    Portrait of a Lady and La Douleur Exquise are two different worlds to me. One is in your face…strong…a little overwhelming and sometimes I’m just happy to submit, the other is bit reserved, has a lot to say , takes it’s time because it’s confident and knows you’ll stick around to share the story.
    I love POAL, en Passant, l’eau d’hiver, Iris Poudre, Lys Mediterranea, Rose et Cuir , and Carnal Flower. And Synthetic Jungle…I really love that one…I like the flower notes in the bitterness. And the Vetiver one is fantastic. I don’t have these last two. I have Musc Rav. … it was a present and I loved it for about a week. To me, it’s a little boring….
    Rose et Cuir is so easy to wear. It reminds me a lot of Galop from Hemes.
    Nice video.

It can come off pretty peppery at first, but once it sits it is amazing. I feel pretty classy wearing it. This fragrance house has quickly become my favorite next to Le Labo.

    Hi Ramsey, great video. FM is one of my all time favourite brands. I have both POAL and La Doleur Exquise and I love them both. For me POAL is a spicy rose whereas LDE is more of an animalic rose with the big castoreum note. I'm looking to track down a vintage POAL but so far I haven't been successful in my search. I've only just recently started buying vintage so I'm not the best in tracking down the scents I want😂

    Enjoyed listening to your family portrait of the great house of Frederic Malle.
    I discovered Noire Epices last year. I am wearing it today because of your review I listened to last night.
    The warm spicy structure of clove, nutmeg and cinnamon are in many of our favorite Orientals with oud. Like Siberian Musk or Bortnikoff Mysterious Oud.
    Also with rose and the bitter Orange. I get tired of Oud sometimes, as it's weird in a way. This s is a great oriental without oud. It does have an amber base with woods. The rose is subdued, but r after 10 minutes in, becomes more appearant. The floral is more of a geranium/rose as in Rose and Cuir.
    When I first tried it, I thought it's not very spicy, as the name implied. But now I enjoy and pick up the black pepper, and get the "spicy" theme.

    I have 6 Frederic Malle fragrances - POAL, Musc Ravageur, Noir Epices, French Lover, Promise, and Lys Mediterranee. I love POAL and Musc Ravageur, but if I'm honest with myself, I'd mark Noir Epices as my favourite. I've smelled nothing else like it. Promise has this sharp medicinal tinge to it that I'm still struggling with, but it gets better every time I try it. French Lover wasn't at all what I expected when I got it, and last time I tried it, I really didn't find it very exciting. Lys Mediterranee is far and away the most potent fragrance I own. One spray just completely fills the whole room for a day - it's insane.
    I really want to sample a few others - Music for Awhile and the rest of the Desert Gems in particular.

    It's an amazing rank, thank you. I prefer so much more La Douleur Exquise than POAL. I appreciate the thickness and the technicality of the composition but brings no emotions to me, plus it's sweet. I genuinly don't understand the trend here. There's others gems in my opinion in FM collection : "Eau de Magnolia" (from Carlos Benaïm) and "Lys Méditéranée". Beautifull and poetic perfumes. Rose et Cuir is fantastic and unique.

    It's great that you did a review of Malle. They weren't my love at first sight. I was walking around of his perfumes for a long time but finally got their beauty. What do you think about Bigarade Concentré ? As for me, it is beautiful dry fresh scent, without "usual" freshness and sweetness. But the thing which stops me from getting it is it's longevity... But never the less, it would be very interesting to know what do you think about the fragrance as it is

    I bought Cuir Ottoman when it first came out years ago in the 100 ml bottle, and my experience of the fragrance was (and still is) just the same as yours: soft sillage, moderate projection and poor longevity. I don't regret the purchase at all, though, but i dont think you need to seek out a vintage botle as both the old and new formulations sound identical. Just my two cents; others might have a different opinion. Coincidentally, I wore this today for the first time in years, and then I stumbled upon your video and felt compelled to chime in 😀

    Hi Ramsey, I'm not into Frederic Malle's perfumes. I've tested most of them and I didn't get impressed by any of them. The only one I did like more it was Monsieur. but I think it's not worthy... for me I mean.
    They're good but no-one caught my attetion to pay what they ask for.
    Anyway, fantastic and entertaining video.

