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.

Henri Frapin likes to relax on these springtime Sundays in the garden opposite the property, built in 1702 and located above the production site. He contemplates this region made up of woodland, rivers and pastures where he was born and which is in his blood. He considers the manna provided by this nectar that the family has produced since 1889. His favourite time is when his son joins him at around 11am when the sun’s rays warm up this headland of forest above Segonzac.
“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.
Until the day when God deigns to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom will be in these two words: Wait and hope!
The Count of Monte Cristo, literary masterpiece, sums up in itself the French spirit, where love, ambition, betrayal, and friendship, confront pain, pain and of course revenge… Everyone knows this vengeful epic, but its moral is much less known and partly more enigmatic… Our hero declaring in conclusion: “All human wisdom can be summed up in these two words: Wait and hope”.
Maison Frapin thus pays homage to this incarnation of elegance, strength, intelligence and mystery that is Edmond Dantes. Through a very original walnut and vetiver accord, it olfactorily interprets this expectation marked by Taoism and this Christian hope. The freshness of the vetiver being resolutely turned towards the future while the telluric wisdom, is it, carried by the tutelary figure of the black walnut. A dandy fragrance, imbued with philosophy and mystery.
