Questions and Answers

Q: How does Frederic Malle Rose & Cuir Cologne smell?

A: This perfume is like drinking a glass of current wine on the terrace of a crumbling New Orleans mansion while rain soaks the earth around the overgrown floral garden. There is a memory of romance here, an old sorrow and a longing to have love again.
