[@fonzizib.2307]

Max Forti thanks!! I requested this video a couple of days ago and it’s out already. I want to explore this house, but I’ve never seen any in stores.

[@josephanthony1655]

Where can I purchase ?

[@h2008im]

Is there a similar to it or is it true that it resembles the perfume of the moon?

[@tonkacat]

I work for Frederic Malle and Musc Ravangeur is my favorite!

[@MaxForti]

Mine too!

[@derrickferguson8274]

hello, can i ask you some info about batch codes of malle? is there a way to see freshness? thank you

Smelled Music for a while and was blown away; bought it and then tried the Musc Ravageur sample I was given and now I love that too... my poor wallet.

[@Alexander_Tronstad]

Heh.. yeah... All I can say is.. stay away from their desert line. After sampling it was inevitable... ouuuch...

[@bryankoepke1358]

I only follow 5 fragrance KZbinrs and Max is one of them. Classy, passionate, intelligent videos. Bravo Max!

[@MaxForti]

Thanks Bryan, I appreciate it!

[@markchristopherralviz]

Love the video Max! If you can also please do a video like this from the Armani Privé line. I’d gladly appreciate it. Thank you.

[@tovlirami1711]

Great review thank you. PROMISE is wonderful. for me It is the next level of POAL. THE NIGHT is unique and chalanging.

[@MaxForti]

I agree - Thanks - PROMISE is Very unique and exotic!

[@junmiranda6368]

Promise or the Night?

[@chrismccall797]

That Musc Ravageur.........💫✨🌌

[@caseyplunkett6083]

I've been waiting for this video for a long time. Though I have heard they quality took a dip once Estee Lauder purchased the company I still do plan on owning some Frederic Malle fragrances.

[@Tomatohater64]

French Lover is without question my favorite from this house and it's not even close.

[@MaxForti]

Outstanding composition for sure!

[@kevinverspoor4796]

OK! my favorite is Le Parfum de Therese Edoumond Roudnitska to say he was brilliant is a huge understatement , That man had the ability to see the beauty that was hidden between the stars. I know that almost every perfumer in this group pretty basically worshiped the ground he walked on.

[@sergemunitz1153]

Great video, Max! Not a fan of thsi house but French Lover is something that's on my radar!!!

[@rizwanrahim2416]

Stunning pics..... Shams = Sun & Qamar = Moon are destined to be released soon ...may be in 2020 for Middle Eastern high end customers

[@keithohalloran8523]

Great video Max 👍🏻 I love love love niche musk and vanilla fragrances. Think I may need musc ravengeur in my collection.

[@spiridonk.898]

I just discovered Frederick Malle Parfums. I started with en passant. Smells like spring, its very feminine, very smooth,very expensive! Probably, i will be back!

[@Stephanie-gl8kv]

So informative. Well done. Thank you.

[@pullingthestrings5233]

My favorite is the night layered with portrait of a lady. It turns that rose into a very animalic rose and very masculine.

[@Toast0808]

I own four Frederic Malle fragrances: Carnal Flower, Bigarade Concentrée, Lys Méditerranée, and French Lover (Bois d’Orage). I’m male.

[@heshammalik5038]

Max, thank you for the informative video. At 7:45 the picture shows ‘The Night’, and not ‘Promise’ which you were discussing. Just mentioning it in case it was an editing error.

[@MaxForti]

it was an error - thank you for noticing and letting me know! 😊

[@liciomarfisi4868]

This is one solid & outstanding house...I ordered my bottle of Portrait of a Lady yesterday, my other favorites are The Night, Musc Ravageur, and Carnal Flower. What a treat this video man, thanks!✌️

[@MaxForti]

Thanks Licio.

[@hocineted7594]

Is musc ravageur good to wear for casual and with jeans

[@christophercooper149]

Great video Max! My favourites have to be Carnal Flower, Lys Mediteranee, and especially, Superstitious! I tried POAL and Une Rose and Musc Ravageur, but they were all very sweet for my tastes, especially since I live in Southern China where the temperatures are around 30-35 degrees C and humidity can reach 100%. Overall I think Superstitious is the most creative composition of the house, but I will also look to try out French Lover.

[@MaxForti]

Thanks for sharing Christopher. I need to try Superstitious!

