Overview

Contre-Jour was launched in February 2026 by Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle. It is the house's first new release since 2024, and the first to appear after the departure of its founder, Frédéric Malle. The composition is signed by perfumer Annick Menardo, a well-recognized figure in contemporary olfactory creation.

The heart combines Mediterranean immortelle with rose, creating a contrast between the herbaceous, honeyed warmth of the immortelle and the floral delicacy of the rose. A sandalwood base lends roundness and woody depth to the whole.
