What makes INTERLUDE 53 MAN an “Exceptional Extrait”?
A fragrance is usually a mix of a concentrate (containing fragrant oils) and an alcoholic base. Some fragrances can also contain a bit of water and additives like liquid UV filters, stabilizers or colourants. Therefore, fragrances with a higher fragrance concentration contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, and vice-versa.
Usually, a higher perfume oil concentration means an increased performance of the fragrance (particularly longer lasting scent) – but the impact of oil concentration is much more complex and varies depending on each formula.

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

Encapsulating the timeless style and grace of haute couture, Heritage is a luxurious jasmine perfume of remarkable depth and projection. A delicate but defiant powdery vintage floral with a crisp, fresh opening of bergamot that leans into the majesty of transcendental frankincense. Comforting warmth is derived from quintessential cedarwood and balsamic sandalwood, while creamy vanilla and a touch of natural Oud create an enduring halo of sophistication and poise.
An exquisite marine-inspired fragrance full of intriguing contradiction. At first, fresh and intensely invigorating with its uplifting hit of mandarin, yet comforting with a reassuring ensemble of complex woody, spicy notes. Take leave and journey to the ocean’s tranquillity in a classical French perfume of note. Oud Bleu is an elegant projection of juxtapositions, a cool breeze that caresses the skin before enveloping its subject in a blanket of velvety warmth.
The olfactory iteration of pure luxury, Parisian radiates an assertive air of opulence and glamour in its complex floral composition. An authentic tribute to the modern home of perfumery, this classical parfum encapsulates the chic spirit of the city of love. Opening with spicy Pink Pepper, beguiling Cardamom, juicy Grapefruit and Almond, the scent intensifies like a sensual love story with hints of Rose Essence, Geranium, leather and a delicate touch of pure Oud.
