Lipstick Rose, by Ralf Schwieger for Frédéric Malle, takes one small scene as its subject: a star looking in the dressing-room mirror and putting on her lipstick. It is a powdery, fruity floral Eau de Parfum listed for women. Powdery perfumes divide people sharply, so a decant makes a sound first step.

How it unfolds
-
Grapefruit meets violet
The top sets juicy, slightly bitter grapefruit against soft, powdery violet. Raspberry, which the brand says plays against the grapefruit, starts to show early. This is the first sign of make-up, and it is the stage where powder-lovers and powder-skeptics part ways.
-
The flowers of make-up
Rose, iris and raspberry hold the heart. Iris and violet are what the brand calls the flowers of make-up, and the raspberry keeps them bright. The rose rounds the centre, so you get a bouquet and a lip colour in the same breath.
-
Vanilla and white musk
Vanilla and white musk carry the sweetness the brand mentions. The vanilla is soft and the musk clean, so the ending stays close to the skin. It is warm, powdery-sweet and quiet, like the moment after the lipstick has been applied.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Apply the decant before an evening out and check it again the next morning on the same skin. Because the perfume is built around powder, test it in spring or summer conditions as listed and watch whether the powdery effect feels elegant or old-fashioned on you.
Who it is for
The brand lists it among its women's perfumes. It suits people who like florals soft, fruity and slightly dressed up, and who enjoy violet and iris in a powdery mood. Dinners, dates and days when you want to feel put together are the right occasions.
Why try Frédéric Malle Lipstick Rose as a sample first
The scent is easy to picture, yet powder is the note that changes most from skin to skin. Frédéric Malle prints the perfumer's name on each bottle, and Ralf Schwieger's is on this one. A 10 ml decant, filled from the original bottle and labelled by us, shows if his make-up scene suits you.

Frequently asked
Does Lipstick Rose smell of lipstick?
It is a scene rather than a literal copy. Violet and iris give the powdery, make-up side, raspberry and grapefruit the juice, and vanilla with white musk the finish.
Is it a sweet scent?
Sweetness comes from the raspberry, vanilla and white musk, softened by powdery violet and iris. The sample shows how sweet that feels to you.
Is the decant made by Frédéric Malle?
No, it is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems fills the 10 ml glass spray vial from the original bottle and labels it itself. Frédéric Malle is not involved.
The brand
About Frederic Malle
Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle opened in Paris in 2000 with nine perfumes and one idea: the perfumer is the author, so the name goes on the bottle like on a book. Dominique Ropion, Maurice Roucel, Olivia Giacobetti and Jean-Claude Ellena work here with complete freedom, time and materials. The results are generous, often extreme in one direction, a rose pushed to its limit, a tuberose in very high dose, which is exactly why a 10 ml decant beats a quick sniff in a boutique.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
