Frederic Malle is absolute class. Definition of niche perfumery.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

miguel sanches I look forward to trying more from this house

[@bobbylinn7729]

The moon is phenomenal!!!

[@saynomore9604]

And the hype can continue...

[@Ishvires]

they are for masses, has nothing to do with niche, but with that said, few works been quite good, but majority is waste for the masses

[@lonewolf5969]

@@Ishvires For me they’re like designer niche kind of vibe.

[@brainalien3116]

I must say I was getting little tired of many of the KZbin fragrance reviews and current releases in perfumery; however, your incredibly in-depth, unique and personal reviews have renewed my interest! It's such a pleasure and so refreshing watching your reviews and getting your expert take on fragrance. Bravo! "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

My most complimented perfume in my collection by female friends. Every time I wear it they all want to sit next to me or be near me.

[@markperkins9445]

Makes sense 🤣

[@rjloveslaurent]

Male here and I’ve worn CF for close to 10 years. It’s bene my most complimented fragrance in my small collection. If you like it, wear it!

[@xhulio24]

i got a sample along with my purchase of FM Promise.. I love it and I would easily wear this all day/week! 🔥men can easily pull this off

[@KJSully92]

I would love to smell this on a man! I think florals (especially rose, iris and tuberose) and gourmands smell incredible on men. I wear lots of "men's" fragrances, life is too short to not wear whatever you love 💕

[@xhulio24]

@@KJSully92 yes depending on your skin chemistry some frangraces can easily be interchangeable

[@danielclv97]

I love this fragrance, and for me, is 100% unisex, as I don't see any reason as for why men shouldn't wear floral fragrances, and to my nose, this just smells like a beautiful garden after a heavy rain. Actually, I bought this as a present for my mother, and even though she liked it, she told me that it's "too masculine" for her to wear, which I found interesting, but I did gave her Cruz del sur II from my collection and kept carnal flower for me, and I love to wear it! Especially in the summer, I'm 100% that men can pull this off, as with any fragrance that just smell utterly natural, no bubble gum or makeup smell for this (only smells I'll associate as 100% feminine). But I agree that the name it's not a good fit, I don't get anything "carnal" about this fragrance, just art.

[@bronxbirdman21]

Great re review. Looking forward to your thoughts on Portrait of a Lady and Musc Ravaguer. Peace my brother!! WOOOOOOOO!!

[@Toast0808]

Ha. I’m male and I wear it. Love it. There are men who love it and wear it. Not all men can pull it off. You have to have the confidence, and have the right personality. And yes, Frederic Malle is French. Also, if you like it now, you would have liked it better say, nine years ago. Why? Because the formula changed because of ridiculous E.U. imposed rules. To me it doesn’t smell as good as it did back circa 2011.

[@callumwells]

[@jonmichael02302]

Just ordered Promise from Frederic Malle. Can't wait! Excellent review as usual brother!

[@carolinemuller7787]

I really love your reviews. It's so great to have an actual perfumer to review fragrances who can give a detailed breakdown of the composition and ingredients - I find this so refreshing and intriguing. I also really appreciate your honesty as perfume is so subjective. I would love for you to review Iris Poudre. I feel like this perfume is the shy girl in the Frederic Malle collection that often goes unnoticed but is quite interesting and complex when you get to know her😀

[@oussochou4186]

Please more reviews of Frederic Malle specially Musc Ravageur. Thanks Aaron

You've got to try Musc Ravageur and Portrait of a Lady. Both utter masterpieces. Also would be curious to hear your thoughts about The Moon, The Night, Promise, etc.

[@blackpound2297]

Promise is fantastic, one of my favourite fragrances

[@sharifradwan4515]

I adore your reviews, if I'm looking for a review for a certain fragrance, and see review by you, I jump on it and take your review like the bible, thanks Aaron.

[@brian95240]

I've only tried "the Night". It took me some bravery to go for that level of animalic. However, after 35-45 minutes, it turned into pure art. I fell in love with its heart. Frederic Malle uses top caliber perfumers for each fragrance.

