Promise
Rose with the thorns left on, then cardamom. Frédéric Malle Promise has a sense of occasion.
How it moves
It arrives on cinnamon and cardamom — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. The middle belongs to rose and agarwood (oud). What is left hours later is sandalwood, cistus and ambrette, and that is the part people follow you for.

Who made it
Dominique Ropion composed it in 2017, for Frédéric Malle in France. A warm, spicy rose-oud inspired by the sensuality of Middle Eastern perfumery, more wearable and softer than The Night.
