Frederic Malle Uncut Gem Sample

Our Uncut Gem review: We really like Uncut Gem! It smells way different than we thought it would. The official marketing copy kept going out of the way to emphasize how this scent is the ultimate olfactory depiction of "rugged manliness." We were picturing something really over the top, and intensely hypermasculine. It does leans masculine, but not in an intense sharp way. It opens with a burst of fresh citrus and fresh bitter green angelica, wrapped in a light cloud of warm spice. As the citrus fades, the vetiver and leather amp up more, on a light bed of frankincense, but in a relatively clean way with the musk. Surprisingly versatile and could likely be worn during any season, and both casual and formal occasions. Part of our Best Versatile Fragrances Collection.
