Founded in Paris in 2000 by Frédéric Malle, Editions de Parfums broke with traditional marketing practices by placing perfumers at the forefront. After opening its first boutique on Rue de Grenelle, the house expanded internationally before joining the Estée Lauder Group in January 2015. Frédéric Malle ultimately left the brand at the end of June 2024.
Its signature lies in auteur perfumery: each creation bears the name of its perfumer, whom Frédéric Malle gave artistic freedom, time, high-quality raw materials and freedom from marketing constraints. Minimalist bottles, typographic labels and boutiques designed like galleries extend this editorial approach.
Right now at Fragsplit, 4 Frederic Malle fragrances are available as 1 to 10 ml decants: The Moon, Musc Ravageur, The Night, Heaven Can Wait.
