He therefore commissions his fragrances from great noses \u003cstrong\u003ewithout budget or deadline constraints\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eputs their name on the bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e — an unprecedented gesture at the opening of the house \u003cstrong\u003ein 2000\u003c\/strong\u003e — and, above all, \u003cstrong\u003eleaves them their royalties\u003c\/strong\u003e: they are not service providers, they are authors. Malle is the \u003cstrong\u003ethird generation of a dynasty\u003c\/strong\u003e: his grandfather \u003cstrong\u003eSerge Heftler-Louiche\u003c\/strong\u003e founded \u003cstrong\u003eChristian Dior Parfums\u003c\/strong\u003e, his mother \u003cstrong\u003eled its creation for thirty years\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the filmmaker \u003cstrong\u003eLouis Malle\u003c\/strong\u003e was his uncle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA cinnamon spéculoos opening\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe perfume opens on a note of \u003cstrong\u003espéculoos\u003c\/strong\u003e, the spiced biscuit of Northern winters, which the house builds around \u003cstrong\u003ecinnamon\u003c\/strong\u003e. The entry is warm and gourmand without being sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA vanilla heart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e arrives early and immediately rounds off the spices. It does not seek the pastry effect: it softens, it envelops, and prepares the ground for the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA creamy sandalwood base\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSandalwood\u003c\/strong\u003e is the central material of the composition. Bruno Jovanovic says he \u003cstrong\u003eamplified its naturally creamy facets\u003c\/strong\u003e until they became unctuous and velvety: it is a \u003cstrong\u003emilky\u003c\/strong\u003e, round, smooth sandalwood, which establishes an intimate and comforting trail close to the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe house's signature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree published notes, not one more\u003c\/strong\u003e: a spéculoos, a vanilla, a sandalwood. All the work is on the \u003cstrong\u003etexture of the sandalwood\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the list of ingredients confirms it: we read \u003cstrong\u003esandalwood oil (Santalum album)\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esantalol\u003c\/strong\u003e, its main molecule, alongside a \u003cstrong\u003ecinnamon bark oil\u003c\/strong\u003e. The house summarizes the intention with a contrast: \u003cstrong\u003ea warm embrace facing a cold and nostalgic sensation\u003c\/strong\u003e, like a Northern winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom, for what occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmber, woody, and spicy, this eau de parfum is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003esandalwood lovers\u003c\/strong\u003e and enveloping perfumes. The perfumer himself associates it with \u003cstrong\u003eautumn\u003c\/strong\u003e, at the end of the day when the light fades; it is also worn all winter, at the office as in the evening.
