Edouard Fléchier's masterful fragrance, Rose Tonnerre features a paradoxical interaction of rose and truffle. In the middle of a misty garden, at night, a rose gives its most beautiful scent. The air is stormy, stimulating the darkest scents of nature... Rose Tonnerre is the result of a personal project by Edouard Fléchier. A new base, a sort of olfactory sketch, which he presented to Frédéric Malle, and which reproduced the fragrance of a Périgord truffle. This blend of dark, woody and animalic notes was intended for men's fragrances, but the two partners came up with the seemingly paradoxical idea of marrying it with the quintessential feminine note: rose. In the hands of the master perfumer, the queen of flowers becomes dark and sensual. Bewitching. Rose, wine lees, truffle blend, honey, patchouli.
Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle operates like a publishing house for perfume, commissioning the world's greatest noses to create extraordinary fragrances with no creative restrictions and unlimited budgets, then crediting them as authors on the bottle. The result, since its launch in 2000, has been a body of work that includes some of modern perfumery's most celebrated creations: Portrait of a Lady, Carnal Flower, Musc Ravageur. Avant-garde, uncompromising and genuinely unlike anything else.
