Frederic Malle Perfume & Cologne

In the early 2000s, most cosmetic companies were focused on brand image and the use of celebrities to create perceived quality in their products. It’s at this time Frederic Malle entered the scene, refocusing on the actual product being sold. This is when he founded Editions de Perfums Frederic Malle and veered the entire industry back to the focus of offering luxury perfumes and scents.

Frederic Malle perfumes are unique and embody all the elegance and power modern women want. Some of the most popular Frederic Malle perfumes include:

• Portrait of a Lady (2010): An audacious scent with notes of black currant, amborxan, white musk, Turkish rose, and clove.
• Eau de Magnolia (2014): Magnolia scents are challenging to get right, but thanks to the crisp citrus scents added, the fragrance isn’t overly dominant or too subtle to disappear.
• Une Fleur de Cassie (2000): Featuring notes of Cassis, vanilla, mimosa, carnation, and sandalwood, this scent has a feral undertone that is luxurious and elegant.

Most of Frederic Malle fragrances are considered unisex; however, there are some overtly masculine options, including:

• French Lover (2007): Think green woods with this fragrance that includes notes of white musk, oakmoss, incense, spices, and cedar.
• Vetiver Extraordinaire (2003): This fragrance features a spiced crispness with notes of bergamot, pink pepper, myrrh, musk, and bitter orange.

Frederic Malle luxury fragrances offer some of the longest-lasting scents you can purchase today. They are ideal for office wear or for the nightlife.
