The story behind the bottle.
Carnal Flower Limited Edition 2018, created by Dominique Ropion and launched in 2018 for Frederic Malle's niche fragrance house, is a unisex floral masterpiece. It opens with a radiant citrus note that cuts through the richness of tuberose and white florals, creating an unexpected tension. The base notes of woody and sweet accords ground this composition, offering a warm embrace after the initial freshness fades.
Apply sparingly to pulse points — the parfum concentration ensures long-lasting warmth and depth. The citrus top note is bright but fleeting, so allow the richer floral and woody accords to develop on your skin over time.
