Frederic Malle - Rose & Cuir by Jean-Claude Ellena

Tumultuous restraint. Upfront, an emphatic reinterpretation of the rose, pure, streamlined, modern with no compromises. Blended with a unique Timut pepper extraction, bourbon geranium and a cassis note for freshness and spice. Yet underneath a calm storm, vetiver and cedar form an earthy bed of dark and mysterious leather with IsoButyl Quinoline at its heart - an intensely bitter molecule, largely forgotten since its use in the daring perfumery of the Jazz Age. At once sparkling and subdued, a recognizable floral composition, yet shaded by a dramatic, but controlled sensuality.