[@marcustaichibana1621]

I really enjoyed the video and have been waiting for this one. My favorites from the house are Musc Ravangeur, Monsieur, and L'eau D'Hiver and more to explore. I would like to see a GBU video on Phenhalagon.

[@terrysmiles8599]

Very Nice max i just picked up Musc Ravageur! cant say i love this yet! Kind of weird smell! Guess i will try it for awhile and see what goes down! I am coming back to you max to say......I love it! Its awesome! just took a few hours of hanging out in the air conditioning! Smells great!

[@Ricklpz1]

Wearing Carnal flower! And people just love it! Huge compliments! My skin just loves it!

Thanks Miguel! :)

Noir Epices is one I really enjoy. Also Geranium pour monsior.

[@MaxForti]

I haven't tried noir epices!

[@rubycalabrese6548]

@@MaxForti I was surprised it wasn't on your list. I'm a Musc Ravageur lover and found Noir to be a close runner up

[@kevinverspoor4796]

NOIR EPICES fantastic!!!!

[@quintescential8344]

I was just thinking to myself I can’t believe I don’t have any Frederic Malle fragrances and Which ones should I test. I know I like musc ravageur, portrait of a lady and bigarade concentree.

[@chiang828johnb828]

Hey John, no worries - thank you for the compliment. I do watch what I eat (eat junk in moderation) and most definitely work out daily!

[@unboxingluxury1018]

I have POAL, Une Rose, Musc Ravageur and Carnal Flower. Im contemplating getting Lipstick rose and eau magnolia. Difficult to choose a fave amongst them because they are all quite unique in their own way.

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

Great house!

[@LuisLopez-ve1qf]

Hello Max I appreciate the work of Frederic Malle and his extraordinary collection with a great group of top noses, but I think all them are too much unisex a little bit oriented to feminine side, including Musk Ravager. And in my opinion the projection is shy in the most of cases. I prefer other houses such us Nasomatto, Orto Parisi or Creed. Congratulations for your videos. You are a great reviewer.

[@ericst-pierre4780]

I own portrait of a lady and if the package tracking is correct i will receive carnal flower wednesday :) I blind buyed POL and i like it but don't love it ...with the large amount of review i was expecting more a spicier or darker rose...but to me it's a very clean rose with a bit of spice in the backgound...almost fresh to me. But i d'ont just like it ...i like it a lot anyway ! i will give my impression on carnal flower later

[@toniadams945]

I’m a woman and Portrait of a Lady is my all time favorite. I get so many compliments from men when I wear it. The women fragrance KZbinrs I watch never have any Frederic Malle scents.

[@fullmetal1666]

I found out about Frédéric Malle Musc Ravageur because G Dragon uses it

[@DSCENTMY]

where do you found out?

[@justaddlight]

You're right on Max. Portrait of a Lady is good, but I was expecting a little more complexity from it. Didn't really live up to the hype for me. Luckily, VEx kicks butt. Gotta be on skin though. Little too mature on clothing, just like Guerlain's Vetiver edt.

[@TKK765]

I own POAL, French Lover and Monsieur.. Monsieur. is just my signature scent, and it is a melancholic scent, definitely not oriental, classy, and I love its performance. What do you think about the sillage and projection of Monsieur.?

[@Houman7]

I believe that the fragrance you mentioned as promise is actually the Night not Promise, I know Arabic a little bit and what it says on bottle is Night. Thanks for great work

[@iluvubb247]

I thought I was imagining that or something, I have “the night” and it’s exactly the same one he showed

[@ayeshamalik3239]

Portrait of a lady and carnal flower r love love love. Would love to buy musc

Sunday mornin max

[@yusufmarfatiya5215]

Sir please review the night and the moon from fredric malle

[@judthestudo2]

Definitely been wanting to get into FM, only smelled music ravageur way back in like 2015.

[@derrickferguson8274]

How does the new formulation of Musc Ravager compare to the original formulation?

[@kevinverspoor4796]

the original was darker and had a bigger warmer clove spice note, it also had a bigger animal musk note, however many of these materials have been regulated however the new version is still loveable.

[@Kratos70]

Just Acquired The Essential Collection As I'm Just Curious For New Scents To Try Out, And Wow, I Was Blown Away With Monsieur So Much I Bought A Full Bottle, And This Is From A Guy Who's Very Picky To Buy Something, As I Love It Or Hate It Type Of Guy. Close 2nd Would Be Musc Ravageur From The Essential Collection. Many Talk About French Lover As It's Amazing, But To Me It's Nothing Special. Have Fun Searching For What You Like People.

