Fleur du Mal

by Quentin Bisch

Dries Van Noten Fleur du Mal is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Quentin Bisch. Fleur du Mal opens with Peach, settles into a heart of Osmanthus and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Suede and Amber. Dries Van Noten's Fleur du Mal carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This peach and suede concoction by Quentin Bisch is a proper divisive one. For some, it's a classy, sensual work of art, a "clean girl gone dirty" with a unique fuzzy peach and luxurious leather. For others, it's a musty, waxy disaster, smelling of old shoe stores or even horse stables.

About

Fleur du Mal opens with a surprisingly realistic, juicy peach, balanced by the delicate, apricot-tinged warmth of osmanthus. This fruity-floral heart is swiftly grounded by a sophisticated, creamy suede that provides an unexpected depth. Hints of sensual jasmine weave through, all resting on a soft amber base that gives it a luxurious, skin-like quality.