[@danielkhhh]

Dominique Ropion said in an interview that the tuberose is the centerpiece of the fragrance and was inspired by "Fracas" made by Robert Piguet. Ropion also spent more than 2 years to perfect the formula for this perfume.

[@ryanx3584]

On a side note do you know where to watch or read these interviews / documentaries from or about perfumers?

[@danielkhhh]

@@ryanx3584 There’s a playlist on the official youtube channel of Frederic Malle called Our Perfumes where the perfumers talk a bit about their creations. But other than that not really. kzbin.info/aero/PLqIeqyEH-IJnqlSK_Y839HqcLPtobszRI

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

Just ordered a sample of this. Excited to try it out. I do like tuberose so it should be a good one.

[@stormbreaker7290]

As a guy I have tried this on a few times and if I had the money I would buy it, I enjoy how this smells on my skin

[@dcjimr1]

I'm a man and I love tuberose and I love Carnal Flower. But I'm probably in the minority. 😁Excellent review, Aaron, as always!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

dcjimr1 I love some women’s fragrance. In fact some woman’s fragrance I prefer to men’s. I expect you love spicy florals. 😍

[@briortiz-ericloredo8763]

ATH, what makes a fragrance project? Do certain aroma chemicals project better than others?? This has been a burning question of mine, thanks! I love your reviews so much.

Hey Aaron 👋 just want to know your thought on castor oil I love that very earther Rastafarian scent .

Hi Aaron, can you do a video about reformulation/watering down fragrances? Why do they do it and how can you find out as a consumer?

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Strange review of this classic, my most complimented perfume. I find it extremely sexy, I don't picture someone in the boardroom, but rather in the jungle.

[@Gtedesco29]

i absolutely love carnal flower, don’t care about impressing anyone, i wear it because it’s a masterpiece and i can’t get enough of it.

[@torimmusic]

I do like tuberose. This one is not heavy. I have this it is quite lovely to wear during the day.

[@torimmusic]

But I am yet to try your fragrances I’m sure I would like them. I am a fan of rap music. Lol

[@tonymalizia]

Anisyl Alcohol or Anisaldehyde? One smells like powdery lilac and the other one like powdery mimosa, or something like that.

[@EanPaul200]

I love it and wear it well. I feel its unisex which is funny how convinced Aaron feels its for women. To each his own opinion but Ive never seen a flower with a vagina. Thanks for the review.

[@dianaathens1]

Dominique Ropion is the nose behind this masterpiece, portrait of a lady etc.. he is top for me

[@dianaathens1]

But Aaron this is gorgeous I loved it!

[@CleverTurkishAmazon]

Hi Aaron, hope this finds you in a happy frequency 😊 Would you mind giving a review on Coromandel by Chanel? It’s a patchouli (one of my favorite perfumes) and I’ve been hunting high and low for something that gives a similar impression. Another one is Spiritueuse Double Vanille by Guerlain (I’d bathe in this stuff if I could). Same pursuit. Looking for a scent that’s like it. If you don’t have either, I can sneak them into a package and send to you. Stay fantastic 🥰

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I love patchouli more then anything. If you want me to review a fragrance please send me a tiny 1ml sample. Please include your name so I can’t thank you

[@laurahannastarzzz3264]

I’m a fellow fire sign, namely Aries. I don’t wear this masterpiece to please anyone else but myself. I actually adore the eucalyptus almost clinical element of it. I do receive many compliments from men whereas women always stop and question me about Portrait of a Lady oddly enough.

[@darianbirckett1933]

I think that was a misstep in comparing anyone who likes rap music to a scent being preferable for them. Although I understand where you were going with it in the range of your analogy but I have to definitely question the overal relevancy of it. For one reason in particular, I listen to rap music and I'm a professional person and I'm highly into being choosey when it comes to perfumery.

In my opinion Nasomatto Narcotic V. smells more realistic. In fact, the Nasomatto Narcotic V is the most realistic tuberose I've ever smelt, compared to Le Labo Lys 31 Frederic Malle Carnal Flower. But Carnal Flower is stunning nonetheless.
