The French perfume house Frederic M introduced the women's fragrance Comme Une Reine in 2010, created by the talented perfumer Frédéric Munoz.
In the world of fragrance, this name is associated with refinement and sophistication, while the brand itself has long won the affection of niche perfume connoisseurs.
Comme Une Reine translates from French as “Like a Queen” — and the name perfectly reflects the character of the composition: delicate and noble, yet restrained and elegant.
The fragrance belongs to the floral and woody families and is released as an eau de parfum. It is a feminine yet never overly sweet perfume that wears softly and intimately.
The fragrance has almost no noticeable sillage — it stays close to the skin, creating a personal, almost secret allure. An ideal choice for those who appreciate subtle, elusive nuances.
Frédéric Munoz, whose name is behind many iconic compositions, brought his own vision of femininity to Comme Une Reine.
His style is a harmonious blend of natural notes and modern accents.
Founded in 1983, Frederic M is renowned for its approach to fragrance creation: each release is a small work of art in which every detail matters.
Comme Une Reine was created for confident women who do not need to make bold statements.
It is well suited to romantic evenings, cozy everyday moments, and times when you want to surround yourself with warmth.
Despite being positioned as a women's fragrance, it is versatile and may appeal to lovers of soft woody-floral compositions.
If you enjoy Gucci Gucci Bamboo, Guerlain Terracotta Le Parfum, or Giorgio Armani Sun di Gioia, this perfume is definitely worth trying.
Thanks to its intimate character, this fragrance is ideal for application on the wrists and neck. It does not overwhelm the space, making it suitable for the office or meetings where discretion is important.
To prolong its presence, you can apply the perfume to moisturized skin or clothing — but keep in mind that its sillage remains barely perceptible, which is part of its distinctive charm.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent exists only for you—no one around you will notice it
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
Comme Une Reine opens with a bright yet soft duet: citrusy bergamot and subtly sweet ylang-ylang set a delicate, slightly playful mood.
At the heart of the fragrance, a bouquet unfolds: noble rose, warm sandalwood, and sweet vanilla create a cozy, enveloping accord.
The base is soft: amber adds a subtle depth and a balsamic nuance, making the trail warm and refined.
