Frederic Malle is a perfume brand that uses raw materials or ingredients to build their perfume formulas. The brand provides a complete list of ingredients for every product on the outer packaging. The duration of each raw material included in the composition, and the proportions in which they are used, are just as important. In other words, a perfume composed with few but powerful raw materials, and that has a low concentration, might last longer than a more concentrated perfume composed with weak raw materials. All of their perfumes contain synthetic raw materials, which are essential for perfumers to accomplish the level of artistry that they seek.
There is a safety data sheet available for a product called aroma MUSC RAVAGEUR by Frederic Malle, which lists the incompatible materials to avoid contact with, but it does not provide any information about the ingredients or materials used in the product.
There are two Fragrantica articles that provide some information about the materials used in two different Frederic Malle perfumes. The first article discusses Monsieur, which was created by Bruno Jovanovic and Frederic Malle. The article quotes Malle in detail about the creation of the scent, how he worked with Jovanovic for five years on it, the materials used, how some of them are synthetic, and the mechanics of it all. The second article discusses Musc Ravageur, which is described as a sexy, turbulent perfume. According to the article, the notes in Musc Ravageur are bergamot, tangerine, cinnamon, vanilla, musk, and amber.
