Checkmate

Checkmate by Frapin
Launch Year: 2021
Perfumer: Anne-Sophie Behaghel & Camille Chemardin
Concentration: Eau de Parfum

Fragrance Profile:
Inspired by the Sunday chess games between Henri Frapin and his son in the gardens of the Segonzac estate. Cardamom, Bergamot and Lemon open with a crisp, aromatic freshness carried on a spring breeze. Leather, Iris and Heliotrope build a softly powdery, gently animalic heart before Suede, Cashmere Wood, Woody Notes and Cedar settle into a warm, refined base of real elegance and depth.

Performance:
Moderate to strong sillage with very good longevity, especially on fabric. One of the stronger performers in the Frapin range, with the suede and cashmere wood base holding close and warm throughout the day.

Ideal For:
Year-round wear, with a particular affinity for cool afternoons and relaxed occasions. A quietly distinguished unisex fragrance for those who appreciate the understated elegance of leather and iris compositions.

Top Notes:

Cardamom, Bergamot, and Lemon

Middle Notes:

Leather, Iris, and Heliotrope

Base Notes:

Suede, Woody Notes, Cashmere Wood, and Cedar
