4000 metres above sea level, with its snowy glaciers and pristine lakes, rivers gush through deep Himalayan valleys, densely forested with majestic towering Deodar trees. At this high altitude, the Valley of Kashmir presents a uniquely breath-taking terrain. Home to a diverse array of plants, meadows are blanketed with wild, rare blue poppies and Kashmiri saffron each summer.
Kashmir by Ormonde Jayne is not without considerable allure. The emphasis of this woody hypnotic scent is Deodar, from the cedar wood family and a soft dreamy sandalwood, underscored with iris, rose, jasmine, cashmeran, vanilla and a caress of musk to fix this pervasive perfume.
YLANG 49 is a chypre floral, where pua noa noa (gardenia from Tahiti) completes the floral voluptuousness of ylang ylang…
Patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, and benjoin follow to tip the blend into darker sensual undertones… YLANG 49 is a walk in the woods, a lush floral bouquet in your hand, listening to J.S. Bach’s well-tempered clavier and realizing that a floral composition can go beyond flowers, in the same way a fugue in D minor is way beyond the D.”

,,ROSARINE, meaning “queen of roses” in Thai, encompasses the rose plant’s green and earthy nuances, while focusing on its glorious -sweet, fruity and spicy- floralcy. The fragrance is a token of the first day I visited the majestic Parc de Bagatelle in Paris; there, sitting among the thousands of roses, I promised myself to follow my heart’s desire: become a perfumer.” – Pissara Umavijani

Uncompromising, bold, filled with enigmatic charm.
Based on master perfumer Maurice Roucel’s personal cologne, Uncut Gem is an unapologetically manly scent, diamond-hard and absolutely fresh. Clear, spicy top notes of ginger, bergamot, mandarin, angelica root and nutmeg lead you to the sensual fire within: a leathery accord, vetiver, frankincense, generous amounts of amber, and a musk that vibrates with the skin. This is a scent that plays with the tired codes of masculinity while extracting their telluric force to create something beautiful and irresistible.
Maurice Roucel started his career as a chemist at Chanel’s Fragrance Laboratory in 1973. A self-taught perfumer who describes himself as “an explorer wandering amidst formulas”, his style is that of a sensuous aesthete and his signature is generous composition, in which he retains only what is essential.
The ultimate in soft powdery perfume with facets of iris, bluebells and violets like sweet candy floss, Babylonia begins its persuasion with a quartet of luscious gourmand notes – blackcurrant, pink pepper, davana and bergamot – followed by the heavenly warmth of soft musk, sweet resins, vanilla and praline.
The perfume sings in perfect harmony and could not fail to achieve a sense of romance – positively enchanting.

The perfume bottles of the narcotics family are adorned with a distinctive white lacquer and their bottle has been meticulously engraved on each side, with the representation of the Achilles shield.

A gold metal plate on which the name of the perfume is engraved by hand adds an extra touch of sophistication. These details bring to the KILIAN creation a guarantee of luxury, that should not be ephemeral, but should last a lifetime. That’s why the bottle of this cellar perfume can be refilled indefinitely.
CITRUS
The Orchid Man is Frapin’s tenth fragrance. It draws part of its inspiration from the surprising personality of boxer Georges Carpentier, nicknamed in America as “the Orchid Man”.
Frapin was instantly drawn to the life of this legend to tell its new fragrant story.
Boxing, like perfume, is about facing yourself. An encounter of rituals and studied gestures. It is also a moment of violence that must be elegant. Governed by precise rules and respect for the opponent, boxing became a gentleman’s sport at the end of the 19th century.
David Frossard, an expert of the boxing world, took all of this into consideration when he launched the idea for a fresh, elegant, powerful and virile perfume.
Jérôme Epinette, whom he met several years earlier, has been entrusted with the interpretation of this world which is both animal and cerebral.
Top notes : black pepper, bergamot.
Middle notes : leather accord, jasmine petals.
Base notes : patchouli, black amber, oak moss.
WOODY
IF BY R.K.
It was by crossing India from north to south during a charity race that David Frossard, artistic director of the the House Frapin, found the inspiration for this new fragrance. IF, pays tribute to India with its precious wood, sandalwood from Mysore and the native poet of Bombay, Rudyard Kipling and his famous poem “If”.
I was lucky enough to travel from the north to the south of India during a charity race this year and on passing through Mysore, the verses of “If” came to me. It was my grandfather, a great traveller if ever there was one, who introduced me to this poem when I was a child. This lesson that needs to be repeated every day in order to become what we are”: David Frossard, artistic director of Parfums Frapin.
