Max Mara Le Parfum ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 14 November 2007 14 Comments

MaxMara Le ParfumMax Mara will launch Max Mara Le Parfum, a new fragrance for women, next February. As seems to be the recent trend, Le Parfum promises to feminize a masculine fragrance ingredient, in this case, nutmeg.

Created by Firmenich nose Vincent Schaller, 60% of MaxMara Le Parfum is composed of five different musks, including one in its top notes, which is rare. The key nutmeg ingredient is also joined by mirabelle plum and floral notes…
