Cologne Indélébile

COLOGNE INDELEBILE

Cologne Indélébile is Dominique Ropion's sixth perfume for Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle. Dominique Ropion and Frédéric Malle began working together at legendary perfume lab Roure Bertrand in the late 80's. This new composition is another proof of their strong working relationship.

Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle's quest has always been to either reinvent classic perfume structures, or to create radically new perfume types in the hope of creating some of tomorrow's 'Classics'. True to this principle, D. Ropion set himself the goal of revisiting the most classic perfume structure of all: the Eau de Cologne.

It started with a conversation between the two acolytes: the idea this time was to make use of the ambivalent nature of white musks, that can generate an idea of cleanliness and purity as well as an idea of lust and to mix these musks with the main elements of the cologne accord, in order to come up with a seemingly innocent perfume, whilst acting as the most irresistible of all magnets.

Highly innovative technical solutions were invented by Mr. Ropion along the way, such as the use of the very precious Narcissus Absolute to enhance the freshness of Lemon and Bergamot, or the use of the very rare natural aldehyde called Polygonum to 'focus' and boost the perfume on top and counterbalance the weight of the enormous dose of musk.

The sum of these fine tunings and technical findings adds up to generate a completely revised version of this classical perfume theme, making Cologne Indélébile quite unique.
