Frederic Malle - Uncut Gem
By Maurice Roucel
Uncompromising, bold, filled with enigmatic charm. Based on master perfumer Maurice Roucel?s personal cologne, Uncut Gem is an unapologetically manly scent, diamond-hard and absolutely fresh.
The Scent:
Clear, spicy top notes of ginger, bergamot, mandarin, angelica root and nutmeg lead you to the sensual fire within: a leathery accord, vetiver, frankincense, generous amounts of amber, and a musk that vibrates with the skin. This is a scent that plays with the tired codes of masculinity while extracting their telluric force to create something beautiful and irresistible.
The Perfumer:
Maurice Roucel started his career as a chemist at Chanel?s Fragrance Laboratory in 1973. A self-taught perfumer who describes himself as ?an explorer wandering amidst formulas?, his style is that of a sensuous aesthete and his signature is generous composition, in which he retains only what is essential.
