To structure and give body to this tangy Frozen Musks sorbet, AFFINESSENCE has created an original plant lace, made from Fresh Fibres and Roots.
Among these intertwined essences seek the invigorating one of Ginger (Nigeria), the surprising one of Raw Carrot, crunchy and slightly sweet, and the distinguished of Vetiver from Java.

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.
Fiery red metal, cool to the touch. Luminous berries atop darkened leaves. COPPER is an olfactive interrogation of perceived differences and their harmonious alignment.
A blend of distinct olfactive components: vivid pinks positioned against deep greens. Bright contrasts reveal new clarity. Ingredients found across the globe find unity in a single scent.
Fresh galbanum harvested atop the Iranian mountains; luminous peppercorns picked in Peru; rhizomes of spicy Madagascan ginger distilled into oil.
Like rust corroding a golden sheen, with time COPPER evolves on the skin.
Encased within a copper vessel, organically formed and industrially made, COPPER transforms contradictions into compatibility. The subversive spirit of Comme des Garçons explored through scent.
A deep and smokey amber perfume with floral flourishes, inspired by this key design material of the era. A warm amber, spiced with aromatic and smokey blonde tobacco tells the story of Art Deco decadence. A riot of flourishing florals and dried fruits join the melee of fine ingredients, creating an indulgent blend.
A romantic and dynamic story of the Art Deco period is bought to life in pure perfume pleasure.
THE STORY: Famed as the Eighth Wonder of the World, The Amber Room was presented to Peter the Great by the King of Prussia. Glowing at the heart of Catherine Palace near St Petersburg, the chamber was lined entirely with amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors. When lit with more than five hundred candles it was reputed to glow like trapped sunshine and fiery gold. Created by melting together amber, Cognac and honey, its history and brilliance has inspired the creation of this fragrance.
THE FRAGRANCE: Smoky, warm and glowing, the heady amber, as seductive as its inspiration, is lit with Italian bergamot, sensual Turkish rose and warmed through with spices, cinnamon and cedar wood. Glowing.

Overture Man is an instantly arresting woody scent inspired by man’s solitude in the world; dramatic, bold and confident. Created by renowned perfumer Karine Vinchon, Overture Man is an operatic portrayal of a gentleman’s mystique encapsulated in potent notes of Myrrh, Sandalwood and smoky Frankincense
The Fragrance opens to bold notes that are starkly contrasted by the citrusy, spicy and aromatic freshness of Grapefruit, Saffron, Cardamom, Cumin and Ginger. As it evolves, it reveals a softer heart of resinous floral notes crowned by Myrrh and Geranium, giving this creation a sophisticated edge, but as it matures, Overture Man unveils a truly timeless essence of smoky woodiness from Frankincense that engulfs its wearer in mystery.
This sensuous and rich oriental rose opens with a fruity and fragrant bolt of cardamom, bergamot, orange, pine and ginger and melts into a sensual floral heart of rose, jasmine and cognac.
The guaic and tonka make the base slightly sweet and resinous blended with fragrant woods and light incense. This is a charming and versatile oriental rose.
INSPIRATION
Summanus was the Roman god of Nocturnal Thunder, the Monarch of Night. This scent celebrates Jupiter’s oft forgotten dark twin with its electric lightening bolt of cardamon and black pepper and its moody base.
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.

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.

Playful, effervescent and surprisingly addictive, Eau de Sisley 3 sparkles with a seductive, teasing and aloof whimsy.
A combination of strong and subtle notes blend together: essence of Bergamot, essence of Mandarin, the bitterness of Grapefruit, and the acidity of Lemon. Its exotic and sensual heart combines Red Ginger with the soft delight of Chinese Osmanthus and hints of peach and apricot. A feminine spirit, it leaves a delicious scent in the wake of its wearer, sculpted by the strength of Patchouli and Vetiver, the smoothness of Benzoin and Vanilla and the softness of Musk.
Eau de Sisley Perfumes: Three creative takes on a classic scent, revealing the freshness of chypre, for any occasion or mood.
A refreshing encounter with nature, this fougère fragrance epitomises the vitality of verdant valleys. Lively, crisp and clean, Oud Vert is a signature summer scent with an eminently relaxed composure that renders it perennial. Energetic top notes herald the arrival of zesty Mediterranean bergamot fused with Madagascan ginger and Sri Lankan cardamom. Warming geranium offers balance paired with a skin-synergistic musk that lingers with intent.
REMEMBER ME
Oriental, gourmand
How many times have you let yourself be taken by surprise and found yourself enticed by a fragrance wafting from a café terrace, captivated by scent of a secret garden — or perhaps beguiled by an unforgettable perfume worn by a stranger in a crowd? And how many times have you secretly wished to be that anonymous stranger who captivates merely by virtue of a perfume?
Like perfectly formed exotic dancers, frangipani flowers engage in an elaborate, spellbinding choreography. As the enchantment takes hold, a plume of traditional chai tea perfects the charm. Ginger and cardamom set ablaze an irresistible cloud of milky, gourmand notes.
A spell in the guise of a perfume that murmurs Remember Me.
