Product Details Inspired by the very particular fragrance of his mother’s lipstick that he smelled when kissing her perfumer Ralf Schwieger created Lipstick Rose Eau De Parfum. A perfume that is both regressive and a modern take on Hollywood glamor Lipstick Rose smiles at you like a dash of lipstick with its rose and violet-flavoured candy scent. It embodies an alluring woman part Gilda part socialite. Grapefruit and violet enhance the fragrance’s rose note. The backdrop is musk and vanilla with a hint of vetiver and amber. A vision of glamorised femininity in Technicolor. Born in Germany Ralph Schwieger carries his childhood memories of the smell of forests moss and wood. A chemist by training he joined Roure Bertrand Dupont and his already strong technical ability allowed him to transcribe his ideas into his compositions. His desire to compose perfumes that are out of the ordinary give his work an unusual personality. Top notes: grapefruit violet Middle notes: rose iris raspberry Base notes: vanilla white musk How To Use Frédéric Malle believes people should spray perfume where they wish to do so. Some people wear them on their neck or under their wrist while others prefer to splash or spray fragrances on their chest. Layering across scents is not recommended as our perfumes are each an olfactive work of art crafted to stand alone and apart.
