More about Frederic Malle Carnal Flower
Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle is a 2005 floral eau de parfum by Dominique Ropion, built around an unusually generous dose of tuberose absolute. Eucalyptus, melon, bergamot and green galbanum give the opening a cool, almost camphorous lift, before tuberose unfolds with jasmine, ylang-ylang, orange blossom and a creamy touch of coconut. White musk, amber and a faint animalic warmth carry the flower into a lush, radiant drydown. Opulent, unisex and unmistakably white floral, it suits spring and summer days as well as evenings out.
