Frédéric Malle Une Fleur de Cassie Eau de Parfum is a masterpiece by Dominique Ropion that highlights the uncommon cassia flower, which is part of the mimosa family. It opens with powdery–honeyed highlights of cassia absolute, mimosa, jasmine, carnation, and a touch of cumin and aldehydes, evoking a vintage Parisian elegance .
As the scent evolves, gentle rose, violet, apricot, and salicylate bring depth and velvety richness to the heart . The dry-down settles into a comforting blend of sandalwood, musk, cedarwood, and vanilla, yielding an enduring, sensuous base .
Performance reports vary: longevity typically spans 6–10 hours with moderate sillage though some wearers note the scent becomes more skin-close after a few hours
