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.

nose reviews

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.

perfume reviews

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

journalist opinion

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.

Frapin

Since 1270, the Frapin house refines its production methods of cognac by mastering each single step. Frapin fragrances have been designed to perpetuate tradition and to emphasize the complicity between two exceptional know-hows, both related to the tradition of French luxury as well to the soil and to the history of the country.
