Frederic Malle: THE 12 BEST OF ALL TIME | Best Frederic Malle Fragrances Of All Time

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

🌰🌰🌰Please watch my Chestnut Fragrances video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX_dhq2orLuopa8 🌰🌰🌰

[@bartoltolic]

The Moon is magical. Tested that one for the first time in October 2022 and to this day I have a tester strip of The Moon in my room and you can still smell it if you put your nose close to the strip 💀 . I recently tested it again and left with another paper strip of The Moon back home 😂. The only fragrance that I would spend retail price and I wouldn’t regret a thing.. one day.

[@retroverso]

My favorites are Promise, Noir Epices, Une Rose, En Passant, Uncut Gem, Musc Ravageur, L’eau d’Hiver, Sale Gosse and Rose & Cuir. The Moon is great too but astronomical price wise 😮

[@tally1604]

My favorites have got to be Geranium Pour Minsieur and French Lover. Both bottles bought curca 2010. I know Estee Lauder has done both scents dirty with reformulations.

[@nancyacheampong]

Promise, lipstick Rose and Portrait of a lady.Love them all.

[@brabalans348]

It becomes apparent when a a top ten list needs to be to- 13 and then with somewhat almost ten honorable mentions that could have made the list - how incredibly grand the perfume house of a Frederic Malle really is.

[@cityslacker6221]

I absolutely looooove Carnal Flower, and I’m a dude in my fifties. I recently discovered it layers well with Tam Dao 😮😊

[@taidini5657]

Music for a while (people sleeping on this)😮, POAL, Promise, Rose Cuir and Synthetic Jungle

[@dashulka4]

What is POAL?

[@ramanshah7627]

Really appreciate this review of these largely unaffordable fragrances. I just assembled a discovery set as a gift for my mom, and it contains decants of Carnal Flower and POAL. I chuckled at the idea of layering POAL and The Night. It was like a Jeopardy question where the correct response is "How do you know someone is rich?" 😂

[@professorperfume]

The Cosmetics Company Store where my parents live just got a bunch of FM fragrances. I missed POAL but bought a bottle of Promise. I feel as though I should have liked Carnal Flower, but it reminds me of my grandmother, who I loved dearly, but who was a smoker of menthols. She was born and raised in Germany and wore 4711 her entire life. For some reason Carnal Flower reminds me of the way she smelled when she wore 4711 and we'd go out shopping and she would smoke clandestinely in her car. 4711, menthol cigarettes, and her Dodge Omni. I miss her. My favorite FM offering will always be L'Eau d'Hiver. I wear it all the time. I also have Magnolia, even though my favorite magnolia is Magnolia Infinita by Acqua di Parma.

[@danan1988]

My favorite is Iris Poudre ❤ it smells so elegant

[@jjmuse75]

Great House, one of my favorites with Xerjoff, MFK & Initio. I just wore The Moon last night. I “think” my favorite from the house is Promise. Hopefully you can get to Initio soon. Thanks for your reviews, you do a great job. One of the best in my opinion.

[@svetlanastefanova4731]

Portrait of a Lady ist masterpiece!!! Best of the best ever!

[@litespeed65]

No Music for a While?! A must have- best pineapple scent ever created. Absolutely one of my top FM's: -The Moon -Music for a While -Portrait of a Lady -Promise -Synthetic Jungle

[@SummeRain783]

Just bought POAL. Love it so much! Feel it almost “defines” me. Can’t stop smelling it when I have it on. Looking forward to explore the other masterpieces from FM.

