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.

Embrace your perfume in the mythical Bee Bottle.
Designed in 1853 by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain for the Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoléon III, this precious bottle is adorned with the symbol of the Empire: the bee, which is now La Maison Guerlain’s emblem.
Carla Lavender, an exceptional variety grown in Provence, shakes up the sensual and enveloping Vanilla Tahitensis by infusing it with its audacity and freshness. Sambac Jasmine, gathered at sunrise, gives this composition all of its finesse. Album Sandalwood expresses strength and preserves the mystery of eternal femininity.
DESCRIPTION
Mon Guerlain, the House’s new fragrance, is a tribute to today’s femininity –
a strong, free and sensual femininity, inspired by Angelina Jolie.
My invisible tattoo, my fragrance, Mon Guerlain.
The fresh oriental fragrance enhances exceptional raw materials: Carla Lavender from Provence, Sambac Jasmine from India, Album Sandalwood from Australia and Vanilla Tahitensis from Papua New Guinea. It expresses the quintessence of a history replete with experiences, nourished by success, expertise and generosity, all infused with the same passion since 1828.
The “quadrilobe” bottle, created in 1908, established itself as one of Guerlain’s iconic bottles. Simple and graphic, it echoes an alchemist’s bottle and owes its name “quadrilobe” to its stopper, which is formed from one piece to obtain a shape resembling four lobes. One century later, beautifully enhanced by a luxurious glass weight and a golden adornment, this bottle offers a contrast between strong taut lines and sensual curves, expressing contemporary femininity.

DETAILS
The perfume Voulez-vous coucher avec Moi is part of the KILIAN Narcotics family. From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia… Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.
A lot of attention is taken in each bottle of KILIAN refillable perfume, to make them real precious objects. The perfume bottles of the narcotics family are adorned with a distinctive white lacquer and their bottle has been meticulously engraved on each side, with the representation of the Achilles shield. Like Kilian Hennessy says : « In perfumery, it is as much about seduction as it is about protection”. A gold metal plate on which the name of the perfume is engraved by hand adds an extra touch of sophistication.
These details bring to the KILIAN creation a guarantee of luxury, that should not be ephemeral, but should last a lifetime. That’s why the bottle of this cellar perfume can be refilled indefinitely.

An elegantly simple, yet intricately composed fragrance for men. Rich in fine natural essences, it is structured around the lentisk, a Mediterranean shrub, and the island of Corsica, birthplace of the d'Ornano family.

Refined floral aromas accompany the lentisk, evoking elegance and warmth and dark woody scents emphasize its sensual character.
The bottle is a work of art, symbolizing man's desire to fly; to detach oneself from the ground in search of lightness, intensity and freedom, for an instant of elegance, the softness of wind and the ability to touch the sun. Crystalline and clear, an abstract wing and the shape of a man's torso is carved out of the glass. Design by Bronislaw Krzysztof.
