Close your eyes,
Smell and feel a new way of sensations,
Experience the power of scent therapy…
Natural white sandalwood blended with an overdose of white and pink musk creates an ultra-addictive milky and velvety accord.
The white magnolia activates the pleasure receptor while the cassis stimulates the energy, releasing a supplement of eroticism.
MUSK THERAPY, a magical mood enhancer, paves the way to relaxation and a state of well-being.
Finally, a delightful alternative to artificial paradises and their illicit substances.
Neck still damp after the last gallop, wild-eyed and ears pointing forwards, it walks, nostrils flaring and chest heaving, towards the stables. I brush my hand along its mane, along its shoulder. It is hot and bold. Touching my nose, its ethereal and suave looks conceal the grace and gentleness within.
Delicate yet fiery, abstract yet dazzling, the scent of the animal skin is enveloping. It is the smell of a stallion after its gallop, of its hot, animal sweat to be tamed before it soak sup. A wild, natural perfume.
BELLE BÊTE is a wild and passionate encounter between the beast and its loving prey. A feline beauty emanates from its claws in a spiced and powdery olfactory attack before enveloping the human body in its soft fur and animal heat. A perfume between softness and animalistic vigour. A perfume between tension and sensuality.
Les Eaux Arborantes (The ARBOREAL WATERS) are a sacred tribute to trees, to the wild, to both plant and animal life.
SUCUS
The spirit of the treetop. The airy and solar scent of the treetops, the seduction of its living and radiating flowers ensuring its reproduction. From this canopy, its perfume is unfurled and spreads sensually in the hot wind.
Its spirit: the spirit of the border between the material and immaterial worlds, between leaf and air, freedom and dream, desire and exterior beauty.
A perfume in flight.
Les Eaux Arborantes (The ARBOREAL WATERS) are a sacred tribute to trees, to the wild, to both plant and animal life.
The spirit of sap
Scents emanating from inside the tree, just under its bark, from its resinous and camphorated vegetal nectar which ensures its growth. An intense perfume that sweeps us along by the momentum of its organic energy.
Its spirit: the bubbling vigour of life, the will to live, to jump up, rise, the vital energy of the ambition to grow.
An energetic perfume.

TELLUS
-The spirit of the earth-
Nose in the soil, buried in the undergrowth, stirring smells of roots and fungus. Damp soil scented with wilted flowers, burrowing animals and changing seasons. Planted deep within Mother Earth, the tree draws its strength from the nutrient-providing decaying matter of humus.
Its spirit: a deep spirit, with strong, solid roots, the telluric force without which nothing grows.
A terrestrial perfume.
Seductive incense entangled with vegetal roots. Ardent woods set boldly aflame. Resinous depth illuminated by beetroot brights.
A ceremonial clash of contrasts. A radical revelation of blazing harmonies.
BRIGHT: Crushed clusters of spicy sweet pink peppercorns. The enlightening intensity of Indonesian ginger. A luminous layer.
FRESH: Earthen emissions from fresh sliced beetroot. Egyptian Geranium leaves, minty and metallic. Grounded wonder.
DEEP: The resinous romance of sticky incense. Woody patchouli dosed with the aromatic amber of cistus. A sacred sensuality.
Through deliberate overdose and rapturous expression, ROUGE presents an unexpected unison. An olfactive congregation of desire.
The archetypal associations of the colour ROUGE seen and subverted through the distinctly disruptive gaze of Comme des Garçons.
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.
ROSE MILLESIMÉE, a different kind of rose.
The embodiment of the confidential nature of the Centifolia Rose (also known as the May or cabbage rose), ROSE MILLESIMÉE is an olfactory metaphor for a moment frozen in time, the reflection of a story, a region and a tradition of craftsmanship. In homage to the Centifolia Rose, this absolute hangs back yet asserts its exceptional character. In Vanina Muracciole’s interpretation of the Rose Centifolia, attention to detail meets a quest for the sublime.
“ For years now, I’ve wanted to reproduce the Centifolia rose without artifice, without a dominant synthetic environment that would make the note consensual. It was about conserving the flower’s natural properties and suggesting comfort.”
To the Grasse region’s native blossom, Vanina Muracciole has added a dash of spices, candied apples, essence of Bulgarian rose and white musc to create a “powerful and carnal soliflore.”
The fruit of nature’s whims and unrivaled, nuanced soil, it tinges each vintage with its signature and patina.

Citrusy, Gourmand
Blue and green notes of Spearmint and Cardamom Oils transcend the fragrance stages, giving it a freshness that lasts forever, while the pleasantly surprising Amber, Labdanum, Cinnamon Oil and Saffiano together with earthy Vetiver capture the surrounding hot mountains at that precise moment in time.
Drawing inspiration from the Sultanate’s southernmost Governorate during the monsoon (Khareef) season, Amouage creatively translated the surreal fog using Frankincense and smoky Vetiver, the rich greens with Cypriol and Jonquille, while its caramel-coloured mud is brought to life with earthy Sandalwood, Carrot Heart and Orris root notes.
Delicately scented and foaming, this nectar shower oil gently awakens the skin and revives the notes of your perfume.
Its fresh and invigorating notes offer you a real moment of relaxation and fragrant pleasure at bath time.
Massage gently the Huile Nectar under the shower on wet skin. In contact with water, the oil transforms into a delicate foam to nicely clean the skin. Rinse and dry. Each day, your skin is soft, protected and deliciously perfumed.
The burning sun and the blinding light of Tuscany add to the charm of the cypress-lined terraces. The hottest hour of the day is the best time to sink into the soft shade of the lemon trees and reread a few passages from Memoirs of Hadrian.
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.
