Dries Van Noten 3 x 10ml from the Frederic Malle collection. Ten years after founding Editions de Parfums, Frédéric Malle began a new perfume collection that translates the world of people and brands that he admires into scents. Inspired by Dries Van Noten’s rich alchemy, this perfume is built around natural sandalwood for its softness, character and the fact that it is simultaneously exotic and evocative of the tradition of great classic perfumes. The milky smell of Santal Mysore adds the vanilla sweetness of Flemish pastries with a hint of vanilla, ethyle maltol, sacrasol (sulfurol) and Peruvian balm. This monumental warmth is tempered by a large dose of jasmine absolute and a musk accord. A trace of saffron and patchouli gives this already very distinct ensemble a unique, almost leathery vibration. An overdose of lemon and bergamot offers a boost to this particularly contemporary structure and gives it the timeless aspect of the great perfumes from the beginning of the 20th century. This short formula, composed of very precious materials, generates a sober but distinct sensuality.
