Description: Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle Carnal Flower 50ml / 1.7oz Fresh batches, received late 2022 Brand New Imported direct from France and then stored in IDEAL perfume conditions ever since! All the above pictures are ours, to show you the bottle, and packaging. You will receive a new one of course! Carnal Flower or forbidden flower is a fragrance with the scent of tuberose. Tuberose is a beautiful and dangerous flower. In some cultures, it is not allowed for young women to feel its intoxicating scent after sunset. Tuberose is a symbol of forbidden pleasure, hiding its passionate, sensual character behind its fresh, white, floral face. Its intoxicating scent seduces many perfumers; Frederic Malle and creator Dominique Ropion tried to repeat this scent in their particular way. Frederic Malle was inspired for Carnal Flower during his visits to California, where everything smells like gardenia and tuberose. Dominique Ropion worked on development of the formula for more than two years. The perfume contains a larger dose of tuberose absolute than any other perfume. The composition opens with heavy, green notes of citrus leaves and branches. As tuberose develops, the green nuance passes into a note of camphora, which softens the opulent flowers unintrusively. Fruity nuances of melon and coconut add light and slightly gourmet sound to the composition and do not attract attention. The muse for this perfume was Frederic Malle’s aunt, famous actress Candice Bergen, who acted in the movie Carnal Knowledge with Jack Nicholsonom. The top notes contain: bergamot, melon and eucalyptus. The middle notes include: ylang-ylang, jasmine, tuberose, Salicylates (natural, toxic product of herbal origin, a sort of a herbal feromone which is used by plants as a warning). The base encompasses: tuberose absolute, orange blossom absolute, coconut and musk. The perfume was created in 2005. Perfume rating: 4.26 out of 5 with 1845 votes. The best perfume storage is completely dark, cool and low humidity. We have had this exact perfume storage; going back to 2015! It is not good for them to be in a retail store environment with fluorescent light! Even sealed in their original boxes, even if the boxes are black most stores DO NOT store their perfume properly. At all. They just hope to sell it within a year. Disclaimers/ things to know about Frederic Malle before buying The boxes often have minor imperfections such as slightly rounded or frayed corners (not sure if frayed is the right work, usually at the top), not completely flat boxes like bowed a touch, that's about it. See the pics I purposely never take pics of a pristine example, partly because you don't see them much. Unicorns lol The labels are usually imperfect, more than you would expect for the significant price. For example, most are a matte black label that pics up anything oily and it sticks- and most have some example of this straight from the factory. That one is sometimes easier to find a nearly perfect one, but it's still around 1 in 10. I cannot check before shipping, sorry. They aren't unicorns, maybe endangered. Like a panda bear All pictures you see here are mine. If a batch number is pictured(unless Aventus), it is simply to put your mind at ease if you use a website to look them up etc. We do not take pictures of every bottle of course, so you may get a different batch number. We ship from stock as we want you to be the first to open the box, whatever country it came from! Guaranteed authentic from Finescents. About Us / Shipping We started way back in 2014 selling Creed and splits, Aventus is still what the owner of Finescents wears daily! Incorporated in 2015 and trademarked in 2016, we continue to expand to new offerings but always keeping our grounded midwestern ethics. We don't lie or push or hype market in any capacity! Everything we sell is kept in light, temp, and humidity-controlled environment. We ALWAYS ship in new boxes, often in a padded mailer but there is a new box inside it. Double the protection! After the sale, the packaging is the first thing the customer sees, and we take great pride in packing and timely shipping. We often beat the Ebay estimated delivery time, but we cannot promise it. See our endless feedback going back years for many examples of our delivery speed, and on occasion some where it didn't go as well. We are human! We strive to do the extra when something does go wrong. It's easy the 99.9% of time when things go smoothly, where we really shine as a company and why we have been around so long is we go the extra mile when there is an issue! You will see the owner answer within minutes typically, day or night when something comes up. Thanks for your many years of support!
