Frédéric Malle Synthetic Nature is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Anne Flipo. Synthetic Nature opens with Lily of the Valley, Blackcurrant, and Basil, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Frédéric Malle's Synthetic Nature carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive green powerhouse. Some find it a hyper-realistic, invigorating blast of nature, others get a sharp, synthetic kick that's almost too much. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but undeniably unique.

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.

About

Synthetic Nature opens with a vibrant, almost aggressive burst of green, dominated by fresh basil and the bright, slightly fruity tartness of blackcurrant. Soon, a chorus of classic white florals, notably lily of the valley and hyacinth, emerges, adding a crisp, clean soapiness that underpins the verdant assault. The drydown settles into a subtly earthy patchouli, retaining a fresh, almost dewy greenness throughout. It's a highly stylised, unapologetically bold green fragrance.
