Izia La Nuit is an olfactory journey with a chypre, woody, floral trail just as intense as the memory of a romantic encounter.
Izia la Nuit is an ode to the night, another tribute to a mysterious and unique rose found in Isabelle d’Ornano’s garden that only blooms once a year for a short time.
Inspired by the original Izia, a bright, airy floral scent, Izia La Nuit offers a renewed intensity combined with the warmth brought by vanilla and amber blends with the sensuality of the rose. Izia la Nuit is a sophisticated and modern scent which combines fruity and colorful notes with deep woody and leathery facets for an elegant, long lasting trail.
The sculptural bottle created by artist Bronislaw Krzysztof is adorned with a mysterious, glossy lacquer. Its deep black shade contrasts with the delicate golden film that reflects the luminous juice.
This new perfume is a tribute to the seductive souls who each have their own rituals of preparation. The slow, measured method of dressing. The make up, the rice powder… these are all a prelude to seduction. And even if their gestures are different and their secrets proper, they all share a common ritual: their ‘final touch’ is the application of perfume.
Touche Finale is a reinterpretation of a perfume that has already left it’s mark in the history of the rebirth of Jovoy: 2006’s renowned Poudré.
After more than two years of work, the independent perfumer, Vanina Muracciole has managed to preserve the soul of the original Poudré, whilst exalting it, in this new, ultimate version.
At Frapin, we work and live far from the major cities. Our personal and professional lives follow the circadian rhythm of days and nights, the changing of the seasons, the wind blowing in the trees.
This closeness to nature sustains us more than one might think. We model nature and are modelled by it, surrounded as we are by meadows, vines, rivers and woods.
This proximity is the hallmark of our style, our essence, our elegance. We admire wood, work it, drink it and smell it. This wood is our age-old wisdom. We listen to its lessons and secrets. Its verticality shows us the only way forward, that of ascending. It is at times hot, enveloping, aromatic or deep. It strongly underscores our style; that of Bois Blanc.

The Japanese garden is still asleep. At 10 o’clock, time stands still. A storm breaks out and the plants gather new strength. The air grows warmer, as the scent of gardenias and white flowers dotted with raindrops hangs in the mist.
An inimitable style of its own, this old-world fashion capital of romance requires a signature fragrance of note. That fragrance is undeniably Milano, a liquefied expression of glamour, high society and impeccable class. Opening with a burst of native Sicilian bergamot and zesty orange, Milano canters coquettishly into Italian springtime saffron and thyme-infused freshness. Fruity notes court balsamic olibanum and jasmine to create an aromatic character rooted in a luxuriating expanse of an exclusive leather accord.
Arriving like the delicate veil of first dawn on the French Riviera, this fresh floral perfume salutes new beginnings with its demure yet powerful composition. Undeniably juicy and delightfully invigorating, Brume Du Matin nourishes with an early fruit accord of mandarin and bergamot, ripening in the heart with luscious peach and plum and a gentle bouquet of delicate flowers. Amber and white musk’s sweet, creamy undertones bring balance to the elegant medley. A delicious mellow fragrance, as deft and beguiling as the morning mist that inspired its creation.
FLORAL
Frapin honours Laskarina’s memory with a perfume of character. After all, she is a truly multi-faceted muse: part wife, mother, businesswoman and adventurer. She was unfettered, fearless, and her own woman – all qualities shared by the great heroines of history and the early feminists. More than just a perfume, Laskarina is a tribute to Womankind.
Amelie Bourgeois rose to the challenge of finding the notes for such a strong-willed perfume. She built a floral, spicy jus, gentle yet feisty, reflecting the paradox of Laskarina. You could say it embodies the iron fist in a velvet glove. Starting off on fresh, sweet notes, it ends on unyielding accords of pepper and amber.
Top notes: Italian bergamot, grapefruit, pink peppercorn, pear sorbet
Middle notes: Tunisian orange blossom, Bulgarian rose
Base notes: frankincense, black pepper, iris, Ambroxan Ambrocenide
CITRUS
L’Humaniste opens with a spicy citrus vibrant boom, supported by the aromatic facets of juniper and thyme, highlighting a surprising \\\\\\\’gin\\\\\\\’ accord. A fresh and light fragrance created by Sidonie Lancesseur.
It is to François Rabelais, the most illustrious member of the dynasty, that the house of Frapin has dedicated L’Humaniste, a fragrance as bracing and limpid as the curious, open minds of Renaissance men. Its playful ‘gin’ accord is a wink to Rabelaisian humour and to the oracle of the Divine Bottle consulted by Pantagruel.

A first in perfumery and originating from Kerala, TURMERIC has been used for the first time in a perfume by AFFINESSENCE. A milky note enhances the precious turmeric root, causing an explosion of the delicious spicy aromas of « Turmeric Latte », a beverage that has been drunk for thousands of years in India and also known as Golden Milk. While Myrrh, Sandalwood and Patchouli offer their distinctive scents, a wonderful note of full-grain LEATHER takes over the composition, imposing its powerful animal character. Delicious luxury and sultry sensuality compete with one another in this addictive bouquet with its bold scent.

AFFINESSENCE has selected three Natural Essences of CEDAR (Moroccan Atlas, Texas and Virginia) and blended them with precision to enhance the vibrancy of the most precious and refined Natural ingredient: Pallida IRIS or Florentine Iris Absolute.

This is a fragrance that will stir the senses to their very depths with its breathtaking fusion of sophisticated, intensely lingering scent and Musky sensitivity. Perfumer : Nicolas BONNEVILLE.

orn from the saddle leather of a wild creature
Trailing its powerful fragrance as it passes
Stallion of light with fabulous strength
Created by a god from long ago
Whose power gives glory to his faithful
Exalted adornment like no other
