How it moves

It arrives on bergamot, mandarin and lavender — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. Then the heart turns up — cinnamon and clove — and the whole thing slows down. Last to go: musk, vanilla and sandalwood.

What wearers say

4.2 out of 5 across 6,900 ratings — well loved, and not quietly.

  • Loved for its warm, sensual musk wrapped in vanilla, cinnamon, and amber; described as skin-like, cozy, and quietly seductive.
  • Most find moderate, intimate projection with good longevity, making it a bedroom-and-cuddle scent rather than a loud performer.
  • Regarded as a versatile, comforting unisex fragrance for cold weather; critics say it is pricey for a relatively simple spicy-musk.

Who made it

Maurice Roucel composed it in 2000, for Frédéric Malle in France. Roucel's warm, animalic vanilla-musk — an early Malle release that redefined the sensual, close-to-the-skin 'bedroom' scent.
