Frédéric Malle French Lover, Sample
A supremely romantic and classy men's fragrance from this luxury French fragrance house. Famed perfumer Pierre Bourdon has woven his magic once again in this rich and seductive scent, combining rich spices with precious woods and oakmoss for a strident and energetic masculine fragrance.
As the fragrance opens, the sharp, green bite of galbanum mingles with an array of spices, creating an invigorating and lively introduction. This initial burst of freshness soon gives way to a heart that is both intriguing and complex. The dry, slightly peppery character of angelica intertwines with the warmth of cedar, while incense offers a smoky depth that evokes a sense of mystery and refinement. These mid notes blend seamlessly, creating a heart that is as dynamic as it is sophisticated.
The dry-down reveals a base that is earthy and grounding. Vetiver lends a gritty, woody texture, enhanced by the dark, mossy presence of oakmoss. White musk adds a soft, clean finish, rounding out the composition with an understated elegance. This interplay of notes results in a fragrance that exudes a confident allure, enveloping the wearer in a veil of timeless sophistication.
