French Lover by Frédéric Malle
- Created: 2007
- For: Men
- type: Woody - Aromatic
A masculine scent of wood and angelica composed by fragrance designer Pierre Bourdon
Story
Working with designer Pierre Bourdon, Frédéric Malle’s original idea was a fuller-bodied version of the fragrance Angéliques sous la Pluie. But they went beyond that concept, arriving at a sophisticated, full-bodied, ‘super-sensual but not trashy’ scent. A sort of plant-based animal quality that immediately evoked a man’s odor for the creators. As for the name, Frédéric Malle was hesitating. ‘Angélique / Bois’? ‘Angélique Intense’? Then one day in New York, he met a friend for lunch, ‘drenched in trial n° 34 C’. When she embraced him in greeting, she exclaimed: ‘Ooh, very French Lover!’ Et voilà, the name was found!

USER REVIEWS
by Gogolsnose, posted 02.23.2012While I generally love FM fragrances, this one is a disappointment. It goes soft very quickly, It talks, but does not perform. Nice to look at, but fades too quickly. A very dry, simple scent. Leaves a delicious incensey aftertaste, but that's all. More
