Leathery and vegetal osmanthus with moist and mysterious woody notes
The experience: discovering osmanthus flowers on a tropical mountain shrouded in mist.

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.

A return to the roots in Grasse, where dreams become perfume.
Le Temps des Rêves is a wander through these landscapes of a thousand bitter orange trees, where Annick Goutal began her training in the art of perfumery.
It distils the soft, comfortable and Mediterranean scent of orange blossom tinged with garrigue. Like a reverie that takes us back to the origins of perfume.
Between the sea and volcanoes, the wind sweeps across the Korean island of Jeju. You can almost kiss the sky at the summit of this land of fire and air. The soft green of tea plantations. The sea, a deep, deep blue. The shade of the mandarin trees. The breeze carries their scents, in an ever-changing order, and diffuses a soothing fragrance of well-being throughout the island.
Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises

The Japanese garden is still asleep. At 10 o’clock, time stands still. A storm breaks out and the plants gather new strength. The air grows warmer, as the scent of gardenias and white flowers dotted with raindrops hangs in the mist.
