Carnal Flower
Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle is a Floral fragrance for women and men. Carnal Flower was launched in 2005. The nose behind this fragrance is Dominique Ropion.
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 Nicholson.

Note that the scent, color, or sometimes even the performance of the perfume may slightly vary depending on varying factors; such as difference in formulations, age of the perfume, or even if the bottle is freshly opened or sprayed may differ from the bottle that has been opened or sprayed some time ago. All of these are normal and it doesn’t mean that the perfume is fake or has gone bad. Please also note that I am not a professional chemist or perfumer.
