Frederic Malle Discussion Thread

Saw this on instagram today. I wonder if Rose Tonnerre would be the name of a new perfume.

That would be nice. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I believe they’re just renaming Une Rose…

Confirmed by Russian representatives. Rose Tonnerre is Une Rose renamed.

Dan's tes bras after Diptyque l'ombre Dan's l'eau shower oil - nice combination, makes it smell more like smoke incense and fir I think. (I only really use niche shower products due to work restrictions.) Either way haven't worn dtb in a long time, today 3 hrs in it's extremely funky-musky.

Thanks for posting this video - really enjoyable. I bought most of my FM's around 12 years ago when the first dozen or so were only available in the Dries van Noten boutique, so I still have all the the 'matte' top versions. I have picked up a few bottles of L'Eau d'Hiver since, still nice but I prefer my older version. Une Fleur de Cassie is still a personal favourite - takes me to a salon in Paris somewhere around the 1930's in my imagination.

I met FM a couple of times when he was here in HK awhile back to launch his range and the 'telephone box scent chamber' in Joyce (upmarket boutique) and also his candle line a few years later. Amusing, intelligent guy - very generous with his time. I think he stands up there with Serge Lutens and Chris Chong (a personal friend) as a 'Master Creative Director' in the perfume world . . . definitely a class act Publisher with an amazing bunch of friends Authoring the perfumes

I noticed that https://www.fredericmalle.eu/new-perfume this link says that the next perfume is by Jean-Claude Ellena. They could have not updated the page after the release of rose & cuir, but still.

I think that might be the case.

On a recent Instagram live stream, Frederic commented that the new fragrance will be by Maurice Roucel and launch in the Fall

I think that might be the case.

I'm very sorry to ask this bc I feel embarassed, but do you mean that it hasn't been updated or that the new perfume might be from Ellena? Sorry! Was just confused here.

That it hasn't been updated would be my guess.

 

[RawM.I.A.]

I agree with Hednic, but it does look like a new Malle is headed our way this Sept according to Eugen.
Thnx for the info @Peckerhead

 

[heavy black heart]

did he say duo?! Maurice Roucel?!

EDIT: not duo

 

[Winterfrost]

Thank you so much, @hednic!

 

[cazaubon]

I love Maurice Roucel but citrus & woods does not sound tempting. Will have to wait and see. I have not liked any of the last several releases.

[SPACEDOUT]

I appreciate the quality and creativity, but something about FM just doesnt work with me when i wear it. Idk. I gave it many chances, but it never works for me.

 

[UESNYC]

Store is right by my apartment I should pop in.

Let us know if your discovery there.

 

[Tourtiere]

I really appreciate the craft in FM fragrances, but I haven't found one that justifies the price.

Any further opinions on Uncut Gem? I've been enjoying sampling it and can't understand the lukewarm response. It's the first Malle release I've liked for years.
