Frederic MalleUne Fleur de Cassie

The rare and exotic cassie flower is not easily tamed. Intoxicating, bestial, bordering on coarse, its fragrance is from another era: the Thirties, when women dared to wear voluptuous, disturbing scents. Using such old-fashioned ingredients as mimosa absolute, jasmine absolute, cassie absolute and rose absolute, with carnation as counterpoint and a vanilla and sandalwood base, Dominique Ropion has achieved a very precise, contemporary translation of this theme from the past. Rich, intricate, complex - like a haute couture gown. UNE FLEUR DE CASSIE was made for connoisseurs.
