About the Brand

Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle was founded by Frédéric Malle in 2000. The brand's concept presents perfumers as authors and features their names directly on the bottles.

• Perfumers are given creative freedom and the brand declares the use of high-quality ingredients.
• The minimalist flacons are designed to highlight the fragrance itself and its creator.
• The graphic design of the packaging draws inspiration from the visual codes of the French publishing house Gallimard.

With Rose & Cuir, Jean-Claude Ellena is therefore a visible part of the fragrance's identity.
