Key Notes of Dries Van Noten par Frédéric Malle

What Does Dries Van Noten par Frédéric Malle Smell Like

Dries Van Noten par Frédéric Malle is a delectably complex fragrance that captures the essence of a sweet and spicy culinary journey. From the initial spritz, you're greeted by an invigorating burst of Calabrian lemon and bergamot, swiftly followed by the warming, exotic spice of saffron, nutmeg, and a subtle hint of clove-like carnation.

As the scent evolves, it reveals a rich and creamy heart where the distinguished scent of Mysore sandalwood takes center stage. It's complemented beautifully by the deep, earthy tones of patchouli and the soft, seductive whispers of Egyptian jasmine absolute.

The dry-down is an indulgent treat, like a warm, aromatic dessert. The comforting, rich aroma of vanilla becomes apparent, mingling with the sensual, almost skin-like scent of musk. Peru balsam adds a velvety, resinous sweetness, while Sulfurol brings a hint of savory intrigue, reminiscent of freshly baked bread.

In essence, Dries Van Noten par Frédéric Malle is a scent of contrasts – the initial spice and citrus, the deep, woody heart, and the sweet, gourmand base - all combine to create an intriguing fragrance that's both comforting and unexpected.
