EDITIONS DE PARFUMS FREDERIC MALLE Noir Epices Parfum

About the Perfume: Some fragrances revel in their ambiguity. Noir Epices is an Oriental, which spares the vanilla and embraces spicy notes that suggest exotic and mysterious journeys. Long on nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and pepper, Michel Roudnitska's scent is topped with geranium and backed by precious woods, including sandalwood and patchouli. Top notes of orange and geranium are subtly illumined by rose, which, like all masterful paintings, reveal that even darkness is made of light. Unafraid of the dark About the Perfumer: Born in 1948, Michel Roudnitska spent his childhood in his parents' laboratory. Initiated for almost ten years to the art of composition by his father, Edmond Roudnitska, he broadened his artistic expression by becoming a photographer and director. Since 1997, he has been running the creation studio Art & Parfum where he creates perfumes of great aesthetic rigor. Michel Roudnitska is one of the only perfumers who, like his father, envisions his trade like an artist in the broad sense of the term.
