Editions De Parfums Frederic Malle Promise

Promise by Frédéric Malle is an Oriental Floral fragrance for both women and men, launched in 2017. Created by the legendary perfumer Dominique Ropion, Promise is a captivating and sensual scent that celebrates the strong bonds of connection and the allure of deep, timeless love.

The top notes open with a vibrant and spicy combination of Apple, Pink Pepper, Rosemary, Saffron, and Cloves, creating an intriguing and complex introduction. The crisp freshness of Apple is balanced by the spicy warmth of Pink Pepper and Cloves, while Rosemary and Saffron add a touch of herbal richness and exotic warmth.

In the heart, the fragrance moves into the opulent realm of florals with Bulgarian Rose and Turkish Rose. These two iconic rose varieties provide a rich, romantic, and slightly spicy floral bouquet that enhances the luxurious feel of the fragrance.

The base notes of Cypriol Oil (Nagarmotha), Patchouli, Castoreum, Labdanum, and Ambroxan anchor the fragrance with a deep, sensual foundation. Cypriol Oil, a plant native to India, serves as a nod to the precious oud (often referred to as "black gold") and contributes a rich, earthy, and smoky depth that pairs beautifully with the floral heart. Patchouli brings a woody, earthy richness, while Castoreum adds a leathery, animalic touch, and Labdanum contributes a resinous, amber-like warmth. The addition of Ambroxan lends a modern, musky depth that adds to the fragrance's seductive character.

Promise is a fragrance that evokes the powerful connection between two people, with its rich, complex, and deeply sensual composition. It’s a scent that mesmerizes, drawing in those around with its magnetic appeal. The harmonious balance between the bold spices, luxurious roses, and earthy woods creates an unmistakable fragrance that lingers long after the wearer has gone.

Promise by Frédéric Malle is a fragrance that celebrates the irresistible allure of deep connections, drawing on rich Middle Eastern influences to create a complex, captivating scent that is both timeless and seductive.
