Music for a while-Frederic Malle Eau de Parfum Vapo

Year of Creation: 2018

Olfactory family: aromatic, fruity, oriental


At a party on the left bank of Paris, a woman's fur is lifted from her bare shoulders, exposing her neck to candlelight. Aware of many looks on her, she pauses, smiling to herself, before emerging as a conqueror from the shadows.
A sensual lavender body is warmed by patchouli, amber and vanilla and transformed by notes of pineapple and mandarin.

As the author of the legendary Polo Ralph Lauren perfume and many other beloved classics, he owes his success to a great intellectual curiosity that has always prompted him to embrace a world beyond the confines of perfumery. At the request of Frédéric Malle, Carlos created home fragrances for the first time; some of the best the industry has ever seen.

He discovered perfumery as a child through his father, who was a pharmacist in Morocco and had a passion for essential oil extractions. "Every summer," Carlos likes to say, "my father and I drove our Jeep across the countryside, in and out of the collection and distillation sites, and I felt his enthusiasm intensify." "Carlos later acquired a profound knowledge of composition. of perfume under the guidance of the famous American perfumer Ernest Shiftan.
