Inspiration from Kilian Hennessy: A gourmet pleasure reserved for adults, the iconic Love, don’t be shy is taken to its EXTREME with an overdose of Bulgarian rose.
The Scent: From the olfactory family of Narcotic Flowers, Love, don’t be shy – EXTREME is such an addicting pleasure that sensitive souls are urged to refrain. A variation that underlines the original version, Love, don’t be shy, with a sublime crystallized floral aspect. Orange blossom and rose overdose make up a luminous elixir that no gourmet can resist. Its rose petals are hand-picked at dawn to capture the scent in all its intensity – an artisan detail that reaches the subconscious.
The Love, don’t be shy EXTREME fragrance is part of the KILIAN PARIS Narcotic Flowers family of fragrances.
Great care is taken in each KILIAN PARIS perfume bottle, to make them real precious objects. The white and gold perfume bottles of the narcotic flower family are adorned with a white lacquer and meticulously engraved on each side, with a motif interweaving door, snake, vine and apple – the symbols of original sin – allusion to fate. As Kilian Hennessy points out: “In perfumery, it is as much about seduction as it is about protection”. A golden metal plate on which is hand-engraved the name of the perfume brings an additional touch of sophistication.
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.
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.
