CITRUS
“Isle of Man” is a resolutely masculine fragrance, a celebration of the fearless and intrepid for those who laugh in the face of death-defying odds. It salutes free spirits and adrenaline addicts who know that truly living means pushing boundaries. You’re never more alive than when life is on the line.
Life should be anything but boring. David Frossard, himself a motorcycle aficionado and lover of extreme sports, entrusted this interpretation to perfumer Aliénor Massenet. Her creation boasts a genuine olfactory signature. The citrusy attack followed by salty floral accords conjures up the heady adrenaline rush of ripping down an ocean-beaten coastline.
Top notes: grapefruit, bitter orange, basil
Middle notes: accord of salt, freesia and violet
Bass notes: ironwood, Haitian vetiver, musk
Enter a realm of sophistication with L’Humaniste Extrême by Frapin. This fragrance embodies an optimistic, spicy aromatic fragrance, presenting an energetic scent suitable for both him and her!
This distinctive fragrance, reminiscent of its predecessor, unveils vibrant notes of sparkling bergamot, lemon, pepper, and pink berries. The heart is intensified by a robust, liqueur-like fusion, complemented by quince and a hint of patchouli, offering richness and character. The inclusion of elegant tolu balsam and a charming blend of moss and tonka bean ensures an indelible and timeless essence.

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.
FLORAL
Frapin honours Laskarina’s memory with a perfume of character. After all, she is a truly multi-faceted muse: part wife, mother, businesswoman and adventurer. She was unfettered, fearless, and her own woman – all qualities shared by the great heroines of history and the early feminists. More than just a perfume, Laskarina is a tribute to Womankind.
Amelie Bourgeois rose to the challenge of finding the notes for such a strong-willed perfume. She built a floral, spicy jus, gentle yet feisty, reflecting the paradox of Laskarina. You could say it embodies the iron fist in a velvet glove. Starting off on fresh, sweet notes, it ends on unyielding accords of pepper and amber.
Top notes: Italian bergamot, grapefruit, pink peppercorn, pear sorbet
Middle notes: Tunisian orange blossom, Bulgarian rose
Base notes: frankincense, black pepper, iris, Ambroxan Ambrocenide
CITRUS
The Orchid Man is Frapin’s tenth fragrance. It draws part of its inspiration from the surprising personality of boxer Georges Carpentier, nicknamed in America as “the Orchid Man”.
Frapin was instantly drawn to the life of this legend to tell its new fragrant story.
Boxing, like perfume, is about facing yourself. An encounter of rituals and studied gestures. It is also a moment of violence that must be elegant. Governed by precise rules and respect for the opponent, boxing became a gentleman’s sport at the end of the 19th century.
David Frossard, an expert of the boxing world, took all of this into consideration when he launched the idea for a fresh, elegant, powerful and virile perfume.
Jérôme Epinette, whom he met several years earlier, has been entrusted with the interpretation of this world which is both animal and cerebral.
Top notes : black pepper, bergamot.
Middle notes : leather accord, jasmine petals.
Base notes : patchouli, black amber, oak moss.
Passion Boisée celebrates this long-drawn intimacy. Just as cognac in its cask, the fragrance is embraced by wood: the dry and incisive elegance of cedar and the mossy, almost chocolaty depth of patchouli.
Against this backdrop, some of the most characteristic aromas of cognac conjure an evocative setting. The warm Christmas smell of tangerine spiked with cloves. The burning spices in a glass of rum. The smoothness of a leather armchair or of a jacket worn soft by years of love. A whiff of night-time forest through an open window…
