Frapin - Checkmate - Genderfree

The story behind this fragrance

Henri Frapin likes to relax on spring Sundays in the garden opposite the house, built in 1702 and situated above the production site. He contemplates this region of forests, rivers and meadows where he was born and which is in his blood. He thinks of the manna of this nectar that the family has been producing since 1889.

His favourite moment is when his son joins him around 11am, when the sun's rays warm this wooded headland above Segonzac.
The chessboard is ready. His son sits down and wordlessly resumes this metaphorical battle, the togetherness with his father in the joys of the game.

The spring breeze brings with it the refreshing scents of the surrounding groves. The sun warms the citrus fruits ripening in the terracotta pot on the table, while the irises and heliotropes along the path to the platform shed their dew and open up to fill the air with their scents. Henri serves his son his traditional cardamom tea, a spice that shares its origins with this age-old game.

Both players try to checkmate each other and at the same time delay the moment in order to prolong these special moments, this bridge between two generations, this bond of fatherly love that will unite them forever……
