Bonne Chauffe, what an unusual name for a perfume. But when you realize that it refers to the second distillation in alembics of Frapin cognac, which has been produced by hand since 1270, everything becomes clearer. With this in mind, Frapin has created a powerful fragrance inspired by the blaze of embers.
After a rich, fruity-woody opening, notes of burnt bark swirl upward, leading to a liquorice accord of ripe black plum, followed by patchouli, tonka, benzoin and Virginia cedar. Naturally evoking the intimacy of a fireside evening, this fragrance warms the heart and soul.
A favorite for fans of woody compositions with opulent smoky notes.
Top Notes: Davana, Black Pepper

Crafted for Lovers, this aromatic aphrodisiac reflects the unadulterated bliss of romantic interludes and shared pleasure. Passion fruit penetrates the pause, colluding with juicy plum and fiery ginger before acclimatising into an intimate clinch of jasmine and saffron. Classic rose caresses the skin, leaving the faintest fragrant trace of its fragile petals behind. Temperatures soar as cashmeran woods and milky sandalwood envelop in their embrace. Reassuringly sensual, gratifyingly decadent – a softly seductive and potent warm woody fragrance that settles on the skin like the golden glow of new unions.
Powerful yet not overpowering, UNUE possesses all the attributes of an afterglow, a floral-woody expression in sandalwood and musks that ensure a sensual presence! Notes of Italian bergamot, Egyptian jasmine and ylang-ylang immediately set the tone and show their colors! Radiant and as graceful as a white flower, the top note conjures a floral-white that seems traversed by a ray of light. At its heart lies a fruity accord. A restrained touch of plum and pineapple blend with a duo of Pink Berries and Anise. To underscore the almost carnal, woody density of its dry-down, the perfumer weaves a backdrop of musks and comforting, silky and milky sandalwood that becomes one with the skin. A trail that makes itself known with finesse and elegance.
PARAGON, goes beyond the skin all the way to the soul and leads you to another dimension : plenitude.
PARAGON houses the botanical soul of Palo Santo and white Sage. It draws in the beneficial properties of these sacred plants, whose use has been secretly passed down through initiation ceremonies dating back to the first lines of Inca shamans.
PARAGON is a vibrant and faceted scent. Pairing the soothing influence of Bergamot and Lavender with the force of Pepper, stimulating the mind and opening the heart.
This delightful woody amber enters with a fresh and elegant cardamom, lightly laced with plum and pomegranate before opening into a heart of Egyptian jasmine, a fresh, aromatic, clean patchouli and a tint of rose. The light woods of sandalwood and cedar combined with a light musk and amber notes make this a light, sensuous and very versatile scent.
INSPIRATION
The fresh faced natural beauty of Persephone was free from artifice or evil, her sweet nature and purity of soul was adored by gods, goddesses and humankind. Her playground and purpose was nature, symbolic of spring and summer, she was associated with flowers, harvest, fruit, grain and the beauty and bounty of nature.
This perfume was created with Patchouli of the Underworld as a pair. Two perfumers explore the central note of Patchouli through two lenses of the same story: that of Pluto and his Queen Persephone.
PERFUMERS NOTE
“I used patchouli heart which is a cleaner patchouli note and enriched with musky and ambery textures. On top, I added fresh spicy elements, notably Cardamom from Guatemala. I combined the patchouli character with floral notes of Bulgarian rose. To enhance the fruity part of the rose, I added a note of plum that also goes really well with the warmth of the patchouli. For the floral heart, I used responsibly-sourced jasmine from Egypt for its richness. I added a gourmand twist with honey and a touch of coffee. This is rounded by a creamy facet with sandalwood notes and blond woods. And of course 6 pomegranate seeds.” Christian Provenzano
