Warm, rich, exotic, intense, spicy dramatic notes, often based on amber, vanilla, incense with florid floral top notes. Fresh, floral, sometimes herbal/mossy scents dominated by leafy, grassy, crisp notes. Lemon, bergamot, neroli, petitgrain, tangerine, grapefruit, cedar, syringe and lime. Reviving and refreshing. Rich, dark, smoky, deep, spicy notes usually intensified or contrasted with green, floral or animalic oils. Bouquets of flowers - tuberose, roses, lily, jasmine, lilac, muguet, ylang-ylang, violets, orange blossom etc. Fresh, sweet, feminine. Mostly florals and greens enlivened with notes of soft sweet fruits - peach, apricot, plum, pineapple, prune, and raspberry. Literally "from Cyprus". Longlasting, warm, mossy, soft dark scents. Very sophisticated, urban, couture and elegant. Usually chypres feature sharp, green top notes which soften to bases of oakmoss, amber, leather, vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood. Full-bodied, green, dark, aromatic notes of cedar, sandal, juniper, birchwood, rosewood, ebony, patchouli, oak-moss, lavender, clary sage. Entirely synthetic and quirky modern sub-group which uses a variety of chemicals (e.g. calene) to introduce a suggestion of the sea, lakes, rivers and streams to the top and middle notes of a perfume. As innovative and ingenious as the introduction of aldehydes in the early 1920's.
  
Fragrance  <<   P.Frapin et Cie -

P.Frapin et Cie -   Beautiful France has offered many lovely gifts to Mankind: two of the best must be perfume and cognac, both synonomous with pleasure, luxury, culture and well-being. They connect in so many ways in the manner in which they are produced: the climate, the soil, the cultivation of the precious products. Both also require distillation, that magical alchemic process discovered by the Arabs in 800 AD.

LES SENTEURS presents a sensational new range of fragrances which combines these two classic traditions, the seven lovely perfumes from the famous Frapin family, masters of the Chateau de Fontpinot and its vineyards for 800 years. Fontpinot lies in Champagne, that legendary province where the rich earth feeds the luscious grape harvest, and the countryside is redolent of rich woody, fruity scents all of which the Grands Nez from 'Robertet' and Jeanne-Marie Faugier have used as their inspiration for this most exciting and cultivated collection.

The concept is audacious but classic, highly original and the work of great masters with imagination, integrity, and above all, heart.
