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.

L'Humaniste   A breathtakingly fresh and civilised cologne by the great cognac makers and conoisseurs, Frapin et Cie who are proud to count the great sixteenth century writer and Humanist, Francois Rabelais,among their ancestors in a family tree dating back to 1270.

Created by Robertet, L'HUMANISTE symbolises the true spirit of Humanism - celebrating the notion of tolerance, independence, freedom, quality and equality above vulgar consumerism.As befits the Frapin status as cognac suppliers of disctinction, L'HUMANISTE has a definitely alchoholic tang with gin and juniper in the top notes, blended with lemon, tonka, bergamot and thyme. Crisp, bracing and jolly good fun. 		L'Humaniste