[@deanramos2449]

i have a full bottle of dries van noten..i was able to get the last bottle when it was already discontinued at harvey nichols in London…I have and love The promise,Portrait of a lady,Carnal flower,Geranium pour monsieur,Cologne indelibile, and Musc ravageur…Dominique Ropion Avid fan here…😍👍

[@Supersucreee]

A couple of days ago i dropped my bottle of musc ravageur, i had fragrance all oher my bedroom . My House smelled wonderful that day 😂

[@fionamann1553]

I absolutely adore Musc Ravageur. I think it is my most favourite fragrance. I love it so much that I also have the body oil and body cream. I have to say that my latest bottle of MR does smell different, can't explain how. But it's not quite as good as previously, but I still love it. I also have Synthetic Jungle - really like, En Passant - like, the magnolia one - like. I think i have L'eau D'Hiver also. Love Iris Poudre, hopefully the next one i buy. Also really like Bigarade 😊

[@tara_27244]

I might have to try synthetic jungle as I also like some of the same you have and enjoy (iris poudre and eau de magnolia). Would you say SJ leans more masculine direction? I’ve not smelled it yet. it’s available at Costco online for a good price so I might blind buy or pop into a dept store to smell it first.

[@fionamann1553]

I would say it is unisex, doesn't have a particularly masculine vibe. It is quite unusual. I tried it in a store before purchasing and I wouldn't feel confident to say it's a blind buy. It isn't at all like the others I mentioned.

[@viggenone]

Totally agree with your ranking, maybe I switch the top two places but the ones that I love are at the top. Thanks for the video Sebastian!!!

[@Loonsecho62]

I’m 62 and have never been into perfume. Ever. I only used light scented lotion… or soap. I recently heard someone talking about Carnal Flower and decided to buy a sample. Wow. I am totally hooked and I just bought a bottle. It is mesmerizing.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It’s so nice to hear you’re finding new things you love!

[@AyaneBKing]

Musc Ravageur- it used to be my absolute favorite. But post-reformulation, it’s mainly cinnamon for me. Missing the animalic edge 😔 excited to try the layering tip you mentioned; maybe it’ll bring back the magic .😅

[@Persepolis8564]

Please do a Francesca Bianchi ranked list

[@musiquepiquenique]

Musk Ravageur (pre-reformulation) is my favourite from the house, with POAL coming in at a very close second! L'eau D'Hiver is another stunning, soothing musky fragrance that I love. Finally, Une Rose is one that I will never part with, an iconic garden rose fragrance. Now I need to get my hands on Dries Van Noten!

[@AndyBarbosa96]

I met Mr. Malle in London a few years ago, his signature scent is Geranium pour Monsieur which also happens to be my favourite in his collection. Why this is not even mentioned, surprising.

[@demimiforrest1349]

Even the ones mentioned that didn’t make the list are really great ❤

[@nkapped]

Great list! Most of my top ones are here too so we definitely have similar taste. The only one not here which I think deserves a spot is Noir Epices which was a recent discovery for me - love the spices, citrus and rose in that.

[@juanportillo3749]

How heavy is the rose smell? Looking for a good rose decant

[@nkapped]

@@juanportillo3749 In Noir Epices? The rose is more of a supporting player. It feels like a refreshing spiced tea to me with lemony and rose facets. If you want a full-on rose, try Rose Tonnere.

[@juanportillo3749]

@nkapped have you tried lyric man by amouage ? I was thinking of sampling that scent as well.

[@nkapped]

@@juanportillo3749 Yes, I have. It’s a good one, very clean and refreshing, a bit of a soapy feel. Rose and lime. Lasts all day.

[@funeka691]

Portrait of A Lady is the only one I have.

[@professionalpookie]

Ok

[@dhadad9885]

And the only one you need

[@xtrvette4412]

Monsieur Promise Music for a While Musc Ravageur Moon That’s more of my style, however I still want to get Outrageous. Stay safe and happy holidays to everyone.

[@JJColb]

Une Fleur de Cassie, Dans Tes Bras, Le Parfum de Therese, Noir Epices are among my faves.

[@Frag_talk]

Agree with most. One of my top 3 is music for a while. Find it very sexy

[@markoser7200]

I really enjoy Vetiver Extraordinaire. What are your thoughts about that scent?

[@Zzzooooppp]

Synthetic Jungle I find incredibly impressive as a concept, but I hate wearing it. It’s wild how much it smells like a florist.

