A New Masterpiece Fragrance 'Contre Moi' is Born from Frederic Malle, Transcending Definition

Frederic Malle, as a 'fragrance publisher,' brings to the world the art of perfumery, born from the complete creative freedom of the world's finest perfumers. Its latest eau de parfum, 'Contre Moi,' will be released on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.

This new creation, envisioned by the visionary master perfumer, Anne Flipo, is a bold scent that overturns preconceived notions. It is a fragrance that embraces the wearer's individuality while harboring a vivid contrast of three scents.

【An Ode to Undefined Freedom】

Meaning 'backlight' in French, this fragrance embodies Frederic Malle's essence of 'Audacious Art (L'Art de l'Audace)' by possessing both light and shadow, delicacy and strength, and opposite poles. Unbound by convention, it symbolizes individuality and creative rebellion. More than just a fragrance, it is an 'existence' itself, a fierce and free soul. It is a scent that celebrates people who reject labels, love nuances, and flourish in the interplay of light and shadow. It was born for a new generation of connoisseurs attracted to fragrances that pursue rich expressiveness, supreme craftsmanship, and a commitment to raw materials.

'Contre Moi' is a unique and elegant fragrance that embodies audacious artistry. It is a masculine perfume for women, and vice versa.

Master Perfumer Anne Flipo

【Three Contrasting Scents that Embrace the Wearer's Individuality and Create a Modern, Bold Trail】

Incandescent Immortelle

An uncompromising blend of Immortelle Absolute, the 'immortal flower' blooming in the Mediterranean. With spicy accents, it transcends the traditional herbal impression, emanating a modern, warm, amber-like glow.

Wild and Rebellious Punk Rose

A sharply refined, dark and provocative Damask Rose Absolute by Anne Flipo. Bringing tension, depth, and chiaroscuro, this mysterious flower, even when illuminated, is full of sharp thorns and irresistible charm.

Melodious Sandalwood

Creamy and addictive sandalwood supports the overall harmony, lending rhythm and movement. It merges the contrasting scents, leaving a captivating lingering trace on the skin.

【Perfumer Anne Flipo】

Anne Flipo, one of the most original perfumers in contemporary perfumery, is known for her intuitive, architectural, and compositional approach to perfumery. Her method of constructing fragrances by layering accords, which she has honed throughout her career, brings overwhelming depth, structure, and emotional resonance to her works. Her collaboration with Frederic Malle is the result of the encounter between two creative powers who believe that fragrance is an uncompromising art form.
