PAVILLON ROUGE
Woody, oriental
As daylight starts to decline, a schooner is busy readying itself to dock. It’s distinctive lines leave no doubt to the sharpened eye of an onlooker. “This one must be a privateer…” mumble the old people assembled in the port as they gaze across at the looming warship; “he must have made a mistake, docking here!” As the wind rises there can be no more ambiguity for a Jolly Roger slams into view and whistles a Memento Mori that reminds us that life is fragile, so we must live it well. But here the skull and crossbones are emblazoned on a red flag, meaning a short but good life is better!
Sucked in by the promises of the amber and vanilla aromas of rum and whiskey, a buccaneer rushes out onto the dock and blends into the crowd for a fleeting moment of tranquility during his overnight stopover. He knows that his proud ship will be gone before dawn. Disappeared completely, leaving only a trail of exotic spices and the precious woods of the treasures that fill his holds alongside the promise he made to an elegant woman to return one day “provided God gives her life”.
A perfume of conquest and adventure, Pavillon Rouge is an ode to life. It invites conquering both day and night, without any fear and with the confidence of those who have braved death for some long-lost fortune or legendary glory.

INCIDENT DIPLOMATIQUE
Woody, aromatic
We brush by it, we risk it, without ever thinking about the consequences… Incident Diplomatique clearly possesses its share of superb provocation – bold, owned, and entirely inevitable when desire exudes from our every pore. As unexpected as it is audacious, the fragrance refuses convention and knowingly parades itself. Just as we might give into a staggering impulse too strong to resist, it declares its urges, teasing tension to the breaking point…
Vetiver, mandarine, patchouli
L ART DE LA GUERRE
Fern, aromatic
The end justifies the means. For women and men, the spirit of conquest sometimes leads us down unexpected paths. To win the most worthy of all battles – the game of seduction –, there need to be strategies, sharp tactics and the determined desire, always, to triumph. On a playing field that only men used to enjoy, L’Art de la Guerre shakes up the rules, mixing the nostalgic freshness of fern with the spicy and smoky notes of eternity.
Rhubarb, violet leaf, oakmoss
GARDEZ – MOI
floral
An elegant femme fatale with a Parisian soul and legs that go on forever, this powerful woman has made her intense femininity a formidable weapon of mass seduction. From Paris’s place Vendôme to rue de la Paix, she walks casually and nonchalantly on dagger-sharp stilettos. Heads turn as she passes. The opulent white flowers in her wake make even the boldest look away.
Tomato leaf, gardenia, raspberry
LES YEUX SONT FAITS
Leather, aromatic, woody
No half measures. This powerful juice exalts the confident virility of those who play life heads or tails, who bet red, odd numbers and high, who are just as comfortable at an electric boxing match as in the subtle atmosphere of a casino. With discreet aromas of gin and old Cuban rum, it conjures up an elegant and reassuring masculinity with a bit of rogue charm, like movie stars from the ’50s and ’60s. They never hesitated to defend their or their lady’s honour with their fists.
Angelica, rum, cistus
PRIVATE LABEL
Oriental, woody
This ideal and contemporary oriental fragrance’s trail is as elegant as it is powerful. Both leathery and smoky, it is a highly recognisable signature scent that is exclusively for strong personalities, men and women, confident of who they are in all circumstances. A restricted circle of people who are passionate about life, who don’t need recognition from others to exist and who stand by their choices with unshakeable self-assurance.
Papyrus, sandalwood, vetiver
White and black, good and bad, wisdom and madness, sun and night… Ever since the beginning of time, the fig tree has revealed its magical, luminous and magnetic powers. Yet where, among its astonishing green freshness and its solar sensuality, lies the truth? Without a doubt, it is in the contentment that comes when thinking of nothing, letting ourselves slip little by little into absolute serenity, savouring the present moment exactly under the sun. The wisdom of this Tree of Enlightenment guides each of us to the discovery of our true desires.

