Frédéric Malle
Carnal Flower EDP
“White tuberose at full bloom — maximalist, provocative, and completely unapologetic.”
The take
What works
- ●The definitive luxury tuberose — indolic, coconutty, magnificently alive
- ●Eucalyptus green note is a brilliant counterpoint to the white floral heart
- ●Exceptional longevity for a white floral
Trade-offs
- ●Intensely feminine — wrong for masculine wearers
- ●Tuberose indole can be overwhelming in small spaces
