Frédéric Malle Une Fleur de Cassie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Dominique Ropion. Une Fleur de Cassie opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Musk, Jasmine, Mimosa, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vanilla. Frédéric Malle's Une Fleur de Cassie carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Un Fleur de Cassie is a divisive masterpiece of classic perfumery, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent with an almost polarising animalic edge. For the connoisseurs, it's a sensual, elegant yellow floral; for others, a shocking, dusty, even dirty experience. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:

While some find it gentle enough for daily wear, its powerful florals and animalic nuances make it more suited for evenings and special occasions. The vintage, rich character leans away from casual or office settings, fitting better into more dressed-up environments or intimate moments.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It pulls you in with the lush, pollen-dusted sweetness of mimosa and jasmine, intertwined with the sharp, green bite of redcurrant leaf. Aldehydes add an initial soapy sparkle, quickly giving way to a rich, powdery core. As it settles, warm sandalwood and a soft musk emerge, rounding out the bold florals with a hint of vintage creaminess and an underlying animalic intrigue.
