Launched in 2000 by Jean-Claude Ellena for Frederic Malle, Angéliques Sous La Pluie is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that captures the essence of a rainy day. The composition opens with fresh and spicy notes that evoke the crispness of raindrops on leaves before settling into a warm, powdery base of musk and woody accords. This scent is neither overtly feminine nor masculine, making it an elegant choice for any gender.

Application Tips
Apply Angéliques Sous La Pluie lightly to pulse points; its powdery base notes emerge slowly over an hour. The fresh spicy top notes are best enjoyed in cooler weather when they linger longer.
Jean-Claude Ellena
Founding perfumer · 104 fragrances · French
As a disciple and close friend of the legendary Edmond Roudnitska (creator of “Le Parfum de Thérèse”), Jean-Claude Ellena began his career with a minimalistic approach to perfumery. Since then, he has developed this approach into his own distinctive style, which is continually informed by his elegant and quiet way of being, and has been compared by his contemporaries to watercolor sketches and chamber music. Jean-Claude says that a perfume must be like “a soft caress; nothing must shock, nothing must shout”.Jean-Claude Ellena was born in Grasse into a family of perfumers. His training began at age 17, in the most prestigious laboratories – in Grasse, Paris, New York and Geneva – where he always saw himself as self-taught. Roudnitska’s minimalism never left him, however, and his compositions remain focused around a single ingredient, avoiding repetition.