[@sandywinfield9406]

Hi Max nice compilation! Are you familiar with Superstitious by FM? I received a generous sample from a kind salesperson at Neiman in L.A. but I haven’t worn it enough yet. Seems like they may be marketing it toward women but it seems unisex so far. Also are FM’s French Lover and Bois D’Orage the same fragrance? The same fragrance?

[@wilmergreen9480]

sandy winfield yes they are the same fragrance, it was marketed as Bois d'Orage in the USA for some reason and French Lover in Europe

[@sandywinfield9406]

Thanks, Wilmer. Was wondering about that for a while!

[@EJ4u]

Max! See what you can find out about the new Dolce & Gabbana K for men Supposed to hit Macy’s exclusively 8/15! Very secretive!

[@MaxForti]

Thanks EJ, I've actually reached out to a few people I'm trying to get a bottle and review it! ;)

[@EJ4u]

Max Forti thanks my friend! I’m looking forward to this release. Another Alberto Morillas composition

[@ee-linyong6732]

I only smelled 2 of Frederic Malle. I love musc ravageur. But noir Epices is not outstanding. Just okay. Now I'm so interested in music for a while.

[@lindelanibramley3446]

promise is powerful ❤️❤️❤️

[@PremierSportsJosh]

This (my) list will not get any love in the comments due to my #1 but my favorite FM scents: 1. Outrageous (the performance is terrible, but it’s my absolute favorite and what I wear most days) 2. Cologne Indelebile 3. L’eau D’Hiver 4. Music For A While 5. Dries Van Noten Honourable mentions: Vetiver Extraordinaire and Bigarade Concentree

[@MaxForti]

Great choices Josh - thanks for sharing!

[@RihabeMz]

You were talking about “Promise” but you showed “The Night”.

Hey max 👋👋👋 Ssssssolid video 💪💪

[@MaxForti]

Thank you Mehdi

[@5Heliotrope]

Very interesting video, Max. In fact, those GBUUO vids of yours are the one I enjoy the most because of their teaching character. I love learning about frags. One suggestion for you: Please try Malle's L'EAU D'HIVER by Jean-Claude Ellena. It is a very luxurious and distinguished fragrance. Truly special. Suit and tie elegance. In short: It smells like money & success ;) Try it, you'll thank me later.

[@MaxForti]

Thanks for the recommendations I will most definitely look into it!

[@MJM111977]

Hey Max, great video. I was wondering what your take on Bigarade Concentree is? I love the scent but performance on my skin is abysmal.

[@evanchu4067]

It’s not good on my skin too. Smells a bit like curry.

[@dorf2070]

What's your opinion on Noir Epices? 🤔

[@ANARUTHALBRECHT]

Good analysis

[@ramis7933]

Oh you put a picture of the night instead of the promise . When you were describing it I was surprised. It turned out to be the promise.

[@tictac571]

Hey Max, Where do you keep all your bottles?

[@MaxForti]

I have a room that's dedicated to them - temperature controlled, etc... I also have some in my office!

[@kingspunkbubble]

I can’t believe guys wear portrait. I’d like to be able to pull it off because it’s lovely but it’s really feminine. I bought a bottle for my wife nearly ten years ago. She still has it. I will try it out and see what happens.

[@shakiellwamba6499]

I'm suprised night and moon dint make your list

[@Gtedesco29]

i’ve been wearing musc ravageur since 2005 i’m on my 3rd 100ml bottle it is one of my favorite scents i’ve ever owned, and will always have a bottle. i really would love to try out the whole line of frederic malle but i don’t live anywhere close to wear they sell it, and my last purchase of musc ravageur i asked to buy some samples and i was declined they told me they didn’t sell them and i would have to go to a place that sold them, i was disappointed! i really like frederic malle and don’t understand why they don’t just give samples out but can’t even purchase them! kind of sucks because i like to try out and purchase different fragrances, oh well have to wait until i go somewhere that sells it.

Is musc ravageur good to wear for casual and with jeans

[@b4yonce]

Do they have any aquatic air clean scents? If so can u recommend plz?

