Until the day when God deigns to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom will be in these two words: Wait and hope!
The Count of Monte Cristo, literary masterpiece, sums up in itself the French spirit, where love, ambition, betrayal, and friendship, confront pain, pain and of course revenge… Everyone knows this vengeful epic, but its moral is much less known and partly more enigmatic… Our hero declaring in conclusion: “All human wisdom can be summed up in these two words: Wait and hope”.
Maison Frapin thus pays homage to this incarnation of elegance, strength, intelligence and mystery that is Edmond Dantes. Through a very original walnut and vetiver accord, it olfactorily interprets this expectation marked by Taoism and this Christian hope. The freshness of the vetiver being resolutely turned towards the future while the telluric wisdom, is it, carried by the tutelary figure of the black walnut. A dandy fragrance, imbued with philosophy and mystery.
The Trilogy of Skin Waters pays homage to the noblest animal notes. After the power of Peau de Bête and the gentleness of Belle Bête,
this latest opus invites us to follow a man through his quest for nature.
A man who has become wild through his withdrawal from the urban world, his journey to the center of the scents of nature, his immersion in the forest make him a green adventurer, a Human Beast in love with chestnut trees.

Echoing life’s most vivid and celebrated experiences shaped by moments of tribulation and strength, Silver Oud is an olfactive depiction of Stendhal’s 19th-century French novel, The Red and the Black, and its intelligent and ambitious protagonist, Julien Sorel. Paying tribute to the House’s signature storytelling tradition, Cécile Zarokian brings Silver Oud to life in a woody ambery Eau de Parfum that showcases the most precious Oud in all its glory.
Inspired by the themes expressed in The Red and the Black, particularly the notions of Confusion, Passion and Destruction, Silver Oud is a manifestation of the tension between idealism and realism, the contradiction between thinking and feeling, and the power of mimetic desire.
Opening with Patchouli Molecular Distillation, Cypriol Oil, and Virginia Cedar Oil, confusion lies in the lack of an expected top note. Instead, a wide variety of woods come to the fore, announcing a deep evolution. At the heart of the creation, an exquisitely rich quality Oud Assam Oil dances in unison with a deep Vanilla (Madagascar) Absolute as a beautiful duo of contrasts. Meanwhile, Ambrarome, Birch Oil, Guaiac Wood Oil, and Castoreum leave dark sillage imprints on the skin, the smoky woods blending together in an endless finale

The pure seduction of a fragrance with wild magnetism.
The perfumes of Maison MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS are the result of the meeting of two young creators. One is a designer, the other is a perfumer and it was childhood memories that brought them together. Those bewitching perfumes of character; the leather of an elegant briefcase or an impeccable desk pad; and the woody and vegetal scents in reference to memories of warm homes as well as family walks in the forest. The artistic direction of the first and the olfactory talent of the second made the magic of these beautiful fragrances.
This delightful woody amber enters with a fresh and elegant cardamom, lightly laced with plum and pomegranate before opening into a heart of Egyptian jasmine, a fresh, aromatic, clean patchouli and a tint of rose. The light woods of sandalwood and cedar combined with a light musk and amber notes make this a light, sensuous and very versatile scent.
INSPIRATION
The fresh faced natural beauty of Persephone was free from artifice or evil, her sweet nature and purity of soul was adored by gods, goddesses and humankind. Her playground and purpose was nature, symbolic of spring and summer, she was associated with flowers, harvest, fruit, grain and the beauty and bounty of nature.
This perfume was created with Patchouli of the Underworld as a pair. Two perfumers explore the central note of Patchouli through two lenses of the same story: that of Pluto and his Queen Persephone.
PERFUMERS NOTE
“I used patchouli heart which is a cleaner patchouli note and enriched with musky and ambery textures. On top, I added fresh spicy elements, notably Cardamom from Guatemala. I combined the patchouli character with floral notes of Bulgarian rose. To enhance the fruity part of the rose, I added a note of plum that also goes really well with the warmth of the patchouli. For the floral heart, I used responsibly-sourced jasmine from Egypt for its richness. I added a gourmand twist with honey and a touch of coffee. This is rounded by a creamy facet with sandalwood notes and blond woods. And of course 6 pomegranate seeds.” Christian Provenzano
