This is my second favorite fragrance from Frederic Malle. This is classic Patchouli Rose centered scent. Heavy but beautiful. Longevity is above average, huge projection. Well blended – with this one, everyone will notice your presence. I need another bottle. I already emptied 2 full 100ml bottles already.

Fermented apple dominates with a rose heart and dries down to a dry cypriol bomb! Fantastic!

Eine Kreation von Meisterhand komponiert. Sehr edel und harmonisch abgestimmt, schöne würze, leichte balsamische Noten Harze spielen eine schöne leichte Nebenrolle.
Habe mich in diesen Duft verliebt !

Masterfully mixed, complex, in the opening I detect sour apple. After that, everything is blended to perfection. It’s a really high level.
