P. Frapin & Cie - Australia
A Legacy of Artisanal Craftsmanship
Since 1270, P. Frapin & Cie has been a family-owned producer of some of the world’s finest Cognacs. Based in the renowned Grande Champagne region of France, the brand has refined its craft over centuries, combining traditional methods with a deep appreciation for the land and its products. Frapin’s legacy is rooted in a commitment to quality, ensuring that each Cognac and fragrance embodies the essence of time-honoured techniques.
The Intersection of Cognac and Perfumery
Frapin’s expertise in Cognac-making beautifully intersects with the art of perfumery, creating a unique range of fragrances that evoke the same rich sensory experience as their legendary spirits. Just as Cognac is defined by the interplay of grapes and oak barrels, Frapin fragrances draw on a rich palette of notes, including dried fruit, flowers, spices, wood, and vanilla. These elements, common to both Cognac and perfume, are chosen to flatter the senses—whether they’re gracing the palate or adorning the skin.
Each Frapin fragrance is crafted on a small scale to preserve its exceptional quality. Bottled with care, each scent is topped with a beechwood cap sculpted by a master craftsman, a subtle homage to the wooden casks used in the maturation of Cognac. This craftsmanship reflects Frapin’s dedication to producing both Cognac and fragrance with the same level of artistry and attention to detail.
A Sensory Journey Through Frapin Fragrances
Frapin’s fragrances are designed to evoke the pleasure of tasting fine spirits, and each bottle offers a unique sensory journey. Begin with 1270, the flagship scent that captures the essence of a perfect Cognac. This fragrance is a celebration of tropical fruits and candied citrus peels, enveloped in a warm, amber glow that mirrors the rich, complex aromas found in a snifter of the brand’s world-famous Cognac.
Next, experience L'Humaniste, a refreshing fragrance that takes inspiration from the lively notes of a gin and tonic. This scent is brightened by aromatic herbs and an effervescent quality, offering a crisp, invigorating experience akin to the refreshing sensation of a well-crafted cocktail.
For a more complex and bold option, The Orchid Man is a perfect choice. This fragrance combines classic masculine notes of amber, patchouli, and citrus with a twist, creating a distinctive scent profile that is both sweet and sour. The result is a universally appealing fragrance with a touch of sophistication and charm.
For those seeking something unexpected, Speakeasy offers a daring combination of rum, Mojito, and an exotic dose of Havana tobacco and rose. This unique blend transports the wearer to a speakeasy of the past, blending the sweetness of rum with the aromatic intrigue of tobacco and rose for a truly distinctive scent.
A Tradition of Excellence and Innovation
P. Frapin & Cie remains a brand that honours its 13th-century roots while embracing the future. By creating small-batch fragrances that blend the worlds of Cognac and perfume, Frapin offers an unforgettable sensory experience that delights both the nose and the taste buds. With a keen focus on quality and craftsmanship, Frapin continues to set the standard for luxury in both the world of fine spirits and fragrances.
