The Orchid Man
feminine
Created by Jérôme Epinette
The Orchid Man by Frapin is a Aromatic fragrance for women and men. The Orchid Man was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Jérôme Epinette. Top notes are Bergamot and Black Pepper; middle notes are Leather and Jasmine; base notes are Oakmoss, Patchouli and Amber. The Orchid Man was a nickname of the French boxer Georges Carpentier, who was a multi-talented person. After the boxing ring, he took to the stage. Carpentier the showman went from Paris to Hollywood. He experienced the heights of Wall Street and then its collapse. A modern man who was always ready for new adventures, the Orchid Man opened one of the first cocktail bars in Paris, to great success. Boxing, like perfume, is about facing yourself. An encounter of rituals and studied gestures. It is also a moment of violence that must be elegant.
