1.7 oz. Rose et Cuir

How to Use: Fréderic Malle believes people should spray perfume where they wish to do so. Some people wear them on their neck or under their wrist, while others prefer to splash or spray fragrances on their chest. Layering across scents is not recommended as our perfumes are each an olfactive work of art, crafted to stand alone and apart About the Perfume: Tumultuous restraint. 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. Yet a quiet storm lies beneath: vetiver and cedar forms an earthy bed of dark, mysterious leather with IsoButyl Quinoline at the center - an intensely bitter molecule, largely forgotten since its use in the daring perfumery of the Jazz Age. At once sparkling and sober, a recognizably floral composition is shadowed by a dramatic, yet controlled sensuality. Fragrance Notes: Top: Geranium, Blackcurrant, Bourbon Geranium Middle: Vetiver, Cedar Base: Leather accord About the Perfumer: Jean-Claude Ellena was born in Grasse into a family of perfumers. His training began at age 17, in the most prestigious laboratories - in Grasse, Paris, New York and Geneva - where he always saw himself as self-taught. He met Frédéric Malle at Givaudan Roure when he was working on Bulgari & apos;s Eau au Thé Vert. He composed one perfume a year for Editions de Parfums before joining Hermès. 1.7 oz. / 50 mL
