Frederic Malle Carnal Flower
Carnal Flower - eau de parfum
Carnal Flower by Frédéric Malle - "With tuberose, nature offers her own take on dramatic olfactive clashes. These pretty flowers exude a mixture of flower shop freshness and carnal opulence. This natural contradiction has fascinated generations of perfumers including Dominique Ropion. He started to compose his interpretation of the mysterious flower from the latest high-tech analysis of its evaporation. To remain as close to nature as possible, he decided to use a mix of the best natural extractions and high-tech ingredients. Finally, to generate a link between this flower's scent and the wearer's skin he exagerated some aspects already existing in the scent of natural tuberose, such as coconut and salycilates, and added a trace of musk. 18 months were necessary to find the perfect balance." -fredericmalle.com

Frederic Malle Carnal Flower Perfume
Millionaire Hair
Thick, luxurious, shiny hair isn't just for the 1 percent.
The Smell of Success
Fill in the blank: Expensive hair smells like ____. Stumped? "You want a fragrance that's light enough that only someone who's really close to you can smell it," says hairstylist Serge Normant. Adds hairstylist Oribe, "Glamorous-lookin hair shouldn't smell like strawberries." If your usual products remind you of the produce section, move on. Normant recently blended a scent that's specifically intended for hair (not skin). The ylang-ylang, jasmine, and amber in Serge Normant Avah Eau de Parfum create "a soft, musky scent," he says. "I love that fragrance in the hair because it's unexpected." Others we like: Frederic Malle Carnal Flower hair mist (a mix of tuberose and musk) and Oribe's line of bergamot-and-jasmine-scented hair-care products.
