Frederic Malle Le Parfum de Therese Eau De Parfum

Frederic Malle Le Parfum de Thérèse – A Love Letter in Perfume

There are perfumes that are created to impress, and then there are those created out of pure love. Le Parfum de Thérèse is one of the rare few born from deep affection—composed in secret by legendary perfumer Edmond Roudnitska in the 1950s exclusively for his wife, Thérèse. It wasn’t shared with the world until decades later, when Frederic Malle invited the masterpiece into his Editions de Parfums collection. This fragrance is a time capsule, a historical gem, and above all, a radiant expression of romantic devotion.

Now available at Scents Angel, Le Parfum de Thérèse isn’t just another niche scent—it’s a work of perfumery art, wrapped in mystery, elegance, and emotional depth.

Heart Notes:

• Rose

Base Notes:

The opening is fresh and unexpected, with a splash of mandarin and melon—evoking a sense of summer warmth and feminine vitality. The plum note gives it an almost wine-like richness, foreshadowing the complexity to come. As the perfume evolves, you are greeted by a radiant bouquet of rose and jasmine, joined by the spicy green note of carnation, which lends a vintage elegance that feels like a well-kept secret.

The dry-down is where the emotion lingers—leather, vetiver, and cedarwood blend to form a sultry, grounded base that’s neither masculine nor feminine, but timelessly elegant. This contrast between the fruity top and leathery base is what makes Le Parfum de Thérèse truly unforgettable—it’s sensual, structured, and deeply emotive.

💞 Who Is It For?

Le Parfum de Thérèse is not for everyone—and that’s the point. It’s for the romantics, the art lovers, and the connoisseurs of vintage elegance. It’s unisex, but leans toward those who appreciate classic floral arrangements with a leather soul. It’s refined and unique, suitable for a confident wearer who isn’t following trends but living authentically.

Perfect for:

• Elegant evening events or formal gatherings

• Romantic dates and significant life moments

• Year-round wear, especially spring and fall

• Lovers of old-world florals and refined leather accords

• Those seeking a signature scent that tells a story

⏳ Longevity, Sillage & Performance

• Longevity: 8–10 hours

• Sillage: Moderate

• Projection: Soft but steady

Le Parfum de Thérèse doesn’t scream—it sings softly, evolving slowly and lingering long into the day or night. The citrus-fruit top notes are fleeting, but the heart and base unfold like chapters in a novel, revealing deeper tones as hours pass. The leather and vetiver base ensures excellent staying power, making this a scent that lasts beautifully on skin and clothing.

It has an intimate yet confident aura, leaving a graceful trail without overwhelming the senses. For those around you, it’s a whisper of sophistication rather than a shout.

🎁 Packaging & Presentation

In true Frederic Malle fashion, Le Parfum de Thérèse comes in a clean, cylindrical bottle that reflects the timeless elegance of the fragrance itself. The minimalist design allows the scent to take center stage, presented in crystal-clear glass with the label printed in classic black and red. It comes housed in a signature red Frederic Malle box—simple, bold, and unmistakably luxurious.

Everything about the packaging says: "What’s inside is special." And it is.

💭 Final Thoughts – A Perfume Like No Other

Wearing Le Parfum de Thérèse is like stepping into a love story that transcends time. There’s nothing else like it in the modern perfume landscape. It’s a relic from a past era of perfumery brought back to life with tenderness and respect.

It’s elegant, mysterious, and profoundly human—a reminder that scent, at its best, isn’t about fashion or flair—it’s about feeling. With its balanced structure of citrus, florals, and leather, Le Parfum de Thérèse remains one of the greatest olfactory tributes ever made. It’s not just perfume—it’s emotion, bottled.

Whether you’re a collector, a romantic, or someone who simply values beautifully composed fragrances, this is a scent you owe yourself to experience.
