Scent as part of identity: finding your perfume signature

Malmaison is more than just an eau de toilette—it is an olfactory ode to the renowned carnation variety that once captured the hearts of the English aristocracy.
Launched in 2000, this women's fragrance by the legendary London brand Floris instantly became a classic of the floral family.
The fragrance's story is inseparably linked to the Malmaison carnation—a variety cultivated with great passion in Victorian England.
It is said that Oscar Wilde himself was an ardent admirer of this flower, and Malmaison transports us back to a time when carnations were worn as decorations on jacket lapels.
Floris, whose history began on Jermyn Street in 1730, captures the spirit of old London and refined taste in this bottle.
The fragrance has a noticeable sillage, making it an ideal choice for evening outings or special occasions.
Despite its vivid character, Malmaison wears elegantly and discreetly, like a true lady. This fragrance is a genuine gift for lovers of classic floral compositions with a spicy accent.
If you are looking for similar fragrances, consider Jeanne Arthes Cassandra Blanc, Yves Rocher Rose Absolue, or Rochas Femme Rochas—they also explore a noble floral theme with spicy nuances.
Malmaison by Floris is more than just a perfume—it is a window into history that you can carry with you. Try it, and you will feel the breath of Victorian gardens.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
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 light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
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 olfactory pyramid of Malmaison is a true journey. The top notes greet us with spicy Cinnamon, pungent Clove, and invigorating Lemon—an opening that immediately sets the tone.
At the heart of the composition unfolds the famous Malmaison carnation: the Carnation is soft and velvety here, framed by Rose and exotic Ylang-Ylang.
The base is warm and comforting: Patchouli, Vanilla, Virginia Cedar, and Musk create a long-lasting, elegant trail that lingers on the skin.
Each note has been selected to emphasize the sophistication and history embodied in this fragrance.