    If you’re thinking about getting The Moon like I was, seek out the vintages. Just got 10ml decant of the new stuff, dumped a full 1ml on myself and my friends in an enclosed room didn’t even know I was wearing perfume until I mentioned it and had them sniff me directly up close. And it’s gone in like 6 hours tops. 😢
    The only way I was going to justify the price of a bottle if this was how well it was supposed to perform so I could conserve sprays. Unfortunately, not anymore. So far, I’ve found I need to spray 6-7 times and respray every 5 to 6 hours. My 10ml decant is half gone in 2 days! 😮

      To contrast, I A/Bed with Roja’s Amber Aoud since they fill a similar goal of sweet, fruity, western-ish oud, and that blew it out of the water on performance (and I got it at a discounter for half the price of the Malle per ml). But the Moon is still very very good, and you can actually smell the Oud in it 😅 I’ll pick up a bottle eventually but will wait for a really good deal. Promise comes first…

    • @RamseytheRam

    • @scottmcarronlewis
      @scottmcarronlewis ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok, the seller (ebayer) is adamant that the bottle is legit but I have high doubts as they can’t send a picture or any other proof of legitimacy. I got yet another decant, this time from an online shop (can’t seem to find one straight from FM) and it is a lot different-> much deeper, more natural, less synthetic… I’m pretty sure the first I got was a cheap clone (honestly still beautiful if not a bit weak), just for the record here. Still not particularly strong. I’d rate the performance as average, 5/10, def not close to nuclear. In any case, will be picking up a FB very soon. I’ll just be sure the seller has a good return policy.
      Also sampled Rose & Cuir and Monsieur. Both amazing! I had only tried PoaL and a couple others before, but I am definitely a big fan of this house now. I can’t believe I’ve waited so long to get FBs of FM.

I just got CF this month which seems to fit the bill too. My FL is 80-90% used from a 100ml so yes I’ve worn it a lot. It’s amazing but spice and wood and royal Oud in creed both being similar takes some of the originality away and the performance is definitely the weakest from everything else I own. I’ve never had anyone notice FL more than an hour or 90 minutes after applying. Maybe once.

    I usually don’t buy a full bottle until a scent “haunts” me because they’re so friggin expensive. I’ve been smelling many FM perfumes in the last few months and only Promise, POAL, Iris Poudre, and Lys Mediterranee have made me long for smelling them again and again. Bigarade Concentre is enjoyable but not memorable. I can’t understand how MR is that popular. To each their own I guess, or maybe the reformulation is in fact a quality regression.

    Frederic Malle is my favorite parfum house! The quality is very good and the smell is very natural! Yes, it's difficult to get a vintage bottle, I only have on vintage bottle in my collection being it une rose 50 ml ( bought for 90€) here in Madrid Frome somebody who didn't liked it, but for me is like paradise smell! In My collection I almost have 40 bottles of Frederick Malle, i want to complete all pieces 😅! About promise , I have bought 5 bottles , sometimes people here in Madrid are selling Frederic Malle bottles, because at the first sniff they don't like it,😂 and that's good for me. Bought almost all the bottles at half of price, eldor example promise I bought for 130€ 2 bottles 100ml, and 160€ for another 2 bottles 100ml, and last one 30 ml left for 80€! For me it's a sin not to buy them for this price😂! Also bought 4 bottles of portrait of a lady for the same price more or less! 2 bottles of noire epices. 3 bottles of lipstick rose. 2 bottles of en passant. (All of them 100 ml). 4 bottles of uncut gem , some of them for 100€- 130. Also got, 1 of music for a while, 1 le parfum de Therese, 1 geranium pour monsieur, 2 of Angeliques sous la Pluie, 2 of rose and cuir, 1 of monsieur, 1 the night, 1 the moon, 2 carnal flower, 1 of une rose 50 ml vintage and 2 of 100ml being this my favorite natural rose fragrance. For sure I'm missing a few bottles that I have but I forgot now. I'm not spending money of alcohol, clubs and girls, and dit that 2 times a month I can buy a bottle, waiting for the right moment for a very good deal😅! I'm 27 years old, and in the future I'm sure I'll complete all the collection! People don't understand my hobby but I don't care😂, when almost all the people waste money on bad things , I prefer to buy something awesome! Best regards from Madrid, see you! 😊

It was used since the turn of the 20th century and produced by the great aroma-producing firm of De Laire, a composite made by Marie Thérèse de Laire. Edgar de Laire's wife gave birth to the new branch of the factory dedicated to the production of aromatic compounds in 1895. Founded by chemist Georges de Laire (1836-1908).

    I got wierd experience with promise, at the first 3 wears i literally could smelled it on my skin the whole day that green, apple in the opening with the cypriol & castorium mingling at each other beautifully at the base , but the next few wear it dissapear it doesn't seem to be as long lasting or projecting like it should
    Fast forwards a more months now i tried it again and with having more "all natural" ingredients fragrance in my arsenal , i feel i got robbed a lot of money by it not "filling" my nose enough... but then i go with promise and yeah it the others bottles out of the park , all the synthetic talk just adds to the wearing experience for me i love it, just sharing my thoughts ❤
