Frédéric Malle - Rose & CuirThe Fragrance - The fragrance opens with a crystalline interpretation of the rose - pure, uncluttered, modern and uncompromising.
A note of blackcurrant and unique extractions of Timut pepper and Bourbon geranium add fresh, spicy touches.
But behind this azure sky rumbles a barely contained storm: vetiver and cedar mingle with dark, earthy leather.
A mystery that finds its origin in Isobutyl Quinoline - an intense, bitter molecule, now forgotten, but which was given pride of place by the daring perfumers of the Roaring Twenties.
At once shimmering and sober, this floral composition asserts itself over time, revealing a controlled sensuality.
