ITS CREATOR: CARLOS BENAÏM

This time the conversation between Frédéric Malle and Carlos Benaïm revolved around the headspaceanalysis of the magnolia and the fact that this flower is closer to an Eau de Cologne than to a classic flower. Carlos then s ested magnifying the citric balance of the magnolia to enhance the Eau de Cologne effect and to add a woody vibration to give it depth and sensuality. The result is a fresh chypre, an extraordinarily transparent and very natural smelling note, enlivened by a dark base (vetiver, patchouli) that conveys a touch of mystery. A timeless summer perfume.
