A sophisticated fragrance that exudes true confidence, French Defense takes control in a tantalizing scent of succulent black cherry, seductive notes of smooth liqueurs, and a bed of velvety woods and ambers. Soft florals are woven throughout the composition bringing a quiet grace and natural beauty to its structure. Completely captivating, French Defense rises to every occasion, with a scent that sets the tone for success.
A vibrant and sophisticated homage to vintage aldehydic florals, the original Dia Woman Eau de Parfum makes a distinctive statement on the beguiling, timeless mystique of femininity. With a 40% concentration, Dia 40 Woman Extrait is the new delicate, yet undeniably lavish and generous incarnation of Amouage’s icon. A fragrance of grace and nobility, Dia 40 elegantly balances its many layers to conjure a sense of passing time in three acts: sunrise, zenith, and sunset.
What makes Dia 40 Woman an “Exceptional Extraits”?
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.

Inspired by the citiy of Paris, KILIAN PARIS introduces its new addition to the Liquors olfactive family: L’Heure Verte, an olfactive soundtrack to nightlife’s liberation to come. L’Heure Verte is named after the traditional French equivalent of ‘Happy Hour’, that early evening window of time when absinthe was served upon sugar into a glass and swirled with a spoon in a slow-paced ritual. The liquid turns pastel green; this hue reappears in L’Heure Verte’s own perfume elixir, an entirely naturally derived color: tender like a Parisian haze, or a Van Gogh painting come to life.
The Perfume:
Absinthe essence opens L’Heure Verte with an instant head twist into a nostalgic heart of violet leaf and licorice root absolute. Its dry-down articulates a unique and precisely chosen facet of patchouli that resonates throughout, and blends into a trio of earthy woods along with vetiver and sandalwood. A first-time collaboration between Founder Kilian Hennessy and French perfumer Mathieu Nardin, L’Heure Verte expresses Paris at its best—indulgent and life-changing in its luxuries and wonderful illusions.
Perfume notes:
Absinthe, Violet Leaf and Patchouli
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…

On the skin, B683 EXTRAIT marries the one who wears it as a double that underlines its presence.
Ultimate Rose is not a true single flower but a unique and complex scent using the finest rose essences combined with beautiful notes of eastern neroli and orange flower to impart an oriental touch. Lingering in the background; a woody, amber accord to give it sensuality and mystery so that you can ultimately fall in love with this unique combination.
Incorporates top notes of Sicilian Bergamot, Baies Rose, Cassis, together with a warm and sensual note of Rose de Mai, Orris, and Violet leave. The base of Cypriol, Indian sandalwood, Tonka beans, Vanilla, and Amber add a sweet and powdery woody character.
Floral Citrus Ambery
“I like observing flowers bloom, expand and exhale their last breaths. I can say that just like some people are bird watchers. I am a bloom watcher. My love for flowers is infinite, as I’m a botanist and I am Mexican (in my country, we love flowers way too much!) So for this symphonic floral perfume, I blissfully orchestrated my floral parts and pieces thinking of the natural life cycle of a flower: from the closed bud to its eclosion, its magnificent turgescence, its nocturnal exhalations, its languid fading away… and then the petals landing softly on the ground, exhausted but still redolent.
A very specific tuberose extract paired with a new quality of jasmine from Southern China provided the heart for this scent and the palpitations come from fine citrus essences and natural leafy accents. And just at the end, a hint of humanity appears, as an ambery, warm oriental accord works as a pedestal for this multifloral beauty.”
This new perfume is a tribute to the seductive souls who each have their own rituals of preparation. The slow, measured method of dressing. The make up, the rice powder… these are all a prelude to seduction. And even if their gestures are different and their secrets proper, they all share a common ritual: their ‘final touch’ is the application of perfume.
Touche Finale is a reinterpretation of a perfume that has already left it’s mark in the history of the rebirth of Jovoy: 2006’s renowned Poudré.
After more than two years of work, the independent perfumer, Vanina Muracciole has managed to preserve the soul of the original Poudré, whilst exalting it, in this new, ultimate version.
At Frapin, we work and live far from the major cities. Our personal and professional lives follow the circadian rhythm of days and nights, the changing of the seasons, the wind blowing in the trees.
This closeness to nature sustains us more than one might think. We model nature and are modelled by it, surrounded as we are by meadows, vines, rivers and woods.
This proximity is the hallmark of our style, our essence, our elegance. We admire wood, work it, drink it and smell it. This wood is our age-old wisdom. We listen to its lessons and secrets. Its verticality shows us the only way forward, that of ascending. It is at times hot, enveloping, aromatic or deep. It strongly underscores our style; that of Bois Blanc.
