"I was lucky enough to travel from the north to the south of India during a charity race this year and on passing through Mysore, the verses of "If" came to me. It was my grandfather, a great traveller if ever there was one, who introduced me to this poem when I was a child. This lesson that needs to be repeated every day in order to become what we are" - David Frossard, artistic director of Parfums Frapin.

- Amber
- Woods
Bright sweet and soft woody amber
This almost smelt like coconut upon first spray! Masculine lean. The pepper is not overwhelming but combined with the ginger gives it a nice kick. Then a beautiful smooth combination of cashmeran, cinnamon, Tonka bean and wood. I agree with the previous reviewer that this is very different to Gris Charnel. I find Gris Charnel VERY intense. This is like a sweeter softer version.

- Woods
Boozy, creamy fig and sandalwood
It was a love from the first sniff. Very easy to wear and inoffensive. People say it smell like gris charnel, but to me they are very different.
My only complaint is about the performance. The projection is weak and the longevity is only moderate.
