An Exclusive Preview of the New Fragrance Coming in September
A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to preview Hope , the new fragrance from Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle, coming out in September. This news comes just a few months after the announcement of Monsieur's permanent departure from the company, a move that surprised many of his loyal customers and fans.
The Transition of the Editions de Parfums
Monsieur's departure from the company wasn't a complete surprise to those closely following Frederic Malle's evolution. Despite his departure nearly nine years ago, Malle's influence had become increasingly limited within his own creation. As artistic director, Malle had to confront an evolving market, very different from the one he first entered in the early 2000s. In this context, it seems that returning Editions de Parfums to their roots, with a focus on the perfume rather than the creator, is the right move.
The Hope: A New Jewel from the Desert Gems Collection
The new fragrance, The Hope, fits perfectly into the Desert Gems collection. With an Arabian style, the scent stands out for its power and a warm base reminiscent of sandalwood. While there are no official details on the olfactory pyramid yet, we can anticipate that The Hope has a top note similar to Promise, but less pungent and more delicate. The heart and base notes are characterized by a warm elegance, typical of sandalwood.
Price and Availability
The Hope will be priced in line with that of The Moon, another celebrated member of the Desert Gems line. This positioning reflects not only the quality of the ingredients used, but also the attention to detail that distinguishes Editions de Parfums fragrances.
The Involvement of Frederic Malle
It's not yet clear whether Monsieur Malle played a direct role in the creation of The Hope. However, considering the timing of its release, we can assume he at least had some influence. Regardless, we're confident The Hope will be another major success for Editions de Parfums.
Conclusion
The Hope represents an evolution in the world of luxury fragrances, maintaining the high quality and elegance expected from Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle. We're excited to see how this new creation will be received by the public and perfume connoisseurs. Stay tuned for further updates and to discover a sneak peek at the olfactory sensations of The Hope.
