THE RUSH: Bigarade Concentrée by Frédéric Malle
Orange zest, a bitter edge and a clear, vibrant character define Bigarade Concentrée Eau de Toilette. Created by Jean-Claude Ellena, this aromatic citrus fragrance focuses on a bitter orange essence obtained through molecular distillation.
Bitter orange with cardamom, pink pepper and cedar
Frédéric Malle describes an unusually pure orange essence, with the cool clarity and slight bitterness of the fruit’s zest. Cardamom and pink peppercorn bring spice to that fresh citrus character, while cedarwood gives the composition its woody foundation. The result follows Ellena’s pared-back approach: a small group of distinct materials built around bitter orange.
If you are drawn to citrus fragrances with spice and a woody base, this sample offers a way to try Ellena’s interpretation on your own skin. This is Bigarade Concentrée, distinct from the house’s Cologne Bigarade.
