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.

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.

The ideal man is a myth. His fragrance, a reality.
The Ideal Man is a myth. But thanks to Guerlain, his fragrance is a reality with L’Homme Idéal Intense.
The ideal Eau de Parfum Intense?
Fiery spices, bewitching tonka bean and smoky notes for an utterly intriguing trail. A vigorous, elegant, woody-spicy-oriental fragrance.
The ideal bottle?
Masculine, luxurious and distinguished. A square, faceted bottle fully coated in black lacquer. The label borrows its dynamic energy from yellow. A heavy, decidedly masculine cap that is also matt and borrows its guilloché detailing from the world of watchmaking.
Floral Vanilla Perfume
FRAGRANCE NOTES & DESCRIPTION
Inspiration:A perfume as complex and dazzling as the woman who wears it.
Fragrance story: The notes conjure, in scent, the delicate gold leafing and play between light and shadow, for which the painting is celebrated. Perfumer Calice Becker was inspired by the fascinating contrast between the painting’s facets, which she describes as “texturized and brilliant, rich and voluptuous.Its zesty luminosity is the fragrant expression of this brightness. The petal-y rose heart depicts all of the facets of the rose. Finally, vanilla absolute’s unctuosity appears generously in the drydown, adorned by an exclusive patchouli molecule, the Akigalawood.
Key notes: Bergamot, Rose, Tonka Bean
Olfactive Family: Narcotics – From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia… Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.

To showcase this exceptional marriage, AFFINESSENCE has combined two types of VANILLA (Tahitian Vanilla Absolute, intensely fragranced with leather overtones and the sweet scent of Madagascan Vanilla Absolute) and blended them with an exquisite alter ego: Siamese BENZOIN, a fragrant Resin originating in Laos, highly valued for its balsamic and almond notes.
As Ambroxan, enfolded in Tonka Bean and Moroccan and Chinese Cedar, exudes its carnal notes, the Benzoin transcends the Vanilla with its intoxicating scent as if to better diffuse its spellbinding trail. Perfumer : Corine CACHEN.

Fragrance story: Rolling in Love is a musc de peau, capturing the sensation of feeling so high on love that it seems to almost “get under the skin.” Working with perfumer Pascal Gaurin, Kilian Hennessy took an entirely new direction. Rolling in Love is more direct and less faceted than his previous fragrances—almost “monochromatic” in its focused representation of a single emotion. Rolling in Love is a “white” scent, layering different textures along the scent’s trail with notes of ambrette seeds, almond milk, iris, and musk.
Key notes: Almond milk, iris, musk.
Olfactive Family: Narcotics – From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia… Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.

Tom Ford Lost Cherry is a full-bodied journey into the once-forbidden; a contrasting scent that reveals a tempting dichotomy of playful, candy-like gleam on the outside and luscious flesh on the inside.
Innocence intersects indulgence with an opening that captures the classic perfection of the exotic cherry fruit, Black Cherry's ripe flesh dripping in cherry liqueur glistens with a teasing touch of Bitter Almond.
The heart bursts forth in cherry waves of sweet and tart. Griotte Syrup expresses the textured maceration of voluptuous fruits while breathtaking florals Turkish Rose and Jasmine Sambac penetrate the senses and soul.
Peru Balsam and Roasted Tonka at the drydown suggest a new portrait of an iconic symbol. When blended with an unexpected melange of sandalwood, vetiver and cedar, the finish reaches fantasy-inspiring levels of insatiability.

This is a perfume composed exclusively of natural essences and inspired by the universal principle of Yin.
The lunar strength of Davana and Ylang-Ylang takes root in the balmy depths of Labdanum and Opoponax.
Lunar and luscious, a velvety, amber perfume that is profoundly carnal.
This is the perfume of Yin.
Mix & Match
Like Yin & Yang, 1/.4 and 1/.5 are interdependent, mutually enhancing one another. Each one brings richness in its own right, and while one unveils Nature’s brute strength, the other unfurls a powerful ethereal and creative energy.
All together they form an olfactive synergy, a circulation of a breath which connects natural to synthetic raws in a delicate and full fragrance, subtle and deep at the same time.

ROUGE ASSASSIN
Floral, woody, musky
A colour can have an odour. This Rouge Assassin perfumes the powdery nuances of a carmine, voluptuously ardent lipstick. A woman’s lipstick, a woman in love who would use it to write a message on a mirror, a fervent declaration or fiery last words, final until tomorrow. Passion, jealousy, vengeance… Love is a hot-blooded killer who leaves behind a criminal trail. As he passes, both women and men succumb.
