Career and creations
Frédéric Malle presents Édouard Fléchier as one of the most creative perfumers of his generation, blessed with an innate talent for olfactory balance. His hypersensitive nose made him a prodigy at Roure, where he was a student, and has fed his inventiveness ever since. Even as a leading figure of the profession, he remained humble and self-disciplined, never once missing his morning ritual of smelling raw materials to refresh his grasp of the fundamentals.
Rose Tonnerre grew out of a personal project. Édouard Fléchier had developed a new base, a kind of olfactory sketch that reproduced the scent of a Périgord truffle. This blend of dark, woody and animalic notes was intended for men's fragrances; with Frédéric Malle, they came up with the seemingly paradoxical idea of pairing it with the quintessential feminine note, rose. The house describes a rose giving off its finest scent at night, in a misty garden under a stormy sky, turned dark and sensual. Vetiver, patchouli and castoreum form its base.
