About
Le Parfum de Therese by Frederic Malle is a Chypre Fruity fragrance for women and men. Le Parfum de Therese was launched in 2000. The nose behind this fragrance is Edmond Roudnitska. Top notes are Melon and Tangerine; middle notes are Plum and Rose; base notes are Leather, Vetiver and Cedar. Le Parfum de Therese is an unique perfume with a composition that was way ahead of its time, made by Edmond Roudnitska in 1950s (1957-1965). He made it for his wife, and up until Frederic Malle was founded, it was in Teresa’s personal use only. After many years Teresa decided to give the formula to Frederic Malle to include it to the collection and to insure immortality and glory for this beautiful Edmond Roudnitska’s creation. Fruity aquatic accords, discovered way earlier than fruity and aquatic fragrances became common, open the composition with tangerine and melon and lead to the heart of rose and plum. Cedar, vetiver and leather finish the composition. This unique fragrance is modern and beautifully antique at the same time.

About
Valentino Donna Noir Absolu by Valentino is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Valentino Donna Noir Absolu was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Sonia Constant. Top note is Pepper; middle notes are Plum, Liquor and Rose; base notes are Leather and Sandalwood. "Valentino Donna Noir Absolu translates a vivid femininity, narcotic and voluptuous. This leathery gourmand oriental fragrance is a collision between the spice of black pepper and a lascivious rose. The decadence of plum liquor meets sensuous leather and sandalwood, and the effect is utterly addictive. The Valentino Noir Absolu fragrances are presented in ebony studded glass bottles with gold accents, signifiers of defiant grace."Top note: Black Pepper Heart: Rose, Plum Liquor Base: Leather, SandalwoodAvailable as a 100 ml EDP.
