THE FRAPIN FOUNDATION
The Frapin family, masters of the art of distillation, have been passing down their cognac expertise for 20 generations, with roots deeply anchored in Charente since 1270. This unique heritage has naturally extended to the creation of perfumes, a field in which Frapin instills the very essence of its origins.
It was during a chance encounter that David Frossard met the Frapin family. Invited to visit their estate, he was immersed in a world where the soul of cognac blends harmoniously with the aromas of the surrounding nature. During this visit, the owner of the estate presented him with a perfume specially designed with ISIPCA, of which Frapin cognac was the main ingredient. Although this fragrance is no longer produced, the sensory experience it offered deeply marked David Frossard , giving him the inspiration to collaborate with the house and give birth to a series of olfactory creations directly inspired by cognac and the Frapin estate.
In order to perpetuate this mastery and perfection typical of French craftsmanship, Frapin has developed a range of perfumes. Drawing its inspiration from the history of the house and its terroir, an association of senses and know-how that highlights traditions and the French art of living.
Frapin has been offering us its vision of olfactory elegance for 20 years. The house develops exceptional perfumes, inspired by the art of living in general. David Frossard, signs the artistic direction of the brand and is inspired by names, places and characters with strong spirits.
The house offers sophisticated compositions, crafted with timeless raw materials and ancestral know-how. Elegant, these perfumes inspire the expression of one's style and singularity. Taking up the codes of classic masculine perfumery, Frapin also knows how to move away from them in order to explore other olfactory facets.
Established in Charente since the 13th century, the family has eminent members, the best known of whom is certainly François Rabelais, to whom the perfume L'Humaniste pays homage. Perfumes that tell the story of male figures but whose notes appeal to both women and men. From Edgar Allan Poe to Rudyard Kipling, from Gustave Eiffel to the Tourist Trophy, let yourself be carried away by these olfactory tales that are at once refined, powerful and distinguished.
THE PERFUMES OF FRAPIN
Wearing a Frapin perfume means embodying a typically "French" refinement, at the crossroads between the man of action and the man of letters. It is the very essence of a complete, sophisticated and subtle man.
With origins dating back to 1270, Frapin is an iconic cognac brand that, through a “stroke of fate,” has been able to transmit the essence of its art into the world of perfumery. This alchemy has seduced not only spirits lovers, but also a new generation of perfume enthusiasts, all fascinated by the authenticity and heritage of the house.
The fragrance of cognac, true to its history, runs through Frapin 's creations. The fragrances oscillate between the sweetness and transparency of pure cognac and the woody and warm notes of oak barrels, offering a deep and complex sensory experience.
Renowned for their unique compositions and exceptional hold on the skin, Frapin perfumes perfectly combine tradition and modernity. The design of the bottles reflects this duality, like the Frapin Jeppelin bottle, whose silhouette flared at the base and narrowed at the top, reminiscent of a bottle stopper, embodies the timeless elegance and nobility specific to the house of Frapin .
In conclusion, Frapin succeeds in combining tradition and innovation by creating perfumes that capture the very essence of its ancestral know-how in distillation. Each fragrance is an invitation to discover a unique olfactory universe, where the history and refinement of cognac blend to offer a unique sensory experience. Frapin is the French art of living, sublimated by the art of perfumery.
