The Orchid Man from Frapin, created by Jérôme Epinette in 2015, is a spicy, green, leathery floral. Spice, green, wood, flowers, leather and citrus are all described in equal measure.

It opens with black pepper for a dry, prickling spice and bergamot for a fresh citrus lift. The heart pairs jasmine, smooth and slightly animalic, with leather, which brings a smooth, smoky texture. The base is earthy and warm, with oakmoss giving a damp, mossy greenness, patchouli an earthy depth and amber a soft, resinous glow.

Worn by anyone, its mix of pepper, leather and moss suits autumn and cooler spring days, and it works by day or evening. It will appeal to someone who enjoys a textured, slightly vintage-feeling scent where floral sensuality meets leather and moss, and who prefers character over sweetness, with a dry, earthy finish.
