Contre-Jour by Frédéric Malle is not just a perfume, but a presence, a wild and free soul, created by Annick Ménardo.
Contrary to conventional patterns, this fragrance reveals a dazzling yet elusive scent trail that invites you to never be fully defined. The perfume reflects the spirit of the Mediterranean wildflower immortelle, known for its extraordinary longevity, a sunny yellow blossom that contrasts with the dark, untamed depths of its fragrance.
Master perfumer Annick Ménardo drew on this inspiration to create a fragrance that defies traditional olfactory structures. The notes of immortelle unfold a spicy, almond-like character that dances with an intense rose absolute, combining its shadows and thorns. To immortalise this manifesto on the skin, sandalwood oil provides a rhythm that adds to the mystery of this creation. Fascinated by the attraction of contradictions, Annick Ménardo creates fragrances of a new era for those who appreciate their own mystery.
