Carnal Flower

by Dominique Ropion

Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Dominique Ropion. Carnal Flower opens with Eucalyptus, Melon, Galbanum, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Coconut, Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Animalic, Amber, and Musk. Frédéric Malle's Carnal Flower carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

A modern legend in floral perfumery, Carnal Flower is a mesmerizing, photorealistic tuberose that feels both untamed and elegant. It is lush, green, and narcotic, demanding attention with every luminous, camphoraceous breath.

About

Carnal Flower is a magnetic and photorealistic white floral that reinvents tuberose with a rush of cool eucalyptus and lush melon. The opening is green and dewy, evolving into a narcotic bouquet of tuberose, jasmine, and creamy coconut, all wrapped in a veil of camphor and subtle animalic musk. Radiant, fresh, and slightly sweet, it is both sensual and ethereal, conjuring moonlit gardenia and garden air with a haunting, lingering beauty that is as daring as it is refined.
