FREDERIC MALLE Une Fleur De Cassie Parfum

The rare and exotic cassie flower is not easily tamed. Intoxicating and coarse, its fragrance is from another era. However, Dominique Ropion's modern and infinitely precise writing makes Une Fleur de Cassie a very contemporary creation. This perfume is composed of rare ingredients such as mimosa absolute, jasmine absolute, cassia absolute and rose absolute, with carnation as a counterpoint, set upon a vanilla and sandalwood base. Rich, intricate, complex - like an haute couture gown. Dominique Ropion trained at the legendary Roure Bertrand Dupont laboratory before going to work with Jean-Louis Sieuzac, one of the perfumery world's great technicians. Today he is a star perfumer at IFF. What makes Ropion's work special is the mix of precision and freedom, and his quest to create new, harmonious accords by pairing ingredients, which are polar opposites. An adventurer who abandons himself to instinct, Dominique Ropion is also extremely rigorous in the final stages of the formulation of each of his fragrances.
