# Carnal Flower by Dominique Ropion

*Carnal Flower* by Dominique Ropion is part of Frederic Malle’s (http://www.editionsdeparfums.com/mallesite_gb/index.htm). Dominique spent 2 years perfecting the formula for this perfume, which reportedly has the highest concentration of tuberose on the market.

So what? The “what” is that tuberose is a really heavy, dark, sexy floral essence. Tuberose flowers are white and light looking but they pack a powerful punch. Dominique’s perfume is not light but it’s not heavy either.

The first notes on my skin were citrus and green but as the hour wore on, the scent evolved to be a dull heady floral (and I mean that in a nice way). Most floral perfumes become really powdery on me but this one smelled a bit smoky and camphorous. It’s a bit like smelling the wrapper of a stick of Juicy Fruit next to a bouquet of tuberose.
