Frederic Malle on the Ultimate Creative Freedom in Perfumery (Scent World E28)

[@julianneale7993]

I could watch this a hundred times. So honest. No pretention. So grounded. Total respect.

[@Scentbird]

Frederic Malle's honesty and grounded demeanor shine through. We're thrilled you found the interview meaningful.

[@majackslelo827]

💯😁

[@SirSillageSniffington]

The only bad thing here is that he didn’t take us through every single one of the brand’s fragrances. Could listen to a 2 or 3 hour version of this happily. Also THANK YOU for being a great interviewer and not interrupting him every 5 seconds. Definitely one of the best Malle interviews I’ve seen, hopefully this gets way more views… 🙌🏻

[@Scentbird]

Thanks for the genuine feedback! We'll definitely consider a more in-depth exploration of the brand's fragrances in future content.

[@adb2747]

@@Scentbird I also agree with Sir. He seems so pleasant to interview and I agree with just about everything he says. Could definitely listen to him more in-depth about his work with perfumers and their fragrances.

1:00:12 Frederic says to live the moment, what a true inspiration thank you Jenny B. for a wonderful interview

[@MrSoulDevelopment]

I’m merely 6 minutes in, and this is like a gift from the heavens. Thank you so much for this.

[@Scentbird]

you're so welcome! what was your favorite part?

[@MrSoulDevelopment]

@@Scentbird I particularly enjoyed hearing the insight into individual fragrances. I could hear him talk about the whole line!

[@showmustgoon5311]

Carnal Flower is an amazing creation!

[@dio2u]

Congratulations on a successful interview. I'm glad that Frederic was not interrupted while he was presenting his ideas. I really enjoyed this interview.

[@Scentbird]

We're so glad you liked the interview. Frederic had some great ideas. Which part did you find the most interesting?

[@waldoadams1611]

It's just plain old respect. Not all interviews are newsroom interrogations and debate.

[@Elmister1924]

Complete joy of a talk so serene, elequent and honest

[@Scentbird]

thank you for watching! check out our latest episodes!

What a lovely and authentic Federic Malle is!! Thank for this amazing interview ❤❤

[@bozevstheworld]

heard about this episode from an associate at the Malle store!! so wonderful to hear from Frederic about his art 🫶🏼

[@Chukwuezugo]

So humble and open about his creative process. Very down to earth and relatable. Big respect! 🙏🏿🙌🏿

[@aomeng342]

malle is a great storyteller here

[@Scentbird]

so inspiring ❤️

[@Berkant-bj3gq]

Please do a Part 2, could watch this a 1.000 times

[@IanFleming808]

Tell Frederic that Pierre Negrin should do one of the Arabic perfumes because he's worked with Amouage and is very good with oriental styles from Black Orchid to Interlude Man. I'm sure there are many other perfume fanatics like me that would love to see him do an Editions de Parfums.

[@titosantos8238]

Exactly. Pierre Negrin and Michel Almairac.

[@garssympa500]

This was absolutely wonderful. I MUST go back and revisit that house. Thank you Monsieur Malle for creating all these wonderful artworks.

[@Scentbird]

glad you enjoyed the interview and share our admiration for Monsieur Malle's creations. ❤️

[@pokarier]

wonderful interview.. profoundly insightful into the character, intellect, sensibility of Frederic Malle.. thank you

[@aaronjolley450]

Wonderful to hear a passionate master. Very insightful.

[@666lacksquire]

This deresrves much more views, such an inspiring interview with a lot of personal details. Love it!

[@zvikaso]

I haven't smelled any FM perfumes yet, but after listening to this interview I am going to try a few. A pleasure to listen to.

[@fleurfred00]

I drank everything he said. Merci à l'infini Mr. Frederic Malle

[@nathanmugambi7293]

He knows his stuff and his taste in fashion is inspirational.

[@ANARUTHALBRECHT]

What an insight on beauty ,art and off course the olfactory sense that play lots of memories on us human beings .thank you Mr. FREDERIC Malle.

[@tomkleinsss]

A truly inspiring person and creative director. Full of passion, taste and empathy. An absolute pleasure to listen to him. Also great work by Jenny, really lovely energy. This should have been longer. ;)

[@Scentbird]

thanks for the feedback ❤️ Frederic is truly amazing! Stay tuned for more episodes!

[@katarinasurac3695]

Thank you for this interview 🙌❤️ it’s a true gift

[@wvanderwahl]

I absolutely love my Carnal Flower and Geranium Pour Monsieur. Dominique Ropion is a master perfumer. Weren't not for Mr. Malle I would have never known his name.

[@truthsayer77]

Excellent questions yield excellent answers. This is how you conduct an interview. Thoroughly enjoyed the content and the fashion.

[@Scentbird]

that means the world to us thank you 🤗 we do put a lot of effort into crafting thoughtful questions. What questions should we ask on our next episode?

[@alexrodriguez5370]

My all time favorite! I love LOVE the assortment of fragrances. I hope they don’t change after the buyout

[@alibakhtiari2416]

I enjoyed every bit of this interview and now I have even more respect for this brand. Hope Estee lauder doesn't destroy it

[@Ruben_Martinez91]

Incredible interview!

[@seeriij]

A Good moment from parfumery world

[@Scentbird]

happy you enjoyed the interview! What was your favorite moment?

@@Scentbird Frédéric told a perfect words: Be yourself! It's very easy, and at the same time it's very hard. But it's true.

[@vivid.worker]

great great interview and great great interviewer

[@delmariesantana1683]

Really enjoyable interview. Elegance and honesty. It shows true artistry with a passion in perfumery. ❤

[@Scentbird]

His passion truly shines through. Would love to hear what part of his approach or insights stood out to you during the interview!

[@eidenblock]

Thank you very much for this incredible video.

