Uncut Gem by Frederic Malle opens sharp and warm together: ginger and bergamot cut through angelica, nutmeg and mandarin orange. Vetiver, olibanum, leather and magnolia carry the heart, giving it a smoky, resinous edge rather than anything soft. The base settles into amber, cedar, labdanum and musk, dry and a touch animalic underneath. Released in 2022, it is mostly worn by men who want an evening scent with some grit to it, suited to work as much as a night out. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, wearing it into the evening and night. Most of the longevity vote goes to long-lasting, and sillage settles close to moderate rather than loud. A 3ml decant gets you through a full working week, plenty of time to know if it is worth the bottle.

The community verdict
A fresh spicy, woody blend, Uncut Gem moves from bergamot and angelica towards olibanum, leather and amber. Most find it long-lasting with moderate projection. It suits autumn nights, with winter evenings working too; its assertive character tends to appeal to men who like a sharper style.

The house
More from Frederic Malle
Frederic Malle is a French niche house that began in 2000, and its perfumes favour depth and structure over passing trends. Rose, amber and musk run through the range, often warmed with cinnamon, cloves or saffron and grounded in patchouli and sandalwood. Portrait of a Lady is the one to try first: a dark, spiced rose resting on amber. Musc Ravageur, from the house's first year, is warm, powdery musk with vanilla. Promise turns rose earthy and woody, while The Moon sets sweet fruit against oud. Acne Studios goes the other way, fresh and aldehydic. Wear two or three for a week and the house style soon comes into focus.
