Until the day when God will condescend to reveal the future to mortals, all human wisdom will lie in these two words: wait and hope!

"The Count of Monte Cristo" is a literary masterpiece that sums up the French spirit: a competitive game of love, ambition, betrayal and friendship with pain, sorrow and, of course, revenge. Hardly anyone is unfamiliar with this epic of retribution, but its morality is much less well known and at times enigmatic. The hero declares at the end of the book: human wisdom can be summed up in these two words: Attendre et espérer (wait and hope].

The House of Frapin pays tribute to this embodiment of elegance, strength, intelligence and mysticism that the protagonist Edmond Dantès represents. It gives an olfactory interpretation to this movement, influenced by Taoism and Christian hope, through a highly original walnut vetiver accord.

The freshness of the vetiver is resolutely turned towards the future, while the telluric wisdom is carried by the protective figure of the black walnut. A dandy fragrance full of philosophy and mystery.
