Frédéric Malle 2026 EDP
Contre-Jour
Frédéric Malle Contre-Jour is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Annick Menardo. Contre-Jour opens with Immortelle, settles into a heart of Rose and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Frédéric Malle's Contre-Jour carries an Acquired verdict, a herbal-led wear.
Contre-Jour is Annick Menardo doing what she does best: a divisive, bold immortelle. You'll either love its dry, herbal complexity or recoil from its 'curry-like' punch. Not a blind buy, but a masterpiece for the right nose, confirming Malle's return to creative form.

Best Occasions
Its strong projection and enduring longevity make it less suitable for casual or office wear, where it might overwhelm. The complex, sophisticated profile and sensual accords lend themselves perfectly to formal events and date nights, where its bold character can shine.
