Reports disagree about the extent or effects of changes to Carnal Flower Eau de Parfum.

Some comparisons describe a quieter modern Carnal Flower, while others find it as strong as before. The current UK house disclosure has no formula identifier and cannot establish the earlier formula history.

A batch code alone does not establish which formula is in a bottle.

If you need to check a particular bottle, ask Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle or the retailer about its batch code and product details. Comparisons between bottles are not confirmation from the manufacturer.
