Frédéric Malle- is famous for an uncompromising approach to fragrance creation. Once we discovered this perfume master mind we dug up some interesting history on him. Enjoy...
Born in Paris in 1962, Frédéric Malle is the grandson of Serge Heftler, founder of Dior Perfumes. Thus, he was raised in respect for the perfumer’s craft, in the very heart of its traditions. After finishing his studies at the University of New York (NYU), he was asked by Jean Amic in 1988 to work for Roure Bertrand Dupont. At the heart of this company, he was initiated in all the secrets of the craft and came into contact with the greatest contemporary perfumers. Since 1994, Frédéric Malle, as a consultant to the world of perfume, has worked for clients such as Christian Lacroix, Chaumet, Hermès International, Mark Birley for Men... Already iconic are his creations Lipstick Rose, Une Rose, Iris Poudre and Cologne Bigarade...

Here are our top picks....
Lipstick Rose- "with its rose- and violet-flavored bonbon scent. LIPSTICK ROSE is a vision of glamorized femininity. You can almost picture his girl doing her makeup in a mirror. The fragrance's rose note is enhanced by violet; the backdrop is musk and vanilla with a hint of vetiver and amber."
Une Rose- "the intoxicating, earthy aroma of a garden rose pulled from the ground with its roots...with the carnal depth of a new truffle accord laced with woody and animal notes. A fruit and honey burst of Turkish rose absolute is punctuated with geranium and wine dregs. UNE ROSE- the master's rose".
Iris Poudre- "iris expresses raw classical beauty. Tonka bean, musk and vanilla bring softness and warmth, while the base of sandalwood and vetiver adds a melodious resonance. If IRIS POUDRE were a garment, it would be a cashmere sweater- classic but personal, appropriate for most occasions, something one never tires of. It is a grand floral aldehyde."
