I've been on the hunt for a new signature scent and was intrigued by Frederic Malle's line, thanks to numerous beauty editors and fragrance sites that rave about the artistry and quality. This is...

I only discovered Frédéric Malle perfumes very recently and immediately fell in love with it! I already have Iris Poudre and Lipstick rose but I am already addicted to few others. As it is a...

Edit: it's the perfect weather for Eau d'hiver. My DH, who almost never comments on perfume since I have so many, commented on two separate occasions, on how good I smelt. It may also be that I am...

I finally bought the 3 travel sizes of this, unsniffed, from Aedes because I couldn't find anyone who would part with any of theirs :). I love it. Again, right up my alley. bergamot, angelica,...

L'Eau d'Hiver was love at first whiff. One of the best fragrances available. Soft, comforting, sweet, floral, light, classy, well-behaved, stays close to the body. Almost rosy and violet-like...

One of my eternal love affairs and with the ever so helpful cliché, a fragrance that is bigger than the sum of its parts. I fail each time I try to describe it to even myself. L’eau d’Hiver is full...

This is absolutely a emotionally charged scent for me. Though subtle it evolves beautifully . Salty and slightly peppery to begin becoming slightlycrunchy with white powder- yes, like fresh snow...

The top notes are sheer JCE style which appeals to me. Too bad the powder murdered all hope I had of enjoying this.

Like a slightly peppery version of Blanc, in that it's a cool sheer floral perfect for summer. Smooth and somehow white, like softly musk scented soap. It's rather lovely if very sheer, and I...

L'Eau d'Hiver is a skin scent that starts with bergamont and then decends into white powderiness. Initially, I feared that it would be too floral for me, but the honey and musk balance the forals...

This fragrance starts out smelling like an anthropomorphic cartoon flower (like the ones in Alice in Wonderland) chewing a piece of Chiclet gum. Then suddenly I smell nothing at all, as if the...

This is a very light fragrance but something in it annoys me, its smells like a very soft verbena although I see that's not actually a note. Anyway this is just blah for me.

Well... there had to be one. A complete bust. Ellena is human, turns out, and has bad days. Cloying synthetic powder without any of his signature transparence (and I speak of one who is never...

Very, very well executed Iris. It is really weird how it changes is worn in cold or warm temperatures! When it's cool outside, I get a powdery, cool iris, quite fleeting but sophisticated and...

I loath expensive fragrances that do not have lasting power. D'hiver is good for about 1-2 hours. Definately honey sweet. Does not seem to change much on my skin. It goes from being really sweet to...

L'eau D'Hiver is yet another Jean-Claude Ellena creation I can't seem to live without (along with Bois Farine, Vetiver Tonka, Angeliques Sous La Pluie and many more). Its opening is honeyed and...

Iris/musk + honey/vanilla. This is what the fragrance boils down to on my skin, and is the cool + warm combo that so many people enjoy. I was initially attracted to it, but with multiple...

If you were ever looking for a perfume that smells a lot like Lush's Snowcake soap (which is only available once a year at Christmastime), then L'eau D'Hiver is your gal. It's not an exact dupe of...

This is a beautiful scent, a little warm yet still a little crisp and lasts all of about 2.8 seconds on me and then pooof....its gone. Very disappointing. I was hoping it would re-emerge after the...
