Product Details If nature offers olfactive clashes tuberose is probably the best example of these. These pretty flowers exude an almost carnal smell superimposing in a quasi-miraculous way flower-shop freshness camphorous violence - spicy and animalic - and milky sweetness. This mysterious equilibrium has always fascinated perfumers. Frédéric Malle’s Carnal Flower Eau De Parfum took perfumer Dominique Ropion eighteen months to perfect and create a modern version of that theme. ; Dominique Ropion trained at the legendary Roure Bertrand Dupont laboratory before going to work with Jean-Louis Sieuzac one of the perfumery world's great technicians. What makes Ropion's work special is the mix of precision and freedom and his quest to create new harmonious accords by pairing ingredients that are polar opposites. An adventurer who abandons himself to instinct Dominique Ropion is also extremely rigorous in the final stages of the formulation of each of his fragrances. Top notes: water fruits (melon) and vegetal notes tuberose (fresh aspect) Base notes: tuberose (milky aspect) musk How To Use Frédéric 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.
