Description

"L'Humaniste", or a tribute to the greatest writer of this Renaissance movement: François Rabelais. A cognac house since 1210, Frapin plays on the special link between two prestigious French crafts, constantly creating a dialogue between them and multiplying the echoes between them. In reference to the oracle of the Dive Bouteille, the abundance of gin, mixed with citrus and spicy notes, gives rise to sensuality and emotion. The surprising association of citrus fruits with black pepper, cardamom, nutmeg and tonka translates this fervent desire to see the world differently, to discover it and to open up to other cultures. Green notes such as juniper and thyme mingle with bergamot and peony in delicacy, making the fragrance as invigorating and clear as the curious and open mind of Renaissance scholars, inspired by ancient culture. To learn in order to be free, this is what this fragrance invokes: a new breath of life, with faith in a Man who never stops evolving in contact with the world that precedes and surrounds him.

an old favourite, but happy I could stock up

L'Humaniste is the meeting of three worlds that come together: perfumery, spirits and literature. François Rabelais, himself a member of the Frapin family, is honored in this unisex fragrance, ideal for the fall and winter months. A surprising olfactory journey through three different eras, where citrus fruits mixed with spices bring freshness and lightness.

A round eau de parfum with powerful mandarin. The unexpected olfactory feature? The luminous side brought by the adehydes.

writing Mark Buxton

Again the gin in reference, rounded this time by green and pink accents of peony and the almond and tobacco facets of the gourmet tonka bean. This invigorating and clear skin eau-de-vie, quintessence of the earth and time, celebrates in joy the total, immoderate, excessive pleasure recommended by the Renaissance writer François Rabelais to every man who wanted to be awake and humanistic.

writing Lionel Paillès

"The essence of my work as artistic director of Maison Frapin revolves around the five senses, without the five senses life would have no meaning. In a world of productivity and rationality, the French art of living offers a philosophy of temporality and sensitivity." - David Frossard
