Pimiento, angelica and juniper open it, and patchouli, vetiver and frankincense carry the base. It is a spicy, aromatic Eau de Parfum built on dry green notes and incense rather than on sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Pimiento, Angelica, Juniper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Patchouli, Vetiver, Frankincense\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA peppery, green start\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top is pimiento, angelica and juniper: a sweet-hot pepper note, a green herbal bite and the clean, resinous sharpness of juniper. The start is spiced, green and dry, without a trace of sweetness, and it sets up the aromatic core that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAngelica at the centre\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand puts angelica at the centre, together with capsicum and galbanum, and speaks of a masculine ideal that has nothing to prove. This is the aromatic core of the scent: peppery, dry and green, kept steady rather than loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncense and roots\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is patchouli, vetiver and frankincense. The brand says a background of patchouli and white musk revives the incense, so the smoke comes back later in the wear. Vetiver adds a dry, rooty depth, and the finish is earthy, resinous and calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dry, aromatic scent like this does best on skin that is warm but not hot. One spray on each side of the neck and one on the chest is enough, and the incense comes back as it settles. It is comfortable at the office and keeps its shape in cool, dry weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who prefer green, peppery, resinous scents to sweet ones, and who value a woody base of vetiver and incense. It suits the office, dinners and the cooler months. The brand calls it a masculine ideal and lists it on its men's page, but the dry, aromatic style will appeal to anyone who likes it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Frederic Malle French Lover\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePierre Bourdon signed French Lover in 2007, and the house gives its perfumers complete creative freedom and as much time as they need. The result is a pyramid with a clear plan: a spiced, green start and a base of patchouli, vetiver and frankincense. Nothing in the listed pyramid is sweet, which gives the scent its dry, straight character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat concentration and size is it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt comes as an Eau de Parfum in a 50 ml bottle; its patchouli, vetiver and frankincense base gives that concentration a dry, steady body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs French Lover spicy?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, in a dry, peppery way. Pimiento and angelica open the scent, and the brand classes it as spicy aromatic. It is not a sweet, warm spice, more a green and resinous one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it only for men?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand calls it a masculine ideal and lists it on its men's page only. The dry, aromatic style, though, is a matter of taste rather than gender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen is it best worn?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cool and mild weather, by day or in the evening. The green, peppery start and the incense base fit offices, dinners and autumn or spring days; strong summer heat suits it less.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frederic Malle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67658480287896,"sku":"FMA-FRENCH-LOVER-EDP-50ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/1157\/8520\/files\/frederic-malle-french-lover-eau-de-parfum-50ml.webp?v=1791360597","url":"https:\/\/nichegems.eu\/products\/frederic-malle-french-lover-eau-de-parfum-50ml","provider":"NicheGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
