This is classified as a women’s fragrance. But it’s so masculine. The violet is present but it’s really more of a green, herbal animalic leather. I appreciate it. It’s fun to have I my collection, but I can’t wear it. And that’s saying something, because I can often wear almost any unisex or women’s fragrance. But this one is just too abrasive to my nose with my chemistry. Still, I’m very happy to have it.

The name says it all. Well…and the house. Frederic Malle never makes bad perfume.

Perfect, light and dreamy opulence.