[@vLPx109]

I still do not understand why musc ravageur is so liked by everyone and so overhyped. the first thing I got when I first smelled it was the smell of urinals... :l That was weird.

[@THEMWBCAM]

You mast try HR Perfume it is so perfect 😍😍😍😍

[@rachelgrigg7189]

Lots of reviewers seem to hate Music for a while. I Bloody love it. It’s the only full bottle I bought. I also have and enjoy Noir epices, french lover and portrait.

[@MaxForti]

Hey Rachel, I really like it too - I guess its better this way, we remain exclusive for wearing it! ;)

[@h2008im]

Is there a perfume similar to a tradition that has an affinity? Frederic Malle The Moon

[@hazrieimran4658]

Musc Ravageur new formulation vs old formulation, how different is it? Longevity?

[@MaxForti]

Old form is most definitely darker and stronger - they toned down a bit on the initial cloves blast that you get with the original form... I get 2 + hrs longer lasting performance on the old.

[@ildevastato]

@@MaxForti Max can you please help me to find a MR vintage formulation bottle?

[@Rybkinrolla]

Tried 14 Frederic Malle fragrances(most known), and nothing touched me. All the fragrances well blended, but non of them has wow effect or at least something new in it. Considering the price I really don’t understand the hype over this house. But the video is classy as always!

[@MaxForti]

Thanks Vitalii, I appreciate your feedback. I can see and understand where you're coming from the ''WOW'' effect that's missing - I believe a couple of them do have it - but others are made on the premise of ''less is more'', well blended with an understated class and elegance...

[@Rybkinrolla]

Max Forti I think, maybe the time has not come yet to marry my nose with Frederic Malle. I try them from time to time, but have no luck at the moment.

[@Rybkinrolla]

Max Forti Aaah. I tried French Lover yesterday, and bought a full bottle. Amazing scent. I can’t get enough of it. Thanks to you and to your video! I assume this is 7-8 time when I buy a fragrance because of your suggestion! Thank you!

The night is the best

[@inu3112]

Idk what people’s obsession with musc ravageur is. Like yeah it smells nice. But it’s smells pretty much of a gourmands sweet musc. And I consistently see it as people’s absolute favorite. Maybe smelling like a cinnamon roll just ain’t for me

[@notea1]

Don’t put music on background or put level very low because it’s disturbing your presentation

[@oussochou4186]

Hi, i was hopping to know your opinion regarding the "Night"...by the way the photo of the "night" appeared mistakenly i guess while you were talking about "promise" here it is kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYSZippmn5uZgqc

[@joshuaesposito5409]

I don’t want to be negative BUT.... I feel the smells are highly overrated. I have smelt the top 20 of the house. At least 3 times each, and honestly I wouldn’t feel I need to get my wallet into them. Carnal flower, French lover, Musc raveguer, portrait of a lady.... all I’ve smelt before. Please someone help me out.! Why buy this house?

[@MaxForti]

Hey Joshua, I completely understand your point. Having said that, remember that fragrances are subjective (to each its own) and you don't have to justify or find validation - if you don't like it, that should be enough not to buy or wear! Thank you for your input.

[@joshuaesposito5409]

Max Forti quick reply.. legend. Your absolutely right. I just feel that I’ve bought many a niche fragrance before and that these remind me of something I have walked the line before. I guess my point being that with all they hype, I was expecting something more unique in terms of scent profile that I haven’t smelt before. I feel Tom Ford, Guerlain, Dior all have made similar fragrances and I think a bit before these..

[@kevinverspoor4796]

really! The I am a perfumer and have been for more than 20 years. In my opinion this line was and still is revolutionary.

[@felicityw30]

I am not a perfume collector but I discovered FM before it was sold to Estée Lauder. I feel that FM perfume got different layers and under different weather, they smell slightly different. I have Noir Epices, lipstick rose, Iris Poudre. A few times, I noticed people around me leaned towards me (both males and females) when I have Noir Epices on. I just noticed the difference when I spray FM perfume. It's worth the price in my opinion. This house is able to interpret classic perfume in a modern way. When you smell their perfume, you get a familiar memory like you have smelt it before but yet you know it's not like the same as the older generation. They add modern twist to the old-fashioned scents. To me, Tom Ford is not long lasting and it's a fashion scent. But Guerlain is nice but the new CEO might not respect the heritage that much. Still, Guerlain does not disappoint.
