh and spicy touch. But behind the azure rumble mingled a barely contained storm: vetiver and cedar mix with a dark and earthy leather. A secret that comes from isoButyl quinoline - an intense and bitter molecule that is now forgotten, having been thrust into the spotlight by the bold perfume of the roaring twenties. Simultaneously shimmering and sober, this floral composition asserts itself with the wire of time and then allows a controlled sensuality to appear.
