The story behind this fragrance:

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.
The chessboard stands ready. His son sits and wordlessly resumes this metaphorical battle, the togetherness with his father in the pleasures of the game.

The spring breeze brings with it the refreshing fragrances of the surrounding groves. The sun warms the citrus fruits which ripen in the terracotta pot on the table while the iris and heliotropes which line the path leading to the perron discard their coverings of dew and open up to fill the air with their scents.
Henri serves his son his traditional cardamom tea, a spice which shares its origins with this age-old game.
Both players strive to checkmate the other while at the same time putting off the moment with a view to prolonging these special moments, this bridge between two generations, this
connection of fatherly love which will bond them together forever.

About

Frapin

Timeless, made from only the best materials, tradition, and love for the beautiful and the good.” That’s the tag-line of the Frapin family.

They are mostly known for their cognac, but use their knowledge and tradition to also develop perfumes. It is easy to see that brandy is their inspiration, just look at their manufacturing process, fragrances, and overall look of the perfumes.

The perfume bottles are based upon a bottle of brandy, and the cap is made from beech, which is a reference to the barrels where the brandy matures.

Whether we talk about their cognac or perfumes, they must always be the embodiment of French culture and refinement.

1270, l’Humaniste, The Orchid Man, Bois Blanc, If by RK, Isle of Man, and 1270 Extreme are just a few of the perfumes which are part of the Frapin gamma.

Gold Woman was Sultan Qaboos' gift to queens and princesses around the world.
Upon a heart brimming with precious resins, Florentine Iris and bittersweet Myrrh resplends the original Amouade, a canonical triad of Rockrose, Frankincense and Ambergris.
Its dazzling radiance, speckled with luminous notes of Lily of the Valley and the delicate floralcy of a rare Jasmine from Grasse, iridesces over the unctuous animality of Civet and Musk until it suddenly disappears, eclipsed by a chypré base of Oakmoss and Patchouli.
A fastuous creation, ethereal yet dense in substance, it is the epitome of immoderate luxury in the classical Omani tradition.

Gold Man was Sultan Qaboos' gift to kings and princes around the world.
 The spectacular light of the Lily of the Valley crowns the powdery shades of the Omani Rockrose and shines with the formidable and minty clarity of the Royal Hojari Frankincense.
Myrrh, delirious with warmth, and a pearlescent and indolic white Jasmine stand on an Iris from which emanates a rich, terribly luxurious scent of metallic Irones, violet Ionones and waxy, buttery notes of Cocoa butter.
