1889… Time stood still in the temporary glass palaces of the Paris World Exhibition. The pavilions, with their iron lace backing, celebrated booming industry and Art Nouveau. It was against this exciting backdrop that Frapin cognacs were awarded for their excellence.
Inspired by Art Nouveau, Paradis Perdu is an ode to the vineyards surrounding the Frapin estate. Perfumer Amélie Bourgeois drew inspiration from the vastness of the land, creating a fizz with curved lines that are somewhere between gushing and enveloping.
First, there is a hint of sap, the new Eve in this Garden of Eden. It rises from the soil in the rustling of vetiver roots. The intertwining shoots of the grapevine, a sign of long-lasting freshness, the sap changes color from bright green to dark green.
Basil, with its boldness, like a new shoot, darkens the harsh green of the large grape leaves. The bitter green of the spinach leaves foreshadows the whimsical elegance of this organic harmony. As in the Art Nouveau style, Amélie has surpassed nature and brought it to abstraction. In the mainstream of this joyful art, she skillfully played with exotic green notes, turning Paradisamide into Paradise.

Paradis Perdu, a fragrance with all the vitality of Art Nouveau style, is an ode to the vineyards surrounding the estate. Their green slopes inspired perfumer Amelie Bourgeois to create a series of captivating and merging scents, as intoxicating and graceful as the Belle Epoque lines.
The vitality of plants, the new Eve of this Garden of Eden, rises subtly from the ground in a swirl of vetiver. Supported by tendrils of vines promising long-lasting freshness, it turns from granular to dark green.
Basil and its youthful boldness soften the austere green of large grape leaves. The bitter green of spinach leaves underlines the original elegance of this organic accord.
Following the example of Art Nouveau, Amélie Bourgeois elevates nature to the level of abstraction. Servant of her joyful art, she masterfully plays with exotic green notes that give Paradisamide a heavenly character.
