P Frapin & Cie The Orchid Man 100ml

Georges Carpentier was called the Orchid Man, a French boxer in the twenties who wore evening dress to weigh-ins.

Boxing and perfume are both about ritual and studied gesture, and both are moments of violence that have to be elegant. That is the whole idea here and Frapin execute it without a wink.

Leather, precision, and something floral running under it. The most stylish thing the house makes.