[@demimiforrest1349]

I just got a bottle of Synthetic Jungle based on your descriptions and comments below. And OH BOY! I love it ❤

[@shanesaxon6863]

Synthetic jungle is incredible for what it is. The best GREEN scent I’ve found. ❤

[@nelsoncorreia4619]

I like very much Promise, and more recently Heaven can wait

[@ANARUTHALBRECHT]

Thank you for this education on Frederic Malle perfumes

[@vlad.gorneanu]

I've been waiting for this video for quite awhile. I think Frederic Malle is my favourite house at the moment and that is because of 2 fragrances Musc Ravageur & Monsieur. For most of my teens my favourite fragrance was Givenchy Gentleman the '74 version which is (was) also a patchouli bomb. When I smelled Monsieur it was absolute heaven for me. Musc Ravageur is ...Musc Ravageur. Stunning fragrances.

[@boogiedaddy3434]

Great list, Sebastian! Frederic Malle has some truly iconic scents in their lineup. I really want to try The Moon, but I'm honestly scared I would love it and end up buying a bottle. lol

[@khalfani321]

This is perfect timing! I treated myself to a bottle of Musc Ravageur for Xmas that arrived today. Excited to dig into it and hopefully find my new favorite musk! 🤞🏾

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Happy holidays!

[@khalfani321]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Thanks! Happy Holidays!!

[@sphexes]

Vetiver Extraordinaire makes me feel sophisticated. Noir Epices reminds me of my grandmother's bathroom.

[@goldenshadow7691]

I’m a female and I love masculine scents. Monsieur is so good! Has anyone layered Portrait with it?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Oof that might be an overwhelming layer. I would layer Monsieur with Rose Tonnere formerly Une Rose. :)

[@goldenshadow7691]

@@ThePerfumeGuy I will try that! In what order? Monsieur first then Rose T on top? You should do a layering vid

[@lynnleglaire4819]

Love this house. POAL Lys Med. Synthetic Jungle Carnal Flower Rose et Cuir Fleu de Cassis French Lover En Passant Promise (don’t have it but love it)

[@ScentualP]

No Musc Ravageur😮? That's surprising as you normally like that profile 😅

[@rubyqaddoumi569]

My favorite brand Carnal flower Syntactic jungle French lover Portrait of a lady And the list goes on 😊

[@Winning29]

I just purchased Acme Studios new one by Fredric Malle… it’s amazing ❤

[@EanPaul200]

Heaven can wait is fantastic. I ignored it because of all the negative reviews but someone gave me a sample and I ran out to buy it.

[@jonsteinmeyer127]

French Lover is my fav by far. To each, his own.

[@christinah.8504]

I remember ordering from their French website and getting notices that they will be closed for August. The caps were all matte and a few spritzes lasted the whole day.

[@yasirnaimi6675]

My favorit is promise aka الوعد. The apple and the dry down is something else 😮

[@CryptoPaysMeDaily]

this is my favorite house I believe.... They make the best fragrances!!!

[@benitoV3358]

Which one would you say its leaning more masculine flanker ?

[@sadaeqalandar9073]

The night my favourite pricy but awesome spellbinding stunning for mature noses ❤

[@MrLanarana]

Syntetic Jungle is stunning, most of their frag just not my cup of tea, original for sure but mostly hype than good

[@LepusArt]

Waiting for Kilian ranking version🥰

[@tara_27244]

I don’t think he’s a killian fan of late after they sold to EL and things just don’t smell the same, don’t last or project and high priced for what it is. That’s what I’ve heard him mention in recent videos …. So I wouldn’t hold my breath for a current kilian list. He has some older ones I saw when I was looking for info on straight to heaven and rolling in love - I passed on both. Nothing special. I only like Angel share. Maybe princess original formula. The rest is meh. Smoking hot is okay smells like flavoured shisha … not sure about the longevity of wear tho.

[@demimiforrest1349]

Hi Sebastian! Any suggestions for Dries Van Notan alternatives?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I thought Ani was close but it’s more spicy with spices compared to the Dries. Dries is more medicinal to me. Maybe Piano Santal but I’d say get a sample first. Watch this video for sandalwood ideas kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6vFoZ6Ed5uqrtU

[@demimiforrest1349]

Thank you ❤

[@muizalmutasim7751]

My favourite perfume is Promise, Portrait of a lady

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to check out this house and have a blessed day

[@nancykennedy3538]

Layering Portrait with the Night sounds interesting! I’ll try it tonight

[@dexterie]

Bigarade concentré and synthetic jungle have to be my favourite of theirs.

