The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017 by Fanny Bal for Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle, Sale Gosse is a composition that balances fresh and spicy notes with woody and floral undertones. The fragrance opens with a burst of citrus and aromatic herbs before transitioning into a heart of white florals and green accords, creating an atmosphere that is both vibrant and serene. Fanny Bal’s signature style shines through in this unisex creation, which captures the essence of crisp freshness while maintaining a subtle warmth.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for optimal longevity. The citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour, so the woody base notes will carry you through the rest of the day.
