A scent for all seasons, Solstis charts the celestial energy of the longest and shortest days, closing chapters and heralding new beginnings.
Crisp apple and citrus notes evoke sultry summers, while spicy pink pepper adds a rosy, romantic nuance. Meanwhile, earthy spices and zesty white florals intertwine, submitting to autumnal nutmeg, neroli and cardamom. The primal dance endures as Japanese vetiver mimics the intense aroma of fertile woods after rainfall. Milky green notes of sensual sandalwood and a dash of vanilla linger as the depths of winter loom.
Inspired by London’s iconic streets and style, this intensely invigorating fragrance exudes sartorial elegance aplenty. Its origins pay homage to London Oud with a fresher, more contemporary vista. Eminently easy and as fluid as London life, transitioning from dawn to dusk with unblemished performance. Spearmint, Marine notes, and lemon lend a masculine edge softened by the subtle floral tones of quintessentially English lavender. A refined genteel base of aromatic cedarwood and warming spices complete this pen portrait of pure charisma.
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.

Working the ingredient to express its full potential and meeting the challenge of composing two different eaux de parfum with the same notes: juniper berries, nutmeg, coriander, musks, ambery woods and vanilla. The Gentle Fluidity duo was born of the perfumer’s imagination to offer two distinct olfactory silhouettes, for her or for him.
In Gentle fluidity (silver), nutmeg and ambery woods are dominant and release a vibrant, comfortable trail. As for juniper berry essence, it leads to an ascending, ultra-fresh, aromatic note, similar to a “gin frappé” effect, balanced by the dry, slightly balmy, spicy notes of nutmeg. The base notes reveal ambery wood facets ranging from sweet and enveloping to powerful and dry.

Working the ingredient to express its full potential and meeting the challenge of composing two different eaux de parfum with the same notes: juniper berries, nutmeg, coriander, musks, ambery woods and vanilla. The Gentle Fluidity duo was born of the perfumer’s imagination to offer two distinct olfactory silhouettes, for her or for him.
In gentle Fluidity’s (gold) generous, enveloping trail, we can find coriander seed essence and an overdose of musks and vanilla. The floral, spicy note of coriander seeds brings, just like musks, ethereal volume and a lingering trail. In the base notes, the gourmand, reassuring notes of the vanilla accord enhanced by the ambery woods reveal a radiant, bright silhouette.
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 sensual, intense and warm. Eau de Parfum for women. This unique fragrance was inspired by an intimate and artistic world. Soir de Lune encompasses the evening when love is revealed. It reveals a strong personality, with its spicy and smooth warmth that evokes a subtly fruity bouquet. With sensuality and allure, the fragrance unveils its perfect blend of the freshness of citrus, the femininity and elegance of floral scents and the strong character of its woody and musky notes.
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…
