CARNAL FLOWER

An initial impression of innocence and flower-shop freshness disperses to reveal a more lustful tuberose: these dark and spicy notes surrender in turn to ones of milky comfort, enhanced by white musk, to draw out tuberose's aura of lingering sensuality.
 
“Ropion is one of the world’s greatest connoisseurs of flower evaporation, an encyclopedia as far as this is concerned, for years we talked about creating a perfume that would be incredibly true to tuberose flowers.” - Frédéric Malle
 
Top notes: Water Fruits (Melon), Vegetal Notes, Tuberose (Fresh Aspect)
Base notes: Tuberose (Milky Aspect), Musk
 
Perfumer: Dominique Ropion
 

- Carnal Flower contains by far the highest concentration of natural tuberose in the perfume industry.

- It took Dominique Ropion 18 months to create a modern version of this theme, an "olfactory Everest" that only the most talented perfumers can achieve.

- The Perfumer: DOMINIQUE ROPION
 
Dominique Ropion is a daring perfectionist, a true inventor. The risks he takes are invariably accompanied by a relentless pursuit of exact olfactory balance and flawless composition. His perfumes are like great architectural feats: in the same way that a bridge, whose seemingly miraculous suspension of weight is in fact a harnessing of counteracting forces, Dominique often balances excessive doses of powerful ingredients with meticulously-measured, subtler accords, until the composition holds up on its own. A good perfume, he likes to say, must always appear obvious. This is master perfumer Dominique Ropion at his best: bold, inventive, yet immaculately precise. Magnetic, timeless - the portrait of a lady.
