The Orchid Man

Known for his ability to reinvent himself, Georges Carpentier was a man of many facets: legendary boxer, rugby player, showman in Hollywood and pioneer of cocktail bars in Paris in the 1930s. Nicknamed ""the man with the orchid"" overseas Atlantic, this elegant character embodies a daring modernity, ready to embrace new adventures at every turn in his life. Carpentier, icon of virile elegance, inspired the Frapin house in the creation of The Orchid Man, a perfume which reflects his charisma and complexity. This perfume, designed by perfumer Jérôme Epinette, is an olfactory interpretation of the pugilistic universe, combining power and refinement. Like boxing, it combines studied gestures with contained violence and elegance in intensity. The fragrance is based around an animal leather accord, evoking the texture of boxing gloves, while patchouli, with its warm and humid facets, recalls the electric atmosphere of a boxing gym. The elegance of jasmine petals brings a floral freshness that contrasts with the strength of the amber accords, highlighting the complex character of Carpentier, both rough and sophisticated.
