The story behind the bottle.
Malmaison by Floris was launched in 2000 as an elegant floral fragrance for women, blending warm spices and woody notes to create a rich, layered experience. The composition opens with the sharp bite of clove and cinnamon, followed by Amalfi lemon's bright zest. At its heart, carnation and rose intertwine with ylang-ylang, while the base of Virginia cedar, patchouli, vanilla, and musk grounds it in warmth and depth.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The spicy top notes are bright but fleeting, so the fragrance's warmth and depth will be most noticeable after about half an hour. Ideal for evenings when you want a scent that is warm yet understated.
