CARNAL FLOWER EAU DE PARFUM 50 ml

eau de parfum

Blooming attraction. The initial impression of innocence and florist's freshness dissolves to reveal a voluptuous tuberose: These dark and spicy notes in turn gradually give way to a milky comfort, enhanced by white musk to reinforce the sensual aura of tuberose. Erotic flower. Carnal Flower contains by far the highest concentration of natural tuberose in the world of perfumes.

• Top notes: water fruit (melon) + vegetal notes; tuberose (fresh aspect)
• Base notes: tuberose (milky aspect); musk

Dominique Ropion

Dominique Ropion is a bold perfectionist, a true inventor. The risks he takes are always accompanied by a tireless quest for exact olfactory balance and flawless composition. His fragrances are like great architectural masterpieces: In the same way that a bridge whose seemingly miraculous suspension of weight is actually the bundling of opposing forces, Dominique often balances excessive doses of powerful ingredients with meticulously measured, more subtle accords until the composition carries itself. A good perfume, he likes to say, must always appear obvious.

His training began at Roure Bertrand Dupont in Grasse, continued in Paris and culminated in a partnership with Jean-Louis Sieuzac, whose astonishing, encyclopedic knowledge of perfumery made him one of the greatest technicians in the industry. Frédéric Malle worked with him for more than 25 years and accompanied him through many phases of rigorous experimentation. Together they defied the conventions of perfumery to create modern masterpieces.
