COLOGNE BIGARADE’ À LA FRANÇAISE
When life gives you bitter oranges, the French will make a bigarade. An overdose of refined essence of bitter orange, or "bigarade" as they say in Provence, embellished with cardamom and pink pepper on a woody base of hay and cedar, heralds a new generation of "eaux" called by Frederic Malle COLOGNE BIGARADE. A simple name and formula for an air of pure sophistication that appeals both gents and ladies who love everything French.

PERFUMERY AS SELF PLEASURE GENEROUSLY SHARED
Sometimes, less is indeed more. That seems to be a belief shared by master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, who started working with 1,200 ingredients and gradually narrowed the palette to 110. Born into a perfumer family in Grasse, the epicenter of the French perfume industry, Ellena's profound connection with fragrance was cultivated from a young age. His journey in perfumery started at only 16 years old and has been marked by a constant quest for innovation and a deep understanding of olfactory elements, which he has also explored through authoring books like "Perfume: The Alchemy of Scent."
