Frederic Malle Outrageous! is not an aptly named or branded product. It is not outrageous in any sense, nor does it really represent Malles' Editions des Parfums very well. That said, I don't...

Peppery floral very like a cross between Blanc and Apres Les Ondee. Light, sheer springy floral. The only good word is ethereal. Not sweet, over-flowery or sugary in any way. A dreamlike garden...

I too was so looking forward to this because I have great spring memories attached to lilac and rain in the spring time. But, as others have already written, there is an underlying aqueous and...

I detest this fragrance! I used to work at Barney's & the FM rep would walk around spraying Carnal Flower. It's much too green & reminds me of air freshners in public restrooms. I like my white...

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...

For the life of me I can not understand why this has such a high rating. It does smell exactly like lipstick, and not a nice one. Like the cheap waxy smell of the ones I bought at the drugstore...

This is a fun, young, playful fragrance and it seems pretty unisex. Upon first sniff, it smells VERY fizzy and effervescent (sp?) a lot like some sort of gingerale based cocktail with some...

Words can't even describe. But I'll try.
I was at an event with Frederic Malle when I first smelled this (I asked him what he suggest I try first and he selected CF). So when the man himself...
