The house of Dries Van Noten gifted the world with Fleur du Mal in 2022. A unisex fragrance belonging to the leather and floral families. Perfumers Dries Van Noten and Quentin Bisch joined forces to create something truly special. The fragrance belongs to the musk, fruit, and floral groups. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
It carries a noticeable sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. A single bottle goes a long way: longevity is very high. Produced in Belgium, and you can feel it in every note. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Fleur du Mal is built as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Dries Van Noten is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Floral, Fruit, Musk and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Leather and Wood.
When the structure is mixed the opening appears as one connected movement with a romantic floral mood: Jasmine, Osmanthus, Peach, Suede, Vetiver and musk.
The deeper layers are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Floral, Fruit, Musc and Wood without random overlap. Background accords such as Leather enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. In wear duration Very high indicates a stable lasting impression.
Taken together Fleur du Mal holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint.
