“Often depicted in medieval tapestries alongside a young woman in a flowery and fragrant garden, I am an imaginary animal, wild and solitary. My immaculate body is that of a fabulous white horse. I carry on my forehead a single twisted horn neutralizing poison My ivory is sought after because it purifies the waters of its magical power I embody love and mystery I only appear in the light charged with the dynamic energy of my supernatural strength only creative minds can perceive. Can you dream hard enough to see me? Because I’m the animal that never was.” BLANCHE BÊTE is my legend.
In 1270, the famous Frapin family settled in the Charente region of France, but above all, this perfume has become mythical for its sweetness, its honey-like and fruity notes. David Frossard, artistic director of Frapin perfumes, wanted to take another step towards the world of opulence and magnificence. 1270 Extrême plunges us into a world of luxury, roundness and power with its pineapple, vanilla and honey notes, enhanced by precious woods and a superb oriental Tonka Bean, praline and suave to the extreme…
Envelop yourself in a fragrance that’s as daring and irresistible as your liaisons. Secret Tryst is a new, intoxicating perfume for those who crave passion with a sense of adventure.
Wake up your senses to the invigorating notes of bergamot and citrus and submit to sensual cedarwood. Cast your spell with bewitching middle notes of jasmine and the raw, earthy musk of vetiver and frankincense. Beguiling rose adds a touch of racy romance to your dalliances, luring those who wish to succumb with its captivating scent. Arresting, provocative and hopelessly addictive.
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.
In the beginning there’s vanilla, of course, but it’s an unexpected vanilla — subtle, ethereal, as if suspended, with a unique note of honeyed, powdery mimosa. Next comes a vanilla that’s gourmand but not heady, fruity but not baked, poised between a “real” vanilla ice cream and sweet promises that echo like languorous kisses. An unambiguous fragrance trail, conceived like a beckon, arousing the appetite, and casting a spotlight on whoever wears it. Whether your personality is discreet or, to the contrary, completely intense, this perfume is made for those who wish never to go unnoticed again.
“By day, I wear it like a signature: you know I’m there, my perfume identifies me. By night, it envelops me in sweet promises. It fills the space, slips into every corner of the mind — and makes others feel a void when I move away.” And if I’m no longer around and my absence has not yet become overpowering, it must be that I left something behind — a scarf, a jacket, a little bit of myself.”
A sublime union of extreme concentration and extended aging, this iconic creation becomes all the more extraordinary.
With an exceptional 56% perfume oil concentration, Epic 56 revisits the legends of the Silk Road, uncovering a deeper story of the critically-acclaimed Epic Eau de Parfum. After close to five months of aging, the quality of its signature notes – Rose, Spices, Frankincense and Woods – is accentuated by a deeper and more complex ambery construction, leaving a lasting impression on the senses.
What makes EPIC 56 WOMAN an “Exceptional Extrait”?
A fragrance is usually a mix of a concentrate (containing fragrant oils) and an alcoholic base. Some fragrances can also contain a bit of water and additives like liquid UV filters, stabilizers or colourants. Therefore, fragrances with a higher fragrance concentration contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, and vice-versa.
Usually, a higher perfume oil concentration means an increased performance of the fragrance (particularly longer lasting scent) – but the impact of oil concentration is much more complex and varies depending on each formula.

This luxurious amber oriental perfume is sensuous, soft and delightful with a resinous base.
The sparkling and piquant top notes of bergamot, pink pepper and cardamom are a fleeting pleasure, before the sensuous, velvety, buttery, powdery floral and ambergris heart envelops you. The oriental base of caramel, tonka, vanilla and the spicy smoky oud and cedar finally reveal a darker promiscuity. This scent is irresistibly sensuous on the skin and exudes luxury, seduction and charm.
INSPIRATION
The god Mercury was Messenger to the gods, as famous for his quick intellect, guile and charm as for his dark side: he was fickle, untrustworthy, promiscuous and the collector of souls to the underworld. He ruled wealth and fortune; commerce and fertility; science and medicine; and finally storytelling – from writers and poets to rascals and conmen! The most popular of the gods, Mercury was adored for his irresistible charm and wit and the inspiration for this sensuous and seductive scent.

Kilian Hennessy’s Inspiration:
Inspired by the citiy of New York, KILIAN PARIS introduces its new addition to the Liquors olfactive family: Apple Brandy on the Rocks, an olfactive soundtrack to nightlife’s liberation to come. Apple Brandy was first conceived with perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur for the opening of KILIAN PARIS’s New York flagship eight years ago. The fragrance returns, featuring the original apple brandy core but, this time, with an added uplift—KILIAN PARIS’s signature “on the rocks” accord blended into the opening for an ice-cold liquored delight expressing a uniquely KILIAN PARIS character. A blend of bergamot, apple brandy and cardamon, the accord cools down the original, adding excitement and modernity.
The Perfume:
This fresh opening of Apple Brandy on the Rocks unfolds into the perfume’s core personality: a distinctive apple brandy accord, in which a crisp fruity blend harmonizes with brandy—recreated using notes of rum for the liquor aspect, moss and vanilla. Upon a core structure of cedarwood and ambroxan, the scent carries sophistication into the night. It captures the constant reincarnation and incontestable elegance of the ‘Big Apple’—most especially that of its legendary nightlife.
Perfume notes: Bergamot, Apple Brandy and Cardamon
With this reinterpretation, the two creators offer a dive into the most sensual character of B683, an immersion at the heart of this perfume and its signature: the warmth and the depth of a woody-leathery accord. Here, it gains another intensity to become an authentic “patchouli leather.” Around that, other notes of the composition sublimate the different facets of this matter with tactile sensuality. Pepper and cumin offer the vibration of their spicy accents, the oud wood enhances the density of then accord while the vanilla brightens it with a caressing roundness…
