NEW from Frédéric Malle, "Dries Van Noten par Frédéric Malle"

[hawk]

"Dries Van Noten par Frédéric Malle" is to be released in February.

the Notes which look amazing: (quoted from fragrantica) citron, sandalwood, guaiac wood, saffron, Spanish jasmine, tonka beans, Cashmeran/blonde woods, vanilla and musk.

This sounds interesting: "Not only is the collaboration with a fashion designer news, it's also an innovation on the formula front, as the new Malle perfume is touted to be inclusive of a new, natural Indian sandalwood from a sustainable source. Indian sandalwood, for those who didn't know, had essentially been eradicated from perfumery in the last 20 years or so, due to concerns and regulations on the sustainability of the Mysore sandalwood. The news therefore is a leap of hope for the industry in general and sure to create a real peak of interest in the heart of every perfume fan out there. The new fragrance is an oriental woody, smooth and polished like the designs of Van Noten."

Thanks for the info.

Always love to see guaiac wood in a notes list! This sounds pretty good indeed. Thanks!

Interesting. Wonder what Van Noten knows about perfumery? Perhaps it's a collaboratibe effort with a perfumer.

The perfumer is Bruno Jovanovich ... He's unknown to me!

Why am I not excited about it

 

[dougczar]

Thanks for the heads-up... I will certainly have to give this one a try

Sounds interesting. Unfortunately my experience with sandalwood is limited (OS, MBI), and I didn't care for OS at all. I'm interested to see what Malle asked the nose to do with it.

I believe he did A&F Fierce. Other than that, dunno much of his work.

 

[alfarom]

Dries Van Noten is one of my favorite designers...I'm excited to smell this one.

 

[drseid]

I am definitely looking forward to this release for sure...

 

[DreamerII]

some day Malle should release a magnolia perfume (with C. Benaime), the perfume created with Grojsman and of cource the next one with Ropion

 

[Oupavoc]

Can't wait to try it.

 

[Mervin]

The fact that he created A&F Fierce is enough to have me excited alone!

 

[mikeperez23]

[Partario]

I'm optimistic.
