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.

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.
LEATHERY
Today tobacco is a more forbidden pleasure than alcohol. It is to this rare olfactive family that Marc-Antoine Corticchiato’s composition belongs.
Refreshed by a mojito accord (rum, mint and lime), this suave blond tobacco is enhanced with the liqueur-like richness of immortelle and the hay/almond facets of liatrix and tonka bean.A smooth oriental leather rubbed with rich amber deepens this tawny palette.
Olfactory pyramid:
Top: Rum extract, Indian Davana, Sweet italian orange, Fizzy lime from Brazil
Heart: Cold russian mint, Egyptian geranium
Base: Oriental leather accord: Ciste, Labdanum, Styrax
Tobacco accord: Tobacco, Liatrix, Everlasting flower, Tonka bean, White musks
Crafted as an overpainting, Interlude Black Iris uses a refined palette to smoothen the facets of the original creation. A complex interplay of dark stoic serenity and buried vibrant power bursting upwards, into the light..
For the first time, an almond scent for men composed by Guerlain around three accords
The intelligence of a sparkling and perfectly fresh top note: citrus, rosemary, orange blossom
The beauty of an incredibly sensual “amaretto” heart note based on an almond/tonka bean duo.
The strength of a woody leather base note, definitely masculine: Indian vetiver, cedar and leather given a contemporary interpretation.
The ideal man is a myth. His fragrance, a reality. Guerlain decodes men’s aspirations and creates for them a concentrate of ideal.
The ideal fragrance ? Smart, handsome, strong. Three adjectives, three accords for this fresh woody fragrance that will trigger your full potential
The ideal bottle? Masculine, luxurious and distinguished…
A mysterious pack, a graphic, black and white object, a flashcode as a door to a digital universe.
The bottle – square, facetted and streamlined, luxurious. Radical matte black lacquer side faces. A decidedly masculine, heavy cap that is also matte and borrows its guilloché detailing from the world of watchmaking.
Passion Boisée celebrates this long-drawn intimacy. Just as cognac in its cask, the fragrance is embraced by wood: the dry and incisive elegance of cedar and the mossy, almost chocolaty depth of patchouli.
Against this backdrop, some of the most characteristic aromas of cognac conjure an evocative setting. The warm Christmas smell of tangerine spiked with cloves. The burning spices in a glass of rum. The smoothness of a leather armchair or of a jacket worn soft by years of love. A whiff of night-time forest through an open window…

Socially incorrect fragrances based on man-made places and materials of daily life. Ground breaking anti-perfumes pushing beyond the realm of traditional fragrances.
Grilled cigarettes teamed with town gas and bergamot.
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.
Eau de parfum, 100 ml natural spray.
With a heavy zamac cap signed AFFINESSENCE and its precious cahsmere pouch to perfume, this eau de parfum is presented in a luxurious black-lacquered wood coffret, with magnetic closure, and a wrapped cardboard box.
EXPLICIT. EXCLUSIVE. FABULOUS.
A DECADENT ORIENTAL LEATHER WITH AN INTOXICATING GRIP CAPTURES A RARIFIED AIR. EVOKING THE PRIVATE EXCHANGES AND INSIDER MOMENTS WHERE FANTASIES COME TRUE, THE SCENT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED IN ONE WAY.
INSPIRED BY TOM FORD'S LOVE OF FINE LEATHER, THIS ULTRA-SEXY INTERPRETATION CAPTURES THE PRIMAL, ANIMALISTIC SCENT OF LEATHER AND ITS SMOOTH VOLUPTUOUS QUALITIES. A MODERN CLASSIC, THE ADDITION OF OLIBANUM, NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE, AND BLACK SUEDE GIVES IT A DISTINCTIVE, MODERN SPIN THAT IS RAW YET REFINED, SENSUAL YET SOPHISTICATED.
At the fore, an emphatic reinterpretation of rose; pure, streamlined, uncompromisingly modern. Blended with a unique extraction of timut pepper, geranium bourbon and a note of cassis for freshness and spice.
Yet a quiet storm lies beneath: vetiver and cedar forms an earthy bed of dark, mysterious leather with IsoButyl Quinoline at the center – an intensely bitter molecule, largely forgotten since its use in the daring perfumery of the Jazz Age.
At once sparkling and sober, a recognisably floral composition is shadowed by a dramatic, yet controlled sensuality.
Evening in Esperanto
This resolutely masculine extract is dedicated to dandyish urban night owls who were just waiting for their signature perfume to
come along. A fragrance so insidery, finding likeminded spirits who wear it becomes almost a game, a knowing nod among members of the same elite club.
Grapefruit, jasmine, musk
