The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by Dries Van Noten and crafted by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Fleur du Mal is a unisex fragrance that marries the sweetness of peach with the depth of suede. The top note of ripe peach introduces an immediate warmth and brightness, while osmanthus and jasmine create a lush floral heart that feels both familiar and unexpected. This floral bouquet softens into a base of suede and amber, lending a powdery, musky warmth that grounds the composition in earthy sensuality.

How to wear it

Apply Fleur du Mal in light sprays to capture its full evolution. The fruity top notes are fleeting but impactful; focus on the base for lasting warmth. It pairs beautifully with layers of clothing, allowing it to develop close to skin rather than projecting across a room.
