Floris London Malmaison is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000. Malmaison opens with Lemon, Cinnamon, and Clove, settles into a heart of Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Floris London's Malmaison carries a Statement verdict, a spicy-led wear.

A divisive tribute to the spicy carnation, Malmaison is a powerhouse of clove and floral depth. It's not for everyone - some find it regal and bold, others too sharp or even 'sickly' - but it leaves a lasting impression.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong, long-lasting spicy-floral character makes it less suitable for a quiet office, but it shines in formal settings and evening dates where its unique depth can be appreciated. While some find it invigorating, it leans towards a more composed elegance than casual everyday wear.

About

Malmaison opens with a fiery blast of clove and cinnamon, electrified by a hint of lemon. This intense spice quickly deepens into a rich, heady floral heart, dominated by a magnificent carnation paired with classic rose and exotic ylang-ylang. The base unfurls with earthy patchouli, clean cedar, and a whisper of vanilla, anchoring the vibrant florals and spices in a warm embrace that lingers beautifully.
