4000 metres above sea level, with its snowy glaciers and pristine lakes, rivers gush through deep Himalayan valleys, densely forested with majestic towering Deodar trees. At this high altitude, the Valley of Kashmir presents a uniquely breath-taking terrain. Home to a diverse array of plants, meadows are blanketed with wild, rare blue poppies and Kashmiri saffron each summer.
Kashmir by Ormonde Jayne is not without considerable allure. The emphasis of this woody hypnotic scent is Deodar, from the cedar wood family and a soft dreamy sandalwood, underscored with iris, rose, jasmine, cashmeran, vanilla and a caress of musk to fix this pervasive perfume.
Spice D’Arno by Celine Barel
“Comforting and soothing spices flowing with the rhythm of the Arno river.”
Soothing, flowing, comforting
Spice D’Arno is a rhythmical composition which moves like the flow of the river for which it is named. Opening with the invigorating tones of bergamot, lemon and pink pepper, Spice D’Arno evokes the lively energy of a new adventure about to begin. The scent gently meanders its way into a sophisticated heart bursting with thyme and cistus, softened with a comforting and soothing bran absolute. The cistus pays homage to the tenacity of the Roman adventurers, adding a floral, sweet and woody tone to the warmth of bran and the leathery savoury aspect of thyme.
In the base of Spice D’Arno a ribbon of sweetness comes in the form of excitingly resinous vanilla which is warm and embracing. This is strengthened and supported by a leathery feel. A discrete yet mighty oud facet completes the composition, lending power and weight to the fragrance and ensuring the lasting power to stay the course.
INSPIRATION
The Arno river was one of Italy’s most important waterways in Roman times. The flow of the river brought with it new ideas as well as trade, goods and movement of the population. In Spice D’Arno we celebrate the new horizons that the Romans pioneered and the trade routes they established which allowed them to move goods and ideas across the Empire. Some of the commodities the Romans transported included spices, leathers and woods, all of which can be found in this soothing composition which flows with the eternal energy of this mighty river.

Henri Frapin likes to relax on these springtime Sundays in the garden opposite the property, built in 1702 and located above the production site. He contemplates this region made up of woodland, rivers and pastures where he was born and which is in his blood. He considers the manna provided by this nectar that the family has produced since 1889. His favourite time is when his son joins him at around 11am when the sun’s rays warm up this headland of forest above Segonzac.
