Le Parfum de Thérèse

Eau de parfum

Le Parfum de Thérèse is a secret gem of perfumery, created in the 1950s by Edmond Roudnitska exclusively for his wife Thérèse. It remained anonymous for decades until Frédéric Malle included it in his collection, respecting its legacy as a masterpiece ahead of its time. The fragrance is built around an aquatic-fruity accord that was absolutely visionary in its era. It opens with a delightful note of plum, mandarin, and a subtle veil of melon, before revealing a sophisticated floral heart with jasmine, rose, and violet. The base is a symphony of leather, vetiver, and musk, with an elegant and timeless chypre character. Le Parfum de Thérèse is feminine, sensual, and deeply intimate. It speaks of love, fidelity, and sophistication without boasting. Its discreet, almost spiritual aura makes it a unique olfactory signature, as unforgettable as the story behind it.