AMBRE PREMIER
Oriental
Beware of first impressions… A sweet whisper brings to mind cotton candy – simple innocence, and yet Ambre Premier hides its real intentions and lives up to its name. Grandiose and out to conquer, it tattoos skin with a voluptuous and indelible mark that leaves nothing to chance and even less to weakness. Night time is its preferred domain, passionate nights that are profound and sensual, where the heat of its lingering wake collides with the first light of dawn, as if to better defy the day.
Spices, rose, amber
PSYCHEDELIQUE
Woody, oriental
Peace and love forever… This ‘revival’ perfume pays homage to the ’70s, the decade that transformed patchouli into the legendary scent of the counterculture. At all the festivals, from Wight to Woodstock, patchouli’s woody and mysterious richness sang the backup vocals for the rock mindset of a new generation of rebellious youth. Today, it has made its comeback, more hippie chic than ever and the boho-glam idol par excellence. It is a classic in its own right, with all of its audacity intact. Retro-nostalgia has never been so modern.
Citrus fruits, patchouli,vanilla
ROUGE ASSASSIN
Floral, woody, musky
A colour can have an odour. This Rouge Assassin perfumes the powdery nuances of a carmine, voluptuously ardent lipstick. A woman’s lipstick, a woman in love who would use it to write a message on a mirror, a fervent declaration or fiery last words, final until tomorrow. Passion, jealousy, vengeance… Love is a hot-blooded killer who leaves behind a criminal trail. As he passes, both women and men succumb.
Rose, ambrette, iris
In the Middle East, a promise made between two people is accompanied by the strictest honor code.
Frédéric Malle celebrates this principle with a promise of his own, whose beating heart is made of two precious varieties of rose: rose essence from Bulgaria and rose absolute from Turkey are lifted by apple, pink pepper and clove, and bound to a sensuous base of patchouli, cypriol and labdanum; an accord as unbreakable, and invisible, as a vow.
Spicy floral notes of Bergamot are reminiscent of the decadence of the early 1920’s. The room smells of wood and amber as notes of Cashmeran accentuate the warmth of the room.
Notes of White Rose emit an air of vintage femininity while exotic notes of Jasmine intoxicate men on the dance floor. From the dessert table, subtle hints of tangy Red Berries drizzled over sweet creamy Meringue captivate the senses. This extravagant fragrance will leave everyone in its path mesmerized.

Refined, elegant and very feminine.
Notes of Fig offer a fruity impression while Hazelnut adds a delicate touch of sugar. Sweet and herbaceous notes of Immortelle entice him with a fascinatingly rich, sexy, desirable aroma. Heavy yet sweet and fruity floral notes of Ylang Ylang evoke an innocently erotic aura. Gentle, effortless notes of Sandalwood caress this assortment of sweetness, creating an undeniable allure.

Warm pleasure and interior elegance.
Love Tuberose, a new fragrance within The Secret Garden Collection. As the enigmatic love story continues to unfold within the collection, this new romantic and floral fragrance, eloquently evokes the heart’s pleasures and desire reminiscent of Russian literature and classical music.
“In Love Tuberose, I see a woman enraptured by romance with dreams that can only be found in classical Russian arts. A manifestation of passion, hope, and adventure, the fragrance embodies the excitement and mystery of her unfolding love story,” explains Amouage Creative Director, Christopher Chong.
An alluring scent, Love Tuberose blends the warmth of Gardenia, Tuberose, and Jasmine in harmony with a gourmand inflexion of tender notes of Vanilla and Chantilly Cream to create dramatic and heavenly sweetness. The woody and musky base of Cedarwood and Sandalwood adds depth to the affectionate and wistful bouquet of aromas that recreate memories with its rich aura of feminine notes.
The elegant ivory pastel bottle of Love Tuberose is a true reflection of its floral elements. The now-iconic Amouage silver cap is topped with a light rose Aurore Boreale Swarovski crystal, emulating the luxurious delicacy and sensual endearment that resonates throughout the fragrance.
