Product Details Frederic Malles French Lover Eau De Parfum has the quintessential qualities of a men's classic. It is a sort of skin enhancer as the smell of patchouli incense tree moss and cedar mingle with one's natural odour. Created by perfumer Pierre Bourdon this suave base also serves as the cornerstone of a massive dose of angelica galbanum and pimento. Bois d'Orage (which translates in English into thunder wood) is a dramatic almost Wagnerian composition that expresses the contained sophistication of the effortlessly elegant man. Pierre Bourdon earned a degree in political science before changing directions and enrolling in the Roure Bertrand Dupont school in Grasse. He then became the only protégé of celebrated perfumer Edmond Roudnitska. Today Bourdon is considered one of the most innovative perfumers of his generation.
