Frustration, the eldest daughter of renunciation and the sister of perfume, since perfume proceeds like frustration in the game of love.

  It gives by taking up, a fullness never satisfied, an enjoyment started but never achieved, an infinite movement of desire without completion, without apotheosis, an instillation that excites, seduces, lulls, dominates and annoys like a Bolero by Ravel. Frustration.

  So take a vanilla bean, a garden rose with swollen red petals, some old rum exploding with amber woods, a bourbon vetiver, bring each of these materials to your senses. Frustration.

  Breathe, taste the circulation of the unheard of beans, delectable fermentation but never enough, where one asks for more, all nostrils out, ... "More, more, let us take your redness deeper, and become this animal with the dull mind of the child who wants to enjoy and devour even more this chestnut wood, this cinnamon or this vetiver until bursting, and then to bathe satiated in the poetry of the smell." Frustration.

  This is the love game of perfume, this is the game of love according to Musset, Shakespeare or Racine. And it is so much the better because satisfaction kills whereas desire makes you live by creating movement through the ever renewed distance, so as to never consume like a homicidal ogre. Frustration.

  Happy are the consumers of desire, unhappy the consumers of enjoyment.

  Frustration, a perfume to awaken the strong child in the fragile adult or the fragile child in the too-strong adult, a perfume for a regressive journey to the dominion of vanilla, rum and vetiver.

A fragrance that was inspired by the surprising personality and career of boxer Georges Carpentier in the early 30s. Known for his ability to reinvent himself, he was a boxer, a rugby man, became a showman in Hollywood and even opened one of the first cocktail bars in Paris. Boxing like perfume is an encounter of rituals and studied gestures. A moment of violence that must be elegant. A fresh, elegant and powerful interpretation of this animal and cerebral world by Jérôme Epinette.

In the Tarot, the Star represents a woman pouring liquid, the water of life, from a silver pitcher into a gold pitcher. The silver pitcher represents the material world; the gold - the spiritual one. In alchemy, the energetic forces that animate the world are contained within the different metals. The Sun governs gold, the precious metal above all others, which symbolizes perfection, the goal to be attained, an image of a new life. In the final transmutation, my gold transforms you, regenerates you with the brilliance of its warm light, its purity, and turns you into a precious, solar being. From my yellow nugget in its uncut state, I melt and pour into an intense ingot that’s 99.9% pure gold, into sacred, royal objects, jeweler and ornaments. I am a coveted, ambivalent treasure.

IV – II
RAY-FLECTION
Un fiore alieno, scaldato dalla luce che lui stesso irradiava, sciogliendosi diventava miele

Act IV Scene II

A dream. A flower, with an incredibly intense smell. And huge, humongous. Not a normal flower, one that you can find on earth. This flower was emitting a surprisingly bright light. As the time passed by, and the light grew even more dazzling, the flower starts melting, dripping like honey from a rich and mellow honeycomb.

“For this new chapter of the collection, we decided to create an “alien flower”, a floral perfume that has never been smelled before.”

Adrenalinic. Bold, elegant and sophisticated, this fragrance diffuses a halo of evanescent mysteriousness before gradually revealing itself in a bewitching blaze of olfactory notes. It begins with the sinuous, enveloping Whisky that blends, with its warm, golden nuances, with the intense aroma of coffee. A brilliant combination of spicy notes and noble woods adds body and character while Bergamot and green Galbanum give a touch of freshness. A choice of ingredients with forbidden scents. A gamble in daring. A masterfully played hand that has resulted in a unique and fascinating creation.

An explosive debut of Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain and Ginger, soaked in Golden Rum, blends with the intoxicating warmth of Cardamom and the sensuality of Jasmine, Labdanum and Chocolate Flower. Demerara sugar and Sandalwood bring greedy and intriguing touches to a languid background of Vanilla, Patchouli and Guaiac Wood, which enhance the magnetic aspect of Musk. Wild and intimate at the same time.

SMILE is our addictive happiness fragrance.

SMILE is a new fragrance inspired by the pursuit of joy and born out of a unique family connection.

Many years ago, as a young girl, Akro founder Anaïs Cresp asked her father, the master perfumer Olivier Cresp, to create a perfume just for her, one that nobody else in the world would have.

Olivier set about creating a scent that was as powerful as it was personal—a bottle full of joy for his daughter to carry through life. To do this, he combined notes of sage, bergamot, and raspberry, building a bright and vivid fragrance that could work at any time and any place. For years, Anaïs kept this scent to herself, but now she wants to share it with the world.

SMILE is a fragrance to brighten your day.

Fragrance Notes: 

• Top Notes: Sage, Bergamot
• Heart Notes: Natural Raspberry
• Base Notes: Musk

Anamcara is an exceptional Fruity-Floral-Woody composition based on precious natural ingredients.

Extrait de Parfum

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.

Fragrance Notes: 

• Top: Essence of bitter orange, Essence of mandarin, Essence of eucalyptus, Essence of rosemary, Essence of ginger
• Heart: Essence of sage, Essence of Virginian cedar wood, Essence of violet Leaf
• Base: Ambroxan, Essence of Guaiac wood, Essence of cade wood

Olfactory Description: Woody, Aromatic / Dry Wood 

Until the day when God will deign to reveal to mortals the future, all human wisdom will reside in these two words: Wait and hope!

The Earl of Monte Cristo is a literary masterpiece that sums up the French spirit, where love, ambition, betrayal, and friendship compete with pain, sorrow, and of course 
revenge. No one is unaware of this retributive epic, but its moral is much less known and partly more enigmatic. Our hero is declaring as a conclusion of the book: Human
wisdom can be summed up in these two words: “Wait and hope”.

The house Frapin pays tribute to this embodiment of elegance, strength, intelligence, and mystery that is Edmond Dantes, by olfactory interpreting this sentence marked by Taoism and Christian hope, through a very original walnut–vetiver accord. The freshness of vetiver is resolutely turned to the future while the telluric wisdom is carried by the protective figure of black walnut. A dandy fragrance, full of philosophy and mystery.
