A Cologne Elixir inspired by the Flower Market at Covent Garden which has been immortalised by George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion.
Created by perfumer Bruno Jovanovic, Fanfare is a melodic fantasy with a touch of impertinence exuding the spirit of contemporary British aesthetic.
It opens with a beguiling watery floral and citrus accord, which slowly becomes darker as the structure evolves and becomes more daring with the vermouth accord. Finally, the noble woods bring this dark depth to the structure of the fragrance.
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.
Inspired by the famed Gladiators of Ancient Rome, courageous warriors who dominated and entertained in the Colosseum, Gladiator Oud opens with a powerful and thrilling accord of salty, elemental ambergris. Cardamom combines with the cool of Egyptian geranium for an impression of steel and strength. Hay absolute, Haitian vetiver and cumin seed capture the sun warmed earth of the gladiatorial arena. Oud oil and cedarwood bring nobility and elegance to the battle, with the gold and glory of victory elicited through accords of intense saffron and honey.
Originally created in 1925 and famously worn by Winston Churchill, Town & Country was a shining star of a new era of the Crown Perfumery Company. Today it is reimagined with the Clive Christian hallmarks of complexity, concentration and dedication to the finest ingredients – perfectly crafted for self expression. Crisp with refreshing notes from the most elegant of herbs resting on a deeper base. Capturing the natural beauty of the countryside and the elegance of London town.
Jupiter’s immense satellite has not only inspired our perfume’s name, but is also known to be full of craters and to have an underground ocean vaster than all of earth’s oceans put together. The perfume’s creators, Marc-Antoine Barrois and Quentin Bisch, have imagined it here in a world with an atmosphere brimming with aromatics that it becomes combustible: its sky is gleaming with the sour spike of mandarin and the holy fumaroles of incense and myrrh. It’s a planet covered with warm velvet dunes where the spicy and caramelized everlasting flower is preponderant. The fiery heart of this fragrance reminds us that the gods gave Ganymede eternal life so that his beauty would never fade. Is it the smoldering skin hidden underneath the wild leather? This precious perfume extract is as much a sophisticated perfume as a carnal one.
Ganymede EXTRAIT unfolds in its dizzying trail the seduction of great Classics.
The sound of the waves from far away. The wind is sweeping a field of everlasting flowers. The sun takes out its right and heats the spicy, almost syrupy scent of these yellow flowers. The waves are caressing the dune.
The wind picks up the sand into warm, leathery, heady gusts- incense, myrrhe? Grains of sand are twirling, incandescent. The rock is flushing, the Akigalawood and Mandarin bring minerals and freshness. The air becomes… captivating.
The fragrances of the Maison MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS are the result of the meeting of two young designers. One is a couturier, the other a perfumer. Their childhood memories brought them together. Remembering captivating smells; of the leather from an elegant attaché case or an immaculate desk blotter; of the distinct smells of wood during the regular gatherring, or of fuel to warm the family home. The artistic skills of the former and the olfactory talent of the latter together sparked the magic of these beautiful fragrances.
Opening with sparkling notes of lime and mandarin tempered with pink pepper and a green accord, delicate cherry blossom with soft almond aromas enhanced with powdery violets and creamy vanilla. Elusive elegance, realising the power of subtlety, radiating an inner confidence – to be worn with an innate love of understated good taste.
724 is now offered in precious elixir concentrated size, housed in a new jewel-like set. Its glass ball rolls over the skin to delicately place in the hollow of the neck, the wrist and the décolleté, its precious drops of elixir.
