This is a delightful incense floral with a warm resinous base.
The frankincense and amber create a beautiful warm temple / church vibe, unfurling into a rich floral heart of Indian tuberose and rose.
Absinthe and elemi and pink pepper add hedonistic make a slightly medicinal top note balanced with a spicy, woody and slightly sweet base.
INSPIRATION
Inspired by Vesta, the Roman goddess of purity, home and hearth. Her purity of heart and promise of fertility were symbolised in the eternal flames burning in her temples.
Like its inspiration this fragrance has an eternal elegance, appeal and a lightness of touch.
This spicy oud has an intense and slightly earthy woody heart, it is illuminated with incense and amber and the cistus, vanilla tonka and grey amber give it a warm, resinous and balsamic base.
Like the King of Gods, this scent is an unapologetic statement demanding attention.
INSPIRATION
Jupiter, the King of the Gods was revered and feared in equal measures. Highly temperamental, he ruled the heavens armed with the mighty thunderbolt, said to be the most powerful weapon among the gods. He rescued his siblings from death, led the victorious battle of Titans and overthrew his father for the throne.
Like Jupiter, well known for amorous pursuits, this scent is powerful, vigorous and seductive.
Celestial is an oriental woody floral with a heart of frankincense and exotic roses.
Complex, light and very wearable. The spices and frankincense lend a light oriental tone to the aromatic woody base and the triumvirate of roses featuring Bulgarian rose, Indian rose absolut and Turkish rose.
The olibanum at the heart of this scent is a light, lemony incense with a conifer undertone.
It settles into a light warm woody base with colour and complexity. Luminous, like the heavenly bodies that inspired it.
INSPIRATION
The Romans were keen astronomers naming the planets after gods, and such was their belief in the power and influence of the skies over their destiny that they were also keen devotees of astrology. Inspired by the glittering night skies, this fragrance heavenly, divine and fit for the gods.
Inspiration: A peach blossom floating on a crystal-clear stream

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.
AMBER
The first perfume in our collection was conceived as a tribute to the origins of the Frapin family, who settled in the Charente in 1270. This fragrance is a distillation of gourmand pleasures that will turn your skin into a sensuous feast.
Re-orchestrated by Sidonie Lancesseur, its warm-hued palette runs from golden pineapple to candied orange, ambery raisins, purple prunes and russet hazelnuts to the roasted duskiness of cocoa and coffee. Facets of vanilla and smoky guaiac wood evoke an outbreak of vine branches in the fireplace…
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

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. 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.
