Not only for Women, but also for Men ;) Probably one of the best unisex fragrances of 21st Century. Unique, elegant, sensuelle, sexy, mysterious, exotic...a real Casta Diva!
I don't usually like florals but after experiencing some perfumes in the Malle collection, I realize I had no idea how florals should be used in perfumes for men. Geranium Pour Monsieur absolutely melted me.... and my girlfriend. To any guys who doubt that florals can work for you, try some perfumes from this collection. They know how to use florals.
i was also of that sentiment at the beginning of my fragrance journey.if it wasn't boozy,musky,woody,i wasn't interested,then i smelled porpora by tiziana terenzi and rose fragrances became my favourite.
@@danielthomas5810 , do you think Geranium Pour Monsieur can be a blind buy? I am looking to get it for my husband. Sadly, I don’t have department stores near by that carry Frederic Malle perfumes.
I understand the hesitation from Mr. Malle that this perfume could almost be too sublime for real life. One wonders whether one is the woman the scent projects, whether one can be… this perfume changed my nose forever, and makes me want to rise to the occasion. She dares you to meet her where she is.
I have a 2015 batch of portrait of a lady and its incredible, just 1 spray fills the room, i believe its classed as a vintage batch its 83% , wonderful, i only habe around 30ml left but it will last me years coz i only need 1 spray of it 😀 i love frederic malle
Two Weeks Ago I Was Doing Research For New Colognes To Buy And I Just Found Out About Frederic Malle. ( Yes I Have My Favorites I Always Buy ) Many Thanks To Other TH-camrs Talking About These Colognes With Lots Of Positive Videos About The Brand. So I Figured I'll Acquired The Essential Collection As I'm Curious For New Scents To Try Out And Wow...., I Was Blown Away With Monsieur As It's A More Dominant Scent. I Did Buy The Full Bottle A Week Later. Musc Ravageur Was My 2ND Favorite From The Six Samples. Yesterday Was Shopping And Saw And Picked Up A 10ml Tester Of Portrait Of A Lady As Stated Lots Of Positive Feedback, I Absolutely Love It. I Will Pick Up A Full Bottle In The Spring, Also Try More Samples I Haven't Tried Yet In The Near Future. I Recommend Trying Samples And You'll Be Surprized At The Quality Of The Scents As There's So Much Going On. Merci Frederic Malle !
I have this fragrance, once u spray on your skin this fragrance smells rose, cumin, patchouli, a little bit of blackcurrant scents and it will stays tingling on your skin for about 5 hours if 2 spray. luxurious scent and head turner fragrance.
I really really like POAL. I just finished my old batch and I'm kinda hesitant to buy the new reformulated because I hear that there's issues with performance, not as strong as the batch that I have. Any thoughts?
Unless they’re straight up lying to us I think that this is a psychological phenomenon where one person plants the seed of doubt and then we have confirmation bias that it’s true. I sprayed POAL last night one single time on my wrist and it’s still going strong at 3pm the next day. Also our own hormones etc can change over the years. Not trying to invalidate your experience but it doesn’t make much sense, unless the ingredients themselves have diminished in quality, perhaps owing to environmental factors, like if the soil the roses are grown in has changed.
I bought the 3.5 bottle, I love it. But so many people have said it has become watered down through reformulation and is weaker in the Turkish rose note, projection, and longevity. Wish I could have smelled it before they changed the formula, but I do like smell of the version I have. I was interested in Musc Ravageur too, but seems they changed formula for that one also, and it is weaker in every area too. From my experience it seems 2 or 3 sprays is good and will last the day, but 5 sprays is definitely too much 😂 but I heard original formula you only needed one spray, so you can see that clearly there is a difference in the quality now.
Dear Michael, we are thrilled to read you and hear you re a POAL lover ! we can assure you that the formula has never been modified. The exuberant dose of Turkish rose - 400 flowers per 100ml bottle, no less, has never changed. Same for Musc Ravageur. Do not hesitate to meet our expert in our boutiques or contact us for any questions you may have, or uf you want to deep dive more in the universe of Editions de Parfums. Best regards, EDPFM team
@@FredericMalle Thank you! I will be visiting your boutique very soon, the one in West Hollywood California, and hoping to find a new favorite 😀 I live in Los Angeles and was happy to find you have a shop here!
why does this always happen! ugh. Am about to buy Portrait but was worried about how it might smell now after 12 plus years on the market...too expensive to be let down like that. I stopped buying Chanel perfumes 20 years ago as the formulations have been utterly watered down and bastardized since my first bottle in '85.
I have been told by another perfumer this has no real rose is this true otherwise saying 400 roses in a bottle is misleading and false advertising to consumers its been said its very clever manipulation of aroma chemicals . I have been wanting to buy this but hesitant to do so as I respect the other perfumers views too .
Dear Porous, you have been misinformed. It is absolutely a fact that an exuberant dose of Turkish rose - 400 flowers per 100ml bottle - is in the perfume.
@@FredericMalle thanks for the response i cant mention the perfumer who said this however i now have the peace of mind to buy it for myself . I did by Musc Ravageur in the interim .This is now my next buy. Thank you once again for clarifying.
C’est honteux ce que vous avez fait de Portrait of a lady ! 😡 Il n’est plus que l’ombre de lui-même, délavé, lui qui était si profond et dont le sillage était fou. Nous sommes de nombreux amoureux du parfum à ne pas comprendre ce qui se passe chez Frédéric Malle et en particulier avec POAL et les prix sont de plus en plus exorbitants ! C’était un magnifique parfum. Il n’est plus. Passez votre chemin…

Nom de la musique s’il vous plaît ?
My holy grail fragrance. If i could only wear one fragrance for the rest of my life, this would be it.
That's a tall task. I have it, but have yet to wear it. I'm actually kind of nervous, LMAO

Beautiful I need to know the piece of music please🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️👌
Bought a decant.
Thank you and have a great day.
It’s retro-rich granny lol I crave the scent and wear it to bed! Dominique is a nose genius!

What year is yours? Is it the new batch?
Dear Editions de parfums Frederic Malle, please, may you tell what a name of background opera is? It is bijou.
Monsieur Malle, can you please tell me in which department stores can I purchase Portrait of a Lady and Musc Ravageur in the United States?? Merci.
Where can i get a sample? I'd like to try it on my skin first before purchasing. This is such an investment for its price.
Dear Belle, if there is a store or a corner around you, please visit us. If not, you can go online to order a sample. Kind regards. EDPFM
Can anyone please tell me what is the background music name, such a elegant opera clip.
Maria calas
The title please
Have you found out? I listened to every aria clip Maria sung on Apple Music, but none was this
@@anandakai8028
Ave Maria . Bach . Maria Callas
@@mariakolivaki5699 not the same, unfortunately.
I really really like POAL. I just finished my old batch and I'm kinda hesitant to buy the new reformulated because I hear that there's issues with performance, not as strong as the batch that I have. Any thoughts?
They responded to a similar comment under this video assuring POAL wasn’t reformulated
@@makpopful it was because i tried a sample from a 2022 batch and it's awful. Turns into a skin scent after 2 hours
@@pullingthestrings5233did you eventually buy a new one?

Promise.
If you can find a vintage Musc Ravageur, then buy that one.
