Is the sun shining today?
Well, I think most people would agree that FM fragrances are pretty special and always a little out of the ordinary. Before the ultra niche fans feel offended: I'm talking about the masses. And that's what I thought here too; perhaps a fragrance that can be placed alongside the kings like The Night or The Moon? On the contrary, it's the little tender sister.

I really couldn't imagine anything about the fragrance and had no idea what kind of release it would be.

First sniff: Hmmm well, ok. At first sniff you get this soft floral base with a strong topping of rose, sounds interesting but smells a bit like a toilet cleaner at first. Sorry. But I'm not a rose fan either.

But it's good that it doesn't stay that way, I tested the fragrance for a long time and was actually surprised by the development, because the rose disappears pretty quickly and what remains is a soft floral base, with time a peach note prevails more and more. So it's quite floral with a slight fruity summery touch on a peach. The rose is now pretty much in the background and is present, but only as a minor player.

After a few hours my conclusion: Really nice, basically I see the fragrance more in women, which is probably due to the floral / rose mix, but I wouldn't be averse to wearing the fragrance myself. Anyone who likes fresh laundry or rose will like it. The fragrance is very light in the air but still has the necessary charisma to be noticed, I can't imagine anyone finding this fragrance "terrible". Sure, it doesn't reinvent the wheel, but for the summer, a top thing!
Conclusion: For me a light floral fresh laundry fragrance with a hint of peach and a little touch of rose in the background. Goes with me every day and in every season. You can do it.

High-quality clean fragrance
When I smelled it for the first time two days ago, I was expecting absolutely nothing. No expectations other than knowing the other FM fragrances. My first thought was instant: this smells like mega cool detergent!

I guess the aldehydes with the musk make this impression. The longevity is insanely good and the development on the skin is mega nice.

Tigerlily by Suzy Le Helley
Writing stream-of-consciousness:

Opening blast highly reminiscent of the aldehydes employed in Minneapolis 5.3 by Spyros Drosopoulous. This, however, quickly calms down and transitions into a metallic, almost grape / blackberry like accord, further smoothed out by an underlying violet. People are referencing the salmon pink at the bottom of the bottle; however, I see almost more fuchsia as opposed to magenta. This is a bit more transparent than 5.3, but this does indisputably reference detergent/fabric softener. This is metallic, tongue tickling aldehydes that verge on the tuning-fork-to-the-skull effect, but really calm themselves down to a background presence within a reasonable amount of time - the persistence of the effervescence seems quite astonishing and is quite enjoyable (the same sort of happy feeling I get with Cristalle Eau Verte) - personal preference may vary.

The overall fragrance now 20 or so minutes in wears relatively moist, as opposed to say the chalky dry down of No 5 L’eau. Unlike L’eau though, this is not aggravating my sinuses regardless of me placing my nose close to the skin or retaining distance from my arm. The detergent association is inescapable, but this is not dusty - quite fresh, uplifting, and less (imo) crass compared to the more recent MFKs.

This smells “icy” without being “cold”. Hence I believe the references to No. 22. Perhaps a bit of bubblegum too - that pink rose bubblegum feeling that FilipMurray references below reminding us of CDG Concrete - nothing too juvenile. My wife commented on a slight smokiness in the background, in our opinion attributed to the frankincense - that sort of cool, smoky, grey feeling to it. There is no watermelon in this, but I do get that sort of proto-aquatic fruity/salty freshness in the dry down akin to Aramis’ New West for Him (vintage, not that abomination Gentleman’s Collection version).

The fragrance is perhaps traveling down a linear path, but there are a few swerves here and there - the fragrance feels fluid instead of static. It retains interest - I keep wanting to discern the scent subtleties. The deep dry-down brining incensed sandalwood rubbed over with a vanilla balm - not sweet, not different, just a continual smoothing of the opening.

This reminds me more of the quality/pace of the brand with Eau De Magnolia, say as opposed to earlier produced Iris Poudre - make of that what you will.

This makes me happy.

Owning Lys Mediteranee (my wedding fragrance and first Malle), Bois d’Orage, Geranium Pour Monsieur, Vetiver Extraordinaire, Cologne Indelibe, and Eau De Magnolia, I can genuinely see myself reaching for my wallet for this far sooner than for either Rose & Cuir or Heaven Can Wait.

I think a lot of the contempt for this fragrance is due to Malle retiring and this being a collaboration that “appears” more low-browed compared to Dries Van Noten and Alber Elbaz - I believe wholeheartedly if this had a black label marked with Suzy Le Helley’s name and was given a conventional title (let’s randomly steal “Tigerlily” from Natalie Merchant’s debut solo album) this would be less attacked and more appreciated for what it is.

In fact, it’s a crime that Suzy doesn’t get her name plastered on this - just as Bruno for Dries and Dominique for Superstitious . For her first all-on-her own fragrance? Bravo!

Perfect
This perfume is very emotional for me.

It's beautiful, clean, and fresh, yet somehow slightly dirty from floral notes. It's airy, long-lasting, and has excellent projection.

Aldehydes, musk, peach, orange blossom, sandalwood, and a hint of frankincense. Like the most beautiful and potent fabric softener. Sounds simple - but it's not.

It partly reminds me of Superstitious because of the aldehydes, but they are still completely different. Acne Studios is not sour, it's much easier to wear... The drydown reminds me of CDG - Concrete, probably because of the sandalwood...

Perfection!

After the sad news that Frederic is leaving the brand - I can say that he left EDPFM with style. I already see this one in my top 10.

it´s quite nice
It might well be that this is the last time when the Editeur de Parfums is contributing to the launch of a scent, for the brand.

Frederic Malle will leave the brand soon so I do wonder, how can you continue a brand with his name, without him as editeur?

- I am very surprised by how nice and easy to wear is this scent. It leans very feminine on my skin so I would say that if you are a curious man about this scent, do try a sample first and then buy. This is very long lasting, it will be with you for a full day, a nice feature for the non-oriental Frederic Malle scents.

Reminds me of? A bit of Sintra from Memo, but it quite unique.
Longevity / Silage: On my skin it lasts over 8 hours.
Versatility: All the time in the summer, it is a very easy to like scent and will work well with the hot skin I believe.
Seasons: It will shine in the warmer months.
Score: 8.5 / 10 – I like the creation, but it´s just not a perfume I would wear. It´s blended well and the perfumer is very creative.

Thank you for watching.

Sorry it's very bad on my skin - like synthetic candy bubble gum.
I'd never spend so much money for that.
The name is ridiculous in French.

Dominated by violet candy. Too lacking creativity to be a FM.

Nice clean fresh odeur, imagine taking white cotton towels from the laundry, the violet adds some depth. Overall fresh cotton/laundry scent

New Look is a jagged aldehyde whilst this is silky and smooth. Introverted. Musks are clean with a watery edge. Congratulations to Helley!
