The Ultimate Gentleman: Capturing Sensual Parisian Elegance

Frederic Malle French Lover (also known as Bois d'Orage in some markets) is the pinnacle of modern masculine sophistication. Released in 2007 and crafted by the legendary perfumer Pierre Bourdon, this exquisite woody-fougere scent is designed to underscore the nobility, respectability, and quiet confidence of its wearer.

Inspired by the poignant French black-and-white film "Le Feu Follet" (The Fire Within), French Lover possesses a character that is deeply sensual, intensely elegant, and utterly compelling. Despite the concise formula, the scent is a masterpiece of harmony—whole, round, and incredibly rich-smelling. It is the definitive "gentleman's scent," making a luxurious statement without ever shouting.

This powerful yet delicate Eau de Parfum works perfectly with business attire or smart casual wear. It is ideal for high-stakes negotiations, business meetings, intimate dates, or formal events. Its inherent refinement ensures it performs beautifully in any weather or season, making it a truly versatile signature scent for the discerning individual.

Why French Lover is an Enduring Classic (Key Features):

• Master Perfumer: Created by Pierre Bourdon, known for his masterful, classic compositions.

• Refined Masculinity: A scent that projects maturity, authority, and subtle sensuality—the ideal portrait of a sophisticated man.

• Unique Green Spice: Blends sharp Galbanum and Angelika with fierce spices, creating an invigorating yet warm opening.

• Timeless Versatility: Suitable for both day and evening wear, functioning as the ultimate year-round signature.

The Intriguing Olfactory Journey:

• The Opening (The Sharp Intrigue): The composition begins with a vibrant rush of juicy greenness from Galbanum, immediately heightened by the fervent temperament of Fiery Spices. This combination creates an intriguing, sharp prologue.

• The Heart (The Noble Core): The middle notes introduce the scent's dignified heart. The spicy facets of Angelica blend seamlessly with the majestic resonance of Cedar Wood and the fine trails of smoky Incense (Frankincense).

• The Base (The Enduring Authority): The finish is a captivating, sensual symphony. It features the suede-like softness of Oakmoss, the dry, grassy chords of Vetiver, and the clean, silky smoothness of White Musk. All together, they create an attractive and compelling trail that is simply impossible to resist.

French Lover solves the problem of finding a woody scent that is both powerful and elegantly nuanced, perfect for the modern professional.
