Carnal Flower Hair Mist

I am addicted to CF. I had the whole range other than this hair mist, which arrived in the post today. It is supposed to be lighter than the Eau de Parfum. I disagree, I find this at least as potent, if not actually more! It is insanely strong and works very well in the hair. All my other CF purchases have been direct from FM however I managed to pick up this hair mist on Ebay for a 3rd of the price on a bid auction. I was worried it could be a fake but it is the real deal (no fake could be this strong or true to the original). If you keep looking you can get some Frederic Malle bargains on Ebay, although there are also many rip offs. Carnal Flower is insanely pricey but I am totally smitten with it. In response to the comment asking how it differs from the perfume, I suspect it will have a lower alcohol as alcohol can dry out the hair and it has oil in I believe. It is also meant to be a lighter scent but as above, I dont find it to be soo.

Carnal Flower is always my top 3 perfume. I love it so much that I purchased the shower gel, hair mist and after-sun balm too. Unlike many lazy perfumes created after 2000, which are overdosed with ambroxan, musk and iso e kinds of base aroma-chemicals, Carnal Flower is carefully crafted, to be a modern exquisite tuberose flower creation. Different aspects shine with perfect balance. Never too green, too milky, too coconuty.... Great projection and silage. Although it is a big white floral perfume, the board brushstroke with strength style made it suitable for men to wear.

I agree with "hair mist my a**". It's as powerful as my decant of the EDP. A couple of sprays on the skin lasts all day, projecting and blooms when I sweat and get active.

A natural, fresh tuberose garland. Even though this hair mist is true to the original edp's heart, it skips the initial minty green eucalyptus stage and heads straight to the dry down. I personally enjoy the green eucalyptus in the edp, but for anyone who doesn't, this is a good alternative. All in all, the same intoxicating yet ethereal carnal flower we know and love. This hair mist is a cloudy liquid in the flacon, and there's oils that settle at the bottom. I usually give it a gentle shake before I spray this on hair, on clothes, on skin, on bedding, everywhere. Given its slightly more palatable price, I allow myself to use it more liberally. My skin drinks this up, but the scent holds very nicely on hair and fabric throughout the day. If you are looking for exceptional longevity, go for the actual fragrance.

$155 bottle of coconut floral hair spray! I've never worn the EDP but have smelled it 'on' someone else - a friend of mine - a male - who likes tuberose scents but it seemed too 'carnal' for my taste. It was woody with eucalyptus and didn't feel like a woman's perfume to me. It was and is totally unisex. This edition is expensive for just a hair mist but it is so much nicer than the EDP. This doesn't sell as much as the EDP but can be found online. The scent is fresher and softer, with a linear progression of fruit-florals-musk-wood. Opens with a sweet milky coconut. I love coconut hair shampoo and conditioner as well as hair spray and have worn many of them before. This one has more of a luxurious air. Smells deeper with all the creamy and animalic textures of an actual tuberose without getting too dirty. Smells exotic, fleshy, like eggplant sometimes. The tuberose is coming through but it's subdued and has a sweet jasmine-gardenia type of scent. There's also ylang ylang in it. The dry down comes fast and smells less of the eucalyptus wood and more musky, leathery. This is a soft musk or white musk, clean and very refreshing. I'm into hair mist perfumes and also now have the Chanel No 5 hair mist which is really really nice. This is an alternative to fragrance as in EDP EDT and EDC when you just want to wear something short lived and sweet, soft, and refreshing after a shower. It's also not cheap like typical drugstore hair spray. This is also a bit better than Victoria Secret hair mist or body mists. This smells good as it clings to the ends of my hair and my T shirt or blouse collars catch the scent. Good for spring and summer months. Feminine and fresh, but pretty expensive so if you really want it you got to invest!

This hair mist features the same natural tuberose absolute as the perfume and honestly this is just basically an EDT version because this stuff performs very well. It's definitely not your average weak hair mist that's for sure. In fact "hair mist" my ass, you can easily wear this like any other perfume, not necessarily just in your hair. Lol. Just like the EDP version Carnal Flower Hair Mist opens with a photorealistic tuberose that reminds me precisely of the pikake/tuberose leis we would get for special occasions when I was a teenager living in Hawaii. Almost unbearably bright at the start, it takes a bit for the eye-popping top notes to mellow into one of the most seductive tuberose 'fumes out there. It diffuses the carnal smell of the eponymous flower. One can recognize the milky, spicy, fruity but also fresh and green smell that tuberose exudes on a summer night. I am a committed Carnal Flower lover and it has always been in my top 5 favorite perfumes, usually being placed at number 1 depending on what mood I'm in and what time of the year it is, therefore I was bound to end up purchasing the whole body line and I have finally done it. Hair Mist, body butter, and body wash. So I'm walking around all day long feeling like a goddess from the narcotic floral energy of this insanely good aroma wafting around my body. Dominique Ropion I am forever grateful to you for this magnificent creation Sir.

This has been reformulated. The most recent liquid is white in color and is extremely weak. This was a bad time for me to buy a full 100ml bottle. Lasts 30 minutes, I kid you not. Not much in terms of hair care - feels it's actually drying. Not buying another mist from Malle again. A guess: the Malle people read all the reviews below saying the mist was on par with or exceeded in longevity the original EDP and decided to cut the perfume oil level but ended up killing it. Considering its price, go for the EDP instead.

Guys, guys, guys thank you to the reviews down below! I recently bought a 50mL of CF edp after falling in love with it. After reading the reviews down below about this being very strong I pulled the trigger on buying this beauty. I’m wearing a spray of the edp and the hair mist on both wrists and I’d go so far as to say this is like an edt of carnal flower. I’m thrilled.

Featured in 2016 if I'm correct, this addition is great to scent your hair. I'm huge fan of the original and it is true to the eau de parfum. It lasts 4-5 hours on my hair and sometimes I wear it on its own in the heat.

Photorealistic tuberose in its full glory, soft, sweet & a little sweaty. So much more than a hair mist, I could quite literally bathe in this. Please bring it back - 10/10

I don't like this at all. I find it very sweet with a note of rotten rubbish on the drydown which is the tuberose I guess. Not a fan.

How is this different from the Edp?
