Carnicure

Here, the orange blossom is neither clean nor wedding-white. MARLOU Carnicure places it on powdery fur, polished wood, and the warm skin of an animal that is unseen but clearly still in the room.

Orange blossom and violet open the composition florally, softly, and slightly powdery. Beneath their neat surface, something warmer and more carnal very quickly emerges.

Sandalwood gives the impression of waxed wood, while patchouli introduces a darker earthy shade. Labdanum between them creates an amber heart, dense and resinous without overt gourmand sweetness.

Tristan Rostain constructs the perfume as a brief glimpse into a bygone era: a room with wooden furniture, powder on the skin, and a feline presence that strips all innocence from the flowers.

Musk and civet gradually take over the scent. The orange blossom remains present, but now it seems pressed into fur and warm skin, while the violet only occasionally brings back a cooler powdery tone.

Carnicure is not a white floral perfume for a feeling of freshness. It is orange blossom over civet, waxed wood, and powder — flower and flesh in the same dimly lit room.
