Attendre & Espérer by Frapin
Launch Year: 2023
Perfumer: Meabh McCurtin
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Fragrance Profile:
A tribute to Edmond Dantès from The Count of Monte Cristo, named after the novel's closing line: "Wait and hope." Black Pepper, Neroli and Citron open with a sharp, vivid freshness cut with spice. Cardamom and Iris warm the heart with elegant complexity before a deeply satisfying base of Haitian Vetiver, Walnut and Atlas Cedar delivers earthy depth and a quietly addictive nuttiness.
Performance:
Good longevity with an assertive vetiver trail that projects confidently for several hours before settling close to skin. One of the stronger performers in the Frapin range.
Ideal For:
Year-round wear, with a natural lean toward cooler seasons and evenings. A refined, masculine-leaning unisex fragrance for those drawn to classic vetiver compositions with a literary, intellectual spirit.
