Le Parfum de Therese is an unique perfume with a composition that was way ahead of its time, made by Edmond Roudnitska in 1950s (1957-1965). He made it for his wife, and up until Frederic Malle was founded, it was in Teresa’s personal use only. After many years Teresa decided to give the formula to Frederic Malle to include it to the collection and to insure immortality and glory for this beautiful Edmond Roudnitska’s creation. Fruity aquatic accords, discovered way earlier than fruity and aquatic fragrances became common, open the composition with tangerine and melon and lead to the heart of rose and plum. Cedar, vetiver and leather finish the composition. This unique fragrance is modern and beautifully antique at the same time.

This is listed as a unisex scent but it is not- only a woman's scent, for sure. This is very unique, not for the masses (like most of the perfumes Frederic Malle has put out). I love everything Roudnitska has created, so, unsurprisingly, I adore this.

Le Parfum de Therese is a mistery for me. I got a sample and liked it a lot at first but then on my skin it morphed to an intensely woodsy linen old drawer smell I didn't like at all. Very musty, too woodsy, not very sexy in my book, very classic. I think it's a matter of chemistry. For sure it's an extremely complex and refined scent, just not for me.

Given the below reviews I read, I expected to experience a heavy, potentially cloying perfume.

Surprisingly I liked it.

It opened on a unique combination of watery melon and pepper(?)- this water fruit accord 40 years ahead of its time considers the fragrance a masterpiece -, then it loses the strong peppery note and becomes sweeter (fruity sweetness, but I don't obviously identify it as plum) and smoky at the same time. At this phase I smelled a green rose.

It is an outstanding sexy scent suitable for my personality; ideally wears for spring or summer. Lasting power is excellent too.

My sample has arrived. This is very complex perfume, and I'm sure, not all the notes of this long kept secret have been disclosed to us.

To me this slightly sharp and salty "irritating" or unpleasant note, which is mentioned in 2 first reviews, reminds of coriander. I also smell very light menthol note, which gives this cold water feeling to the scent. I enjoy it - much more, than on the first try in the shop, when I couldn't concentrate on it.

Update (at the end of the day) - unfortunately, this perfume is not for me either! It was disturbing, instead of giving a comfort.

This is a perfume for Therese, and surtainly for many others, but not for me.

Like F_A wrote there is something not working with the plum and rose. I love rose fragrances, but I can´t wear plum fragarances so the outcome weren´t so surprising.

Still I consider this perfume a masterpiece, made years before the floralfruity perfumes become popular and I guess easier to make?

Very gentle and soft, but still noticable and longlasting. If you know you can pull off plum, you definitly must try this one.

The first time I smelled it, I could smell water. Yes, that's right - water! Still it is a strong fragrance, where watery and heavy notes have the perfect balance. It is incredible how Mr. Rudnitska managed to create a fragrance where water notes can be smelled even in the base.Very fresh and clean fruity water notes of this fragrance are enriched with woody, dusty, smokey notes. It is an interesting fragrance - light and heavy at the same time. I am sure it is dedicated to a strong, exceptional woman. I could not wear it because there's a smell in it, that irritates me. I am pretty sure it is the mixture of rose and plum notes.