[@cheapimitation2242]

Absolutely love Frederic and his outlook on not just fragrance but life, art, and culture as well. Great interview!

[@Scentbird]

So glad you enjoyed the interview! Frederic Malle's perspective on life, art, and culture adds a unique dimension to his creations. Anything specific from the interview that resonated with you?

[@empera3zz]

Great interview. It was a pleasure listening. ❤

[@Scentbird]

thanks for the ❤️ 🤗 who should we interview next?

[@seeriij]

@@Scentbird Cécile Zarokian

[@seeriij]

@@Scentbird and also Quentin Bisch

[@OneMoreScent]

Aurélien Guichard! 😎

[@Fragaddiction]

That was so interesting, and great to hear how he presumes musk and talks about color in fragrance. I struggle in that department, I hear smells, only green notes give me real color associations

[@kayla6036]

Reminds me of ratatouille, flavors were color and movement for Remy

[@marginaljoke549]

amazing interview! thank you

[@hippeastrum]

Great interview. Very interesting man. Also wonderful inerviewer, many could take valuable lessons from her on how to behave.

[@lillalaszlok]

Can we all just stop for a second and appreciate the gorgeous silver skirt and the edgy blue socks? Thank you, now we can move on :)

[@Scentbird]

Oh we're peeping the fashion over here too ❤️ Thanks for noticing Jennys' style

[@lillalaszlok]

How could I not? :D Iconic interview, from multiple respects. ;)

[@eauceylon1891]

Great interview :)

[@markgallacher4217]

This is so interesting, obviously he has been very successful and no doubt made a fortune but still comes across so knowledgeable and enthusiastic talking about his work. Also I love his style ...the suit looks great

[@Scentbird]

it's amazing to witness a great, like Frederic, talk about his passions! His style is impeccable and definitely reflects his dedication. What impressed you most in the interview?

[@kiran-bilal]

Just ordered my first ever Frederic Malle perfume today…chose Carnal Flower as my first!

[@mutantfaith]

12:50 “Freudian slip” lmao

[@emperordante8948]

Scents of the Night.... Promise and the Night. Been transported by these Gems (no pun intended), to a dimension that's indescribable.

[@taniafilomena595]

Love last year’s vintage inspired (hello Bellodgia) Heaven Can Wait ❤

[@Curdle7]

Wish more interviews about perfumery materials details were out there

[@onewontdo]

Fantastic interview with tremendous production value, but I would have loved to hear about his candid thoughts on reformulations, as most of Frederic Malle scents now DO NOT smell the same at all to vintage batches that I have.

[@Scentbird]

that's actually a great topic! Reformulations can indeed alter scents. While we didn't cover it in this interview, it's a nuanced topic. We appreciate your perspective ❤️

[@joshuaesposito5409]

I love you Malle

[@Scentbird]

we love you 🤗

[@AndrewCrawford-w7w]

Musc Ravageur is my favorite fragrance ive ever smelled!

[@ThisisFerrariKhan]

Encore! This was tooooooo short. We need more 🌊🌊🌊

[@Scentbird]

should we do a 2nd interview?

[@ThisisFerrariKhan]

@@Scentbird definitely. And you should get more perfumers up there for longer style interviews/conversations as well. The world needs it. I imagine Christoph Laudamiel would be happy to talk, Thierry Wasser and a few others as well.

[@ATC2345-r3q]

I bought Carnal Flower, 10 ml from Obsentum Bucharest via on line. No siaj, no projection. The persistence was for maximum one hour on my skin and on my dougthers skin. At this price I had higher expectation.

[@AlexN-tx1sm]

Was it a flacon directly from Frederic Malle oder was it a decan?

[@ATC2345-r3q]

@@AlexN-tx1sm it is a flacon in a litlle black box, like I saw on the official site. I realy don t know how the parfume is fill in the bottle. Obsentum is a an authorized shop. I did n buy this parfume from a person like a decant. I had another expectatins about persistence and siaj. So, that is. I am happy I not orderd a big one. The same negative results I observed on my doughters. So 3 persons. I don t buy ideea of pH. The pH may change the smell on the skin, not the performances. I am sorry for my money.

[@eb1504]

Truly enjoy promise by dominique ropion, such a complex minblowing scent

[@franceiroca]

Freedom died when Frederic Malle sold his brand to Estée Lauder...

[@peterlangendorff9846]

Exactly. They’ve already begun to destroy it.

[@Loonsecho62]

@@peterlangendorff9846Nooooooooooo!!! I want to cry. I have never been into fragrances, and at my old age I just discovered Carnal Flower. I am addicted. Please tell me it has not changed, or will not change. Dammit.

[@TMike293]

Same with MFK being under LVNH 😢

[@veghar7920]

I disagree with you. Since the acquisition, they have released Promise, Moon, Dawn, Synthetic Jungle, Monsieur, and Heaven Can Wait. None of these releases could be considered a cash grab. Take Synthetic Jungle, for example, which is a fairly recent release - at that point, Frederic Malle should have been fully integrated into Estée Lauder, yet it's as far from being a 'blockbuster' fragrance as possible. Frederic Malle represents the higher end of luxury perfumery, and I don't see any business logic in creating mainstream blue fragrances in the Malle line when Estée Lauder has other brands in their portfolio better suited for that market segment. Even their latest release, Hope, with its salty oud composition, doesn't strike me as a cash grab at all

[@Friends_and_fragrances]

Musc Ravageur is perfect

[@Scentbird]

Musc Ravageur is indeed a masterpiece!

It takes courage to wear metallic silver with a white shirt . Woman exudes goth angel from 5th dimension. Could be serving holy water in a church with a disco ball and I shall drink it . Smells like a mix of fille de berlin x dama Bianca .
