Story & heritage

Wikipedia and the official page both ground Le Parfum de Thérèse in the house’s origin story: Edmond Roudnitska created it in the early 1950s for his wife Thérèse, and it later entered the Frédéric Malle collection.

Materials & craft

The official details list melon and cucumber top notes, prune, rose and jasmine in the middle, and vetiver with patchouli in the base.

How to choose & style

A refined chypre for people who like a vintage line without costume: silk scarves, tailored trousers, ivory blouses, or a quiet evening dress.
