"I was lucky enough to travel from the north to the south of India during a charity run this year and while passing through Mysore, the lines of 'If' came to mind. It was my grandfather, a great traveler if any, who introduced me to this poem as a child. A lesson to be repeated every day to become who we are": David Frossard, Artistic Director of Parfums Frapin.
"If" appears as a question from famous author Rudyard Kipling. He invites us to reflect on how to evolve and pretend to become the perfect man in his poem "You will become a man, my son".
The fragrance transports us to India, where Anne-Sophie Behagel is inspired by sandalwood from Mysore in the background and pepper in the head, from the Karnataka region, enhanced by milky fig.
