The brand calls tuberose the most fatal of flowers. The scent starts fresh and innocent with melon and green notes, shows an animalic side in the middle and settles into milky tuberose and musk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Water fruits (melon), Vegetal notes, Tuberose (fresh aspect)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Tuberose (milky aspect), Musk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFresh and almost innocent\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand describes the first impression as a fresh, innocent bouquet. The top is built from water fruits, with melon named, from vegetal notes and from the fresh aspect of tuberose, so the start is cool, juicy and slightly green rather than heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe animal side\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween the opening and the base the flower changes character. The brand speaks of an animalic side lifted with camphor and dark spices, the point where the tuberose absolute shows how much of it is in the bottle. It is the most intense, least tame stage of the scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMilk and white musk\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is the milky aspect of tuberose together with musk, and the brand adds white musk to the picture. These soften what came before and give the flower a creamy, smooth finish close to the skin. The sharp edges are gone, but tuberose stays the main voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is concentrated tuberose, so apply it with restraint. One spray on the chest or the back of the neck is enough to be noticed across a table; two will fill a small room. The fresh start keeps it wearable in warm weather, but the middle is strong, so leave the wrists alone if you want it quieter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who love white flowers and want one that is taken seriously instead of softened into a bouquet. It suits those who value a floral with a living, slightly animalic side and want a scent with presence at dinners and events. Whoever wears it, the question is whether you want a tuberose with this much presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Frederic Malle Carnal Flower\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRopion built the whole perfume around one material, tuberose absolute, used at a very high concentration. That focus gives a clear shape: fresh melon and green notes first, an animalic middle, a milky musk finish. The house gives its perfumers complete creative freedom, and a perfume centred on one absolute puts that freedom to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat are its concentration and size?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is an Eau de Parfum, and this bottle holds 100 ml. With tuberose absolute at its centre, the concentration shows in the density of the scent, not only in how long it stays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Carnal Flower a fresh or a heavy tuberose?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth, in that order. It begins fresh, with melon, green notes and a cool aspect of tuberose, then turns animalic and warm, and ends milky and soft with musk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy are no heart notes listed?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand's own page lists only top and base notes, so that is what is shown here. The brand's description fills the middle in words: an animalic side, camphor and dark spices, then milky softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes it make a good gift?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor someone who loves white flowers, yes. It is a strong, unmistakable tuberose, so it suits a person who likes florals with character more readily than one who prefers light, fleeting scents.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frederic Malle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67658479829144,"sku":"FMA-CARNAL-FLOWER-EDP-100ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/1157\/8520\/files\/frederic-malle-carnal-flower-eau-de-parfum-100ml.webp?v=1791360594","url":"https:\/\/nichegems.eu\/products\/frederic-malle-carnal-flower-eau-de-parfum-100ml","provider":"NicheGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