[@sesame88]

Because I live in a tropical country, I gravitate towards the lighter, citrusy floral scents. So Jean Claude Ellena's creation for Frederic Malle is a big hit for me like: Angeliques Sous La Pluie, Bigarade Concentrée, L’Eau d’Hiver. Is Geramium Pour Monsieur the same as Monsieur mentioned in this video?

[@bjoern0975]

No, they are two different fragrances. GPM is great for summer! Monsieur is a strong, sinister Patchouli.

[@marygracerodriguez2285]

Hi Sebastian! Thank you dor this video. Did you feature Alberto Morilla’s best products? Thank you!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I'm only familiar with promise. Its my favourite perfume of all time

[@MissMotshabi]

My first buy was portrait, now I wear thr promise.. in the spring i put a little bit

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Awesome!!!

[@lunamypet]

Hehe I own a discovery set and Rose Tonnere bottle. Really enjoy the house. I haven’t smelled all of them though.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I haven’t bought a thing from Malle in over a decade. The first fragrance I bought was Noir Epices. I have a love hate relationship with the newer releases. I should get my nose on Synthetic Jungle. Thanks for this Sebastian. Happy Holidays 💙☃️❄️🎄

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Bois d’Orage is brilliant and really should be on your list, anyone’s list.

[@phantomthread4385]

No one ever mentions Parfum de Therese. It's magical.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I think I mentioned in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5zKiWt9p6t6Y5Y

[@ary8078]

is funny how the western view the moon and poal, where in malaysia poal can be smell everywhere when there is a funeral and the moon scent profile are use when the muslim are going to the mosque for prayer and it costs below than 3usd.

[@hungrybowl625]

What year did you get that Musc Ravageur's bottle in? Coz I bought one in 2020 and it has ZERO musk which is very sad considering the fact that I absolutely LOVE musk.😔

[@RacerRick12]

I have Monsieur, Musc Ravageur, French Lover, Cologne Indelible, Geranium Pour Monsieur…

[@farzadhs]

1. Musc ravageur 2. French lover 3. Portrait of a lady 4. Dans tes bras 5. Monsieur

[@LXS1303]

One thing with Portrait of a Lady... people always compliment me when I wear this... I think it's my most complimented fragrance.

[@briashacole]

That Dries Van Noten entire frangrance line is AMAZING / VERY unisex

[@tara_27244]

I own carnal flower, iris poudre, eau de magnolia - and I’ll Get POAL at some point. I bought musc ravegeur for a gift for a male. I need to smell synthetic jungle and lys Mediterranean.

[@fragchitown8985]

Angelique sous la Pluie is in my top two Malles.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Appreciate it! :)

[@TheAbisael]

I'm just getting into niche fragrances, could anyone tell me which of these are the most "easy-to-wear"?

[@fragchitown8985]

Perhaps Eau de Magnolia and Bigarade Concentrée.

[@tara_27244]

I would say iris poudre is easy wearing too if you enjoy the scene. I can wear it as a daily scent and year round. I find eau de magnolia better for spring and summer with the circus in there.

[@JM-ev3ij]

Man, I really love Heaven Can Wait

[@kirillokyrille]

Hello! There was a video comparing all frags from Ralph Lauren Earth line, could you help me find it? or can you send your ranking below here, please?

[@a.k2340]

Bigarade Concentre! Most realistic citrus scent!

[@ToTheWind]

Dries Van Noten and Musc Ravageur. Promise is okay but it's really just MFK Oud Extrait, to me. Synthetic Jungle is okay but cannot hold a candle to Strangelove NYC 'Lost in Flowers', if you're after that immense, rich, floral experience. Federic Malle is not my favourite house by quite some distance. Too pretentious. Minimalist packaging - which is just a way to save money. The last two releases have really turned me off Malle. And Estée Lauder has really destroyed the quality. Just my opinion, of course.

[@cortneyperfume_madness480]

CARNAL FLOWER❤
