Additional information
An uncut gem.
Raw, dense — revealing its value to those who know how to look.
You know Maurice Roucel — the perfumer of cashmeran, of enveloping softness, of those compositions that cling to the skin like a second nature. Dans Tes Bras and Musc Ravageur are his most well-known signatures in the Frédéric Malle collection. Uncut Gem is his most surprising offering — less consensual, more mineral, more raw. As its name suggests, it is a gem that has not yet been polished. The value is there, immediate — but you have to know how to recognize it.
In this Eau de Parfum concentration, the composition opens with an immediate spicy and citrusy vivacity. Ginger, bergamot, mandarin, angelica root, and nutmeg create a fresh, slightly spicy and aromatic opening — lively, luminous, captivating before settling into depth. Vetiver, frankincense, leather, and magnolia arrive in the heart in a woody, resinous, and slightly leathery accord of great sophistication — the magnolia brings a discreet floral sweetness that balances the dryness of vetiver and leather. Then cistus labdanum and ambrocenide settle in the base in a deep, slightly resinous amber warmth — enveloping, persistent, with a very particular sensuality. Uncut Gem is a fragrance that demands time — and rewards those who give it.
Uncut Gem is the perfume for those who prefer works that don't reveal themselves immediately — and who know that value is earned.

A word from Maison Diaphane
Uncut Gem is the surprise of the collection for those familiar with Dans Tes Bras and Musc Ravageur — Maurice Roucel in a more raw, more mineral, less consensual register. The labdanum and ambrocenide in the base create a rich amber that takes hours to fully reveal itself. A fragrance that rewards patience.

Learn more about Uncut Gem +
Uncut Gem Eau de Parfum by Frédéric Malle is a unisex woody fragrance created by Maurice Roucel — perfumer at Givaudan, also responsible for Dans Tes Bras and Musc Ravageur in the same collection. Uncut Gem explores a more mineral and raw territory than his two other signatures — an uncut gem, whose value is gradually revealed over time. Available at Maison Diaphane, official reseller in Angers. Free delivery for orders over €100 (in France).
Its olfactory pyramid is built around a vetiver-frankincense-leather-magnolia woody and resinous heart, preceded by a fresh and spicy ginger-bergamot-mandarin-angelica-nutmeg opening, and extended by a deep amber cistus labdanum-ambrocenide base. In Eau de Parfum, the composition unfolds its full depth over 7 to 9 hours.
Uncut Gem is a woody, amber, and mineral fragrance with moderate sillage, ideal for all seasons, worn equally well by women and men.
What is ambrocenide in Uncut Gem?
Ambrocenide is a synthetic material with amber, musky, and slightly woody facets — similar to ambergris but in a more modern and precise version. In Uncut Gem, it creates with cistus labdanum a deep and very particular amber warmth — enveloping, slightly animalic, which fully develops after several hours of wear.
What is the difference between Uncut Gem, Dans Tes Bras, and Musc Ravageur — Roucel's three signatures in the collection?
Dans Tes Bras is soft and cottony — cashmeran, heliotrope, white musk. The warmth of an embrace. Musc Ravageur is animalic and generous — deep musk, vanilla, amber. An assertive presence. Uncut Gem is mineral and woody — vetiver, leather, labdanum. A raw material that slowly reveals itself. Three registers, one perfumer — each illustrating a different facet of Roucel's genius.
What season is Uncut Gem made for?
All year round. The spicy and citrusy opening makes it suitable for spring and summer, but the labdanum-ambrocenide base gives it enough depth for autumn and winter. It is a woody amber that works without seasonal restriction — lighter and fresher than Musc Ravageur, more structured and deeper than Dans Tes Bras.
Is it really a unisex fragrance?
Absolutely. Vetiver, leather, and labdanum are genderless materials — they embrace the warmth of the skin differently depending on who wears them. Uncut Gem works with the same depth and mineral elegance on all skin types. It is a fragrance of material, not of gender.
